2001 Oldsmobile Aurora Exterior lighting Problems

“We purchased this vehicle on 9/2007 with 65,327 miles. The 1st year or so, it was ok, except for the emmisions system which they repaired. Over the next years, we have had to replace the brakes, rotors constantly! Then the stability control light kept coming on warning of the ABS/traction control problem. Then, my lights starting going out in the car, dash, computer system warning area, and head lights flickering. The car shakes excessively when I try to stop and go over 55 miles an hour on highway to the point I think the front end is going to fall off! …”

“I bought this 2001 Aurora used in 2015. The check engine was on and when I questioned previous owner he stated it was a sensor that needed to be replaced. I took it to an independent auto repair shop and it was put on a diagnostic machine and there weren't any failures, alerts or faulty sensors detected. June of 2016 my dash board system stopped working. I can't see my odometer the gas hand doesn't work and it has lost all illumination. I've had fuses checked, replaced etc. In october 2016 my air conditioning unit stopped working. Replaced compressor, to no avail. …”

“This is not applicable to a particular vehicle I own. It is a major concern to me though. I have noticed many 2001 Oldsmobile auroras driving around with rear fog lights on under conditions where they are not necessary. The rear fog lights look like brake lights, and more than once I thought the person was trying to stop. I feel this is very dangerous, and someone needs to investigate this issue.”

“The rear fog lights are very distracting. They are as bright as the brake lights and could be confused as them. At night they can also be blinding and deter from their real purpose. European cars typically have one rear fog light in the back. This is usually one of the back-up lights. The olds uses two very bright red lights for this. Most of the time, this lights are on when they should not be.”
