NHTSA Complaint #10063838 — 2002 OLDSMOBILE AURORA

I HAVE HAD MY 2002 AURORA FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES FOR VARIOUS REASONS. NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY I PICKED IT UP AT THE DEALER. IT HAD A DEFECTIVE PAINT JOB AND THEY HAD TO REPAINT THE CAR. REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD TWICE BECAUSE IT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS A LOUD SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR WHICH THEY CANNOT FIX. I HAD THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR FOR THIS AT LEAST 6 TIMES. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE (LIKE A LOUD CLOCK) COMING FROM UNDER THE CENTER OF THE DASH. THERE IS A SQUEALING NOISE FROM THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE CAR WHEN YOU FIRST ACCELERATE FROM A STAND STILL. TO DATE, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE CAR. THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY. MOST OF THE TIME THE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT RE-CREATE THE NOISES. *JB
