Oldsmobile Reliability for the Year Ending June 30, 2018
General NotesHow do we select "competing car models"? Users of TrueDelta's car price comparison tool most often compare these cars to the Oldsmobile.
Models and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.
Any result under 5 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Oldsmobile Reliability and Durability: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Too many cheap things break. Ignition cylinder is a common and expensive failure. Struts wore out before 70k miles. see full Oldsmobile review |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Brakes are very prone to wear and not cheap to fix. But, that is about it for mechanical durability, not much else in the way of mechanical repairs to complain of. Turn signals have been a recurring problem, both bulbs and switch. see full Oldsmobile review |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 4.0L V8 4-speed automatic FWD |
Oil pan gasket needs replacing, this is a common problem for the Aurora, and you are forced to have the engine lifted to replace the gasket. see full Oldsmobile review |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 4.0L V8 4-speed automatic FWD |
Had some unusual parts failure, but the service was terrific. see full Oldsmobile review |
