Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: Some passenger vehicles equipped with 4.0l v8 engines have a condition in which the nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction may degrade and crack. Additionally, the 1995 model year uses a unique underhood fuel return line that may crack. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment.
Risk: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine fuel rail with a new stainless steel fuel rail. Dealers will also install a revised chassis fuel return line. The recall began on june 2, 2004, for 1996-1997 oldsmobile aurora vehicles. Owners of 1995 cadillacs and 1996-1997 oldsmobile aurora were sent letters on august 6, 2004. Additional letters to owners will be forthcoming. Owners should contact oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.
Seat belts:front:webbing
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The rear shoulder belt(s) do not retract. A retainer could separate from a rear seat shoulder belt retractor which results in the retractor return spring becoming disengaged.
Risk: In a crash, an occupant may receive more severe injuries if there is excessive slack in the shoulder belt.
Fix: Dealers will inspect both rear shoulder belt retractors for correct function and install a spring cover retaining strap to each retractor. If a retractor does not function correctly, it will be replaced.

The engine was smogged in 2018 went to feb 2019 dmv they said it needed anther smog car stalls then picks up oil leaks and windows stall going up on driver side it runs good tags expire may 26 2018
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.
I had just purchased my 1995 oldsmobile aurora in 8/2007 with under 60,000 miles and i noticed the card was slamming into gear and also not shifting correctly. Almost like transmission was slipping. I spent over 1200.00 in motor mount repairs and the issue cont. Until i pulled off from a 2waystop…
Transmission was 'stuck' in 2nd gear due to the plastic components in the shift solenoids breaking. Cost $700.00 in repair bills and gm has a service bulletin out advising their locations of this problem and state that the replacement gm parts are now metal. *tr
