I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE TO SERVICE MY STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ON MY 2001 OLDS AURORA. HOFFMAN OLDS STATES THERE IS NO RECALL OUTSTANDING AND THE BRAKE MODULATOR UNIT WILL COST ABOUT 1000 TO REPLACE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT MY BRAKE PERFORMANCE, BUT THE WARNING KEEPS COMING BACK DAILY. I BELIEVE THE RECALL # IS 00V114000. I DO NOT HAVE THE VIN #, THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER. *TR

I HAVE OWNED 3 OLDSMOBILE AURORA'S. 1-1999 MODEL 2-2001 MODELS I NOTICED WITH ALL THREE CARS, THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS NOT PROPERLY OPERATING. THE WINDOW JUST FALLS DOWN ON IT'S OWN AND WON'T ROLL BACK UP. I HAVE TO WEDGE SOMETHING IN THE WINDOW IN ORDER TO KEEP IT UP AND THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. I FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL THREE AURORA'S. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS THE SAME YEARS AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, ON THIS 2001 AURORA I HAVE NOW, HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTI-BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. I NOTICED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, THAT I HAD TO COME TO A SUDDEN BREAK IN SNOWY WEATHER CONDITIONS, MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY AND MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. THE STABILITY SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON THE INFORMATION SYSTEM EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND IT WAS HAVING THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS WHICH IS RECALL ID #00V114000 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: FOUNDATION COMPONENTS RECALL. I AM EXPERIENCING THESE SYMPTOMS AND TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME YEAR AS THE RECALL AND SAME SYMPTOMS. *JB
