12,808 miles (2-29-96) seal, lower crankcase replaced. 34,603 miles (11-25-97) diagnose electrical problems-replace radio. 44,513 miles (8-19-98) diagnose electrical problems, replace alternator controller, PCM/vcm (computers) 49,098 miles (12-30-98) diagnose electrical problems, again replace alternator (alternator is causing computers to fail) 63,420 miles (3-1-2000)- I purchase at end of my partner?s lease and he leased new aurora-dealer never advise him the electrical problems would be reoccurring. Dealer preformed major 60,000 service and indicated the care was fine. 65,777 miles (7-9-2001). The car backfired while wife was crossing busy intersection and was not very responsive. I was just able to get to local garage next to intersection to try to at least get repair it enough to drive. I had no idea it would require major repair since it had only been 2,357 since it had a complete major 60,000-mile dealer service. The repairs ($2,480) included the ignition module, ECM (computer), electrical brake control module (ABS system), and alternator. The diagnostic showed the alternator malfunction was damaging the above components. This is the third alternator in 21,264 miles ( and second emc ). There is a manufacture design problem and the manufacture appears not to be able to fix it. 70.090 miles (5-28-2003) the car was taken in to the dealer because it slams into gear when shifting from park to reverse and shifts rough during normal driving. I was advised that the ECM (computer) was causing the problem and would have to be replaced. After getting the complete car history, I found that it has been an on going problem that gm has not solved. The current dealer was just going to replace the computer until I advised him he needs to check alternator since it appears from past experience it is involved in taking out the computers.

What owners say
Five days after the purchase radiator cracked, car overheated, took to dealership, while speaking with the service manager, I explained the ABS/traction control light came on and stays on as of 3rd day after purchase and that the engine was surging and back fire type noise from under the hood during acceleration and the car had no power. The front right fog light was not working the day of purchase and to replace it, I was charged for the replacement bulb. There was no buyers guide on this vehicle on the day I test drove the car nor on the day of purchase, I purchased a one year extended warranty through the dealership in the amount of $1295.00, and was told it covered everything. Service manager was contacted on the day I picked the car up after the radiator repair, and was told the other issues were not corrected at this time due to the warranty not having time to process. A few hours later, I called the service manager to report that the car was running hot , smoking from under the hood and he blew it off as coolant burnoff and if it continued to return it on the following monday, this was on a friday. Was involved in accident that same friday night, yet it was minor and I drove the car home from the scene. I drove to a repair facility on monday, and there is when I was informed that the radiator repair from the previous week was not done and pictures were taken and I met with the sales manager and showed him the pictures, yet he still insisted the repair was done, I e-mailed the photos to gm and oldsmobile with my complaint. No response to this day 01/29/01.
Abs/tc did not allow me to stop in time and I hit the vehicle in front of me. Now the traction off light illuminates constantly (> 40 MPH it enables the fault) and the insurance company will not pay to have the bpmv replaced.
Seat belts/transmission/ABS brakes/ starter failed. Also engine continuously overheated.
When apply the brake it feels like there's no power have ABS anti-lock brake . Tt
