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.

1995 oldsmobile aurora would not start. *bf the second time the vehicle came to halt while on the interstate. After a deep diagnosis, it was determined that the pump assembly was burnt and a new pump module needed to be installed. The wiring to the fuel pump had overheated and melted the insulation off one of the wires.
While driving, the consumer smelled gas, got home, and noticed that the plastic fuel line system was leaking gasoline, and causing stalling. The engine wouldn't start again. The dealership indicated to the consumer that there was a recall, but this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. *ak recall# 04v110000. High pressure heavy flow fuel leak under the hood from the lines from the tank to rail on the fuel line. The leak was heavy.
Fuel rail ruptured on my 1995 oldsmobile aurora. Gasoline everywhere. Cost to repair was $516.09. Repair center said they had never seen a rupture this bad before the fire. Luckily a fire did not start.
Vehicle would not start due to the lower half of the tilt knuckle was broken, which also allowed the steering wheel to rest against the seat.
