1997 Oldsmobile Aurora engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine component failure at 68,000 miles. Head bolt inserts failing causing oil and coolant leakage. Gm service request #1-187589352. Car purcased new with extended warranty expiring in april, 2003. Repair estimate in excess of $6,100. Service bulletin 99086 issued in dec 1999 discovered by owner on the federal safety agency database which service dealer confirms is the mode of failure. Gm customer care representative denied assistance. Complete engine failure imminent.
Oil pan, lower block case oil leaks that cost $2200.00 to fix. A dealership in san antonio tx said all 1995 through 1999 olds aurora's did this and that the 4.0l v8 engine had to be removed in order to repair the problem. The gaskets cost around $35.00 dollors but the labor cost $2200. Gm told me it was not true that all the olds aurora's from 95 thru 99 had such a problem. This car was designed so that an owner that has mechanical skills would not be able to repair this problem at their home with out removing the engine. I feel this is a bad design of the engine and car. I feel that the gaskets are not holding up due to the fact that these cars run at a very high temperature between 225 degrees f. To 250 degrees f at all times. I would venture to say that the gasket manufactures did not intend on the gaskets installed in these cars to be under a constant heat load of 225 degrees to 250 degrees f. The high heat range causes other problems as well. Gm said to pay the price or not because they had no obligation to repair this problem.
First problem was loss of freon after 4 attempts it was fixed. Second problem was rubber molding around windshield and top of car doors 5 attempts and still not fixed third problem was an oil leak . 1st attempt dye test and no results, 2ond attempt new descending unit. Call customer service with oldsmobile and received a case # and they put me in touch with the service manager took the car in and they are now replacing the oil pan seal at no charge. I hope this will take care of the problem and renew my faith in the ability of the dealership to really fix the problem.
