What owners wrote
The vehicle caught on fire from the gas tank. I had driven the car put gas in the car parked the car and it caught on fire. The fire men said the fire started from the gas system.. The car was parked in private parking lot running.
We purchased a used 2001 olds aurora in march 2003. We also purchased the extended warranty offered by the dealer. Shortly after we purchased this vehicle we noticed the headlights and interior lights flucuating wildly (as if we were turning off the headlights) along with the voltage. The dealer said this was "normal". It got so bad my husband refused to let me drive the car, even during the day in the event the car shut off.
