problem #5

May 202015

Aurora

  • 68,000 miles
We had trouble with starting the car off and on since we acquired it in the fall of 2014. May of 2015 it finally simply wouldn't start and was diagnosed as an ignition switch malfunction and replaced. The replacement is now not working either.

problem #4

Jul 272005

Aurora 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,000 miles
Center cup holders are to shallow, when I am drinking a hot drink, the contents of the drink are spilled on to me when the container falls out of the holder. The result is driver/passenger getting burned by hot coffee. No matter the size of the container, the holder is to shallow. Uncapped containers can not be used in the center cup holder without falling out on turns or curves. The center cup holder is useless since they are to shallow resulting in anything being placed in it being thrown out in turns/curves, causing driver to take eyes off the road and catch items spilling or falling.

Purchased Aurora used, but had problems from the start. It takes several tries before starting up each time; gas pedal shimmies and vibrates between 65 & 70 mph; coolant system failure; car cuts off while driving; and paint chips off.

problem #2

Nov 102001

Aurora

  • miles
Engine check light; transmission slams into gear; dtc #76 indicates a pressure solenoid in transmission needs replacement. Has happened six times. Original transmission was replaced at 52,000 miles. No transmission shop wants to work on it because it may not fix the problem. Has broken two engine mounts when putting transmission into reverse or drive due to the hardness of the operation. Always happens when engine (car) is cold, is started, and placed into reverse. Clear code and all is normal untill the next time.
