Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Beginning in may 2003 we have had our 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora stall eight different times. It always stall after being driven on interstate highways. It stalled most often while leaving exit ramps and making left turns onto surface streets. Once it stalled at a toll booth. The local dealer changed parts in may 2003 and february 2004. After the last two incidents in may 2004, they have not been able to identify the cause, but are still trying. We have not had an accident yet, but with the car stalling as we cross busy highways, we could have been hit broadside at least two times.”
