1995 Oldsmobile Aurora fuel system complaints
Page 5 of 7: complaints 101 to 130 of 173, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Pin hole in injector fuel line causing gas to spray on engine. Strong odor in cabin. Covered pin hole with rubber fuel line and clamp. Waiting on latest recall action . I feel this is a very dangerous situation.
Fuel leak developed in my 95 aurora. Fuel was spraying on the engine which caused strong odors in the garage and open air. It was fixed by a garage close to work. Then the fuel rail failed again, three months later in a different place, and was replaced by the dealer at my cost.
I am the owner of a 1995 olds aurora. I have had two fuel rail leaks in the last two weeks. A gm recall was annnounced last week. The first leak was on the fuel rail to the motor from the firewall. That line was replaced with a rubber fuel injector gas line. The second leak was an inch long crack on one of the nylon jumper tubes between two injuectors. This second leak sprayed the top of the motor with gas. I don't know why it didn't catch fire. The good lord was with me coming home from work. I replaced that jumper with the rubber fuel line also. Now I fear driving the car. I have talked to the olds reps and they indicate I should have the fuel rail replaced. But the replacement is the identical type fuel rail. It makes no sense to replace defective with defective at my expense! The gm recall is 04014 and it indicates that it may be may before a fix is available. I need advise on how to proceed.
I have a 1995 oldsmobile aurora that had the plastic fuel rail cracked. They said I would have to bring it in and have the whole rail replaced. The estimate on the replacement was: $295.00 for the fuel rail and about $175.00 for labor. I ended up fixing the problem with some 5/8 fuel line that I purchased for around $4.00. I haven't had any problems in the past year with it leaking, but I am scared that the other plastic tubes could break at any time. A friend just e-mailed me about the report you had on msnbc and I saw where you reported 123 cases. I would think that number will grow.
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.
May of 2003 there was a strong smell of gas from engine on my 1995 oldsmobile aurora. I took my automobile to my mechanic. He diagnosed the problem as a crack in the fuel rail. He was told by the parts salesman at the local dealership that they had never heard of the fuel rail failing. He ordered a new one that was installed by my mechanic. I now see that you have issue a recall 04v110000 on march 03, 2004 it would definitely seem that the problem is wide spread and I was lucky that I didn't have a fire.
I own a 1995 olds aurora, and have had for the 2nd time a major fuel rail leak due the plastic hoses becoming brittle. This time almost caused a fire. This needs to be addressed by oldsmobile and gm. This can cost someone their life. This is a very seroius situation.
Gasoline in my 1995 oldsmobile aurora has been spraying out of one of the failed fuel lines.
Dealer replaced the fuel rail at 50,000 miles/62,000 mile's and again at 66,000 miles, but problem was still occurring. *ak (bladder leak, gas leak, fluid leak, fluid coolant leak) there was a strong gas smell, transmission problem, the engine hesitation as if it were going to backfire, overheating, banging noise when the gears were shifted which was an intermittent failure per PCM. The reg/filter and throttle sealing was replaced.
While driving at any speed the vehicle would back fire and misfire. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice for this problem. On one occasion the dealer replaced the fuel pump and fuel regulator, but the vehicle still didn't run properly. The manufacturer is aware of the problem.
Mechanic would not allow the vehicle to be moved when taken in for repairs due to a gas leak on a hot engine. *ph the consumer read an article which indicated that there was a recall on the vehicles fuel line.
I am having continuous problems with losing power between 1500 and 3000 rpms at any speed. The car will sputter and jerk then once out of the range of 3000 RPM the car seems to regain the power that it didn't have earlier. The electric system has never shut down completely and the check engine light has only come on three times then gone off again not to return until months later. I have not had an accident related to this problem yet. But I am afraid that one time I will be trying to get across an intersection and I will lose power and get hit.
Fuel rail developed a leak, causing gas to be sprayed all over the engine. Fuel rail broke in two places. *ak
A leak occurred in the fuel rail assemble of my 1995 oldsmobile aurora. A pinhole leak was spraying a fine mist of gas over the entire engine.
Consumer smelled a fuel smell from under the hood. Upon inspection, the consumer located a pin size hole in the rigid plastic side of the fuel rail. An investigation was opened on this issue, pe 030 050. *ak *tt
The fuel delivery system, or the material from which it made from is of questionable integrity. I had a return fuel line with a crack that needed repair. Two months down the line my fuel rail cracked. On both occasions I can not believe there was not a fire. Gm at this point does not want to admit or acknowledge that there is a problem. The car was well maintained and only has 55,875 miles to date. Gm's response is it is normal maintenance repair and there willing to sell me a new car with a factory warranty. This is a major safety issue to all aurora's or any gm product with the same fuel delivery system on the road. Kevin elswick, concerned consumer. To date, awaiting for return response from gm.
I have a 1995 oldsmobile aurora,with a 4.0 l gas engine. The fuel rail started to leak and could have resulted in a fire. The cost of this repair was over $700.00. I feel general motors should contact all owners with vehicles that have this engine. They should check and repair all detective fuel rails before someone is killed or seriously injured.
Rail injector tubing fractured three (3) times. First time my wife drove it 17 miles at 60 MPH not understanding what was going on. Luckily the car did not catch fire, but it took weeks to get the smell of gasoline out of the car and the ventilation system. Had someone drove by and flipped out a cigarette or a small electrical arc in the engine compartment, I have no doubt it would have went off like a bomb. I caught the two (2) other fractured tubes by checking the engine before she drove it and when she returned home. Finally, I had it replaced, at a cost of around $400, but with no guarantee that the same thing would not happen again. Oldsmobile engine engineering really fumbled the ball on this design of fuel delivery in the engine compartment, plastic tubing to carry fuel to the injectors (at around 50 psi) in a hot engine compartment. Sad part is that the new replacement part was made out of the same material. You ask the questions below; was there a fire? Was there a crash? Property damage? Reported to police? A rather ironic set of questions! Had there been a fire at 60 MPH, I'm sure a crash would have happened, property damage would be a given and the police would have been called. But for what purpose,the fractured plastic injector tubing (which created the whole mess) would have been consumed by the fire and everyone would be asking "what could have caused this?" I believe I have provided you with the answer to that last question. Sad part is that I see many of these oldsmobile aurora driving around all over the country, and unfortunately no one with the power to do so, like yourself, feel compelled to let the american consumers know that this very dangerous situation exist and make oldsmobile admit it has a life threatening problem in it's fuel delivery system.

A gas leak developed in the engine compartment due to a defective fuel injector rail assembly, which had a crack in it. Two months later, the fuel line developed another leak, this time spraying gas all over the engine, creating an extreme fire hazzard. I did have both of these items fixed before there was an actual fire, at great expense. ($578 the first time and $731 the second time).
Gas fumes smelling the car. Had to have the fuel rails replaced. Car had 80,046 miles.
Strong fuel odor entered inside the vehicle while driving. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer. Technician stated that fuel rail was leaking gas.
Fuel line fittings crack and release high-pressure spray of fuel onto hot manifold and exhaust creating noxious fumes and fire risk.
I just replaced the fuel rail and a fuel pressure valve on 10/16/2003 because of a leak. It didn't cause a fire, but was very dangerous. My car is a '95 oldsmobile aurora. The repair cost was $846.52.
Fuel rail tubing slit open, spraying gasoline all over engine compartment. My wife drove the car in danger without realizing it. I had to have the car towed to the dealer.
My 1995 oldsmobile aurora developed a fuel leak along the fuel rail which could have resulted in an engine fire. My mechanic stated he didn't know what kept the car from catching on fire.
Major fuel leak on top of my engine from the fuel delivery system. I am replacing this componet today...my mechanic was visible shaken when he saw the gushing of gasoline from the delivery system. He said I would have a fire anytime...bad system.
I smelled gasoline in my 1995 oldsmobile aurora. It turned out to be a leaky fuel rail. The mechanic said it happened all the time with auroras. 09-2003.
We have a 1995 oldsmobile aurora. We had a leak in the fuel pump return line. At the time the service people at the dealer did not say there was anything unusual about this, but we knew better. Fuel lines that spring leaks are very dangerous, and normally indicate faulty engineering. We now have learned that there is an investigation going on regarding this. Please feel free to contact us for any information we can provide. Also, we only had the return line that was leaking replaced, we did not have the high pressure fuel feed line replaced because it was not leaking at the time. Should we be concerned about this? Please advise, as soon as possible.
I own a 1995 oldsmobile aurora (VIN [xxx]). Due to fuel leaks, about a month ago I had the fuel rail replaced at e & d auto service in dearborn mi. Today I read in the detroit news about the federal safety agency investigation of this failure. The leaks were in the plastic section of the rail as described in the detroit news article: http://www.detnews.com/2003/autosinsider/0311/03/autos-314583.htm *la information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
