2001 Oldsmobile Aurora Brakes Problems

“When slowing down to accommodate another car, my vehicle began unable to accelerate and then I noticed that the brakes had locked up as well. I had to take the key out of the car and restart it for it to work again.”

“The vehicle was parked and once I put it into reverse to back out of the parking space, the engine locked up and the steering, brakes, gas didn't work. I had to take the key out of the ignition and restart it.

I found this to be a problem with all three Aurora's. I know other people who has the same years and had the same problems with this vehicle. Also, on this 2001 Aurora I have now, having problems with the anti-brake and traction control system. …”
