Vehicle lost power while driving and suddenly died. *bf the dealer did not seem to have the knowledge of how to repair the problem or even what was causing it. There was some thought, that it was caused by the anti-device and/or the computerized key.

The federal safety agency recall campaign 04v110000: fuel rail tubing; three weeks prior to this complaint the recall was performed. Currently, the vehicle has a tendency to stall without warning. Once this occurs the brakes and steering are affected, losing power. This constantly puts the occupants in jeopardy.

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.

Coolant leak has been serviced about six to seven times. My aurora is currently in the round rock, texas classic gm dealership for another try. Also, the car is being outfitted with a device which will take a picture of the engine /electronic systems to determine why the engine quits while driving. This has occurred about 5 times and I was almost involved in an accident entering a freeway when I lost all power. I have been asked to press an installed button the next time the engine stalls. I often get a hard shift when going from reverse to drive. About 20% of the time. Told this problem could not be duplicated by dealer.

54,697 miles, throttle sticking. 62000 miles, engine misfiring, spark plugs replaced. 63k miles, serpintine belt broke. 68,560 miles, service engine soon light came on. Input speed sensor inside transmission needed replacement. Internal harness found to be leaking fluid past terminals to outside of transmission which in turn caused saturation of external harness also. Air conditioning also not working. At 69,356 miles the alternator had to be replaced and the steering wheel colomn broke. The tow truck man tried to turn the wheels when the power steering was gone because of the altenator going out. The altenator died while I was driving but I was able to pull to the side before losing all power. The tow truck man did not put excessive force on the steering wheel. The steering wheel was flopping around loose. A pin had come loose and had to be replaced. The dealer said it could have easily happened while I was driving the car, causing an accident. We sold the car.

Fuel return line: foul smell in car, took to emich olds but failed to correct. Returned due to continued smell, finally diagnosed and repaired leak. Fuel rail/fuel regulator: strong, sickening fumes entered car interior, then car lost power and barely maintained 20mph on way home. After I parked in my driveway, a large quantity of gasoline leaked onto the driveway. I had to call the fire department to assess safety before towing car for repair. After repair was made, strong gasoline fumes remained in engine compartment and continued seeping into car. Emich was finally able to apply a cleaning treatment to remove smell. Crankcase seal: repair was done incorrectly by emich olds, had to be repeated. Note: there were a large number of other mechanical repairs needed on this car, particularly in the last year, too many to report here. Many required more than one trip to emich to diagnose/repair. This car is a lemon!!!this car is a lemon!!!, had to be repeated a second time by emich olds. Driveway at home, a large.
