| Car stalls once a day, almost every day in traffic. sometimes it doesn't quite stall and catches itself and learches forward a few feet. neither oldsmobile or indipendent mechanics can find the problem. tha codes are there in memory of the car but the codes do not say what to do about the problem. know one knows what to do other than guessing and changing expensive parts. *nm | |||

| 1. the lights came on by themselves and started flickering. 2.this drained the battery. 3. the mechanic had to replace the multi function stalk switch and a module under the dash. this seems to be a common problem with the aurora's, and i feel that oldsmobile needs to recall these cars or at least reimburse all of the owners who have experienced this problem. a simple internet search on ggogle.com found many people with the same problem, so it's obviously a design problem. *ak | |||
