“I have owned 3 Oldsmobile Aurora's. 1-1999 model 2-2001 models I noticed with all three cars, there has been a problem with the rear passenger windows not properly operating. The window just falls down on it's own and won't roll back up. I have to wedge something in the window in order to keep it up and that does not always work. 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. …”

“On two occasions, the window on the passenger side, rolled down and then would not roll back up again. The first incident was the front window, the second time the back window on the passenger side would no go up. If you have small children, or live in nd it can be dangerous, as the cold weather is very dangerous.”

The two rear windows actually dropped down into the track while the vehicle was in motion. Now both the front passenger and rear driver side windows are stuck in the up position, as if the window motors are out. I have had to replace numerous same parts on multiple occasions with this vehicle. …”

“Purchased used olds Aurora 2001 v-8 have had nothing but problems with this car, 3 mo after having it, used sunroof for first time, heard loud pop, had to replace whole sunroof, not covered of course. Now whenever it rains, the material is wet and hangs down. But that is nothing compared to all of the other problems with this car. The car when at stop light will lunge forward and almost die, if I coast forward a little it stops for a min. If I want to sit in my car to warm it up, it will die after a min or so. …”
