| Hello I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Aruora That i just bought in April, Now the sterring wheel is loose it moves up and down and you can feel some play in it while driving! So i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of such a thing like this? At first it didn't pass state inspection because of the play the wheel had in it,,So the place i bought it from somehow got a sticker on it..Than he told me it was suspoes to be that way incase i got in an accident so i wouldn't be trapped in my car..I feel that is bull s*** because why would the state not have known about that? Anyways please some help here before i go back to where i bought it from and give them hell..I drive with 2 little children in the car with me..So i don't want to put them nor myself at risk for an accident..Thanks | |

95 aurora Check engine light with hard shift from park to reverse and hard shift neutral to drive-in the past this has generally been bad pcm. Took to dealer that I have had success in fixing problems in the past. They hooked up code reader and the check engine light was not on, and computer did not store trouble codes. It shifted fine when they tested it, however the gages would not work-84,000 miles and never had this problem. Dealer said they only hooked up code reader, did not do anything else-any ideas? I have read ignition switch issue-I will try other key. Any other suggestions? I would appreciate any responses.

Replying to: pscheid (Sep 05, 2008 6:37 am) I change my oil and filter at 7,000 miles. I use 10-30 Pennzoil and it doesn't use any. I have 117K on my aurora. |

Replying to: boston08 (Aug 30, 2008 4:52 am) Is there any side play? Going back to a complaint of mine, wife bought without consulting me. I got in and noticed lots of play, gave wheel a hard shake and upper assembly fell into my lap. At the tilt joint, aluminum castings with a steel pin about 5/8" on each side of column for the joint. At some time one of the pins was replaced with a quarter inch drive socket which was still loose and the shake broke the casting. Whole column was replaced. Definitely time for removing covers and doing an inspection.
