Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA IN 8/2007 WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES AND I NOTICED THE CARD WAS SLAMMING INTO GEAR AND ALSO NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. ALMOST LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. I SPENT OVER 1200.00 IN MOTOR MOUNT REPAIRS AND THE ISSUE CONT. UNTIL I PULLED OFF FROM A 2WAYSTOP AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MV FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF ME AND I HAD A SMALL CHILD STRAPPED IN A CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT...AT THIS POINT I TOOK MY CAR TO HV THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. THE ISSUE CONTINUED AFTER THIS AND I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. I DID THIS AND THE ISSUE STOPPED BUT I CONT TO HV ELECTRICAL PROB WITH THE CAR LIKE THE WINDOWS NOT ROLLING DOWN OR SEAT NOT ABLE TO MV BK/FRTH. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE SUNROOF BUT THIS HAS STOPPED AGAIN RECENTLY AND THE ISSUES WITH POWER HAVE STARTED AGAIN. IT IS BEGINNING TO GET SHIFTY AND I AM CONCERNED TO THE POINT OF ANXIETY WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS. ALSO I WAS TOLD WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO HV A TUNE UP DONE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME HE RMVD A FUSE WHICH SEEMED TO BE SMOKING. THIS HAD SINCE BEEN RPLCD. *TR

DURING THE RECENT FLOOD IN HOUSTON, SOME WATER GOT INTO MY OLDS AURORA. NOW, ONCE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, THEY CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THE FRONT DOORS CAN BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IF YOU HAVE A KEY! THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH SOMEONE CAN LITERALLY BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. ALL LOCKS SHOULD OPERATE MANUALLY! THE LOCKS IN MY CAR WORKED WELL BEFORE THE WATER SEEPED IN. NOW THEY WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS AT ALL!
