1999 Oldsmobile Aurora — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 100 evidence records for the 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 38 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.
- Electrical system10 (26.3%)
- Steering4 (10.5%)
- Air bags (restraint system)3 (7.9%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2003.
- Equipment & accessories3 (7.9%)
- Tires & wheels3 (7.9%)
- Brakes2 (5.3%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 1999–2001.
Other / uncategorized: 1 classifications (2.6%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (959 records, model years 1995–2003) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, engine and electrical system.
- Manufacturer communications (1,421 records, model years 1995–2003) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, engine and electrical system.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle
