We had trouble with starting the car off and on since we acquired it in the fall of 2014. May of 2015 it finally simply wouldn't start and was diagnosed as an ignition switch malfunction and replaced. The replacement is now not working either.

I had just purchased my 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora in 8/2007 with under 60,000 miles and I noticed the card was slamming into gear and also not shifting correctly. Almost like transmission was slipping. I spent over $1200 in motor mount repairs and the issue cont. Until I pulled off from a 2waystop and my car would not mv from the middle of the street. I was almost hit by oncoming traffic on both sides of me and I had a small child strapped in a car seat in the back seat...at this point I took my car to hv the transmission rebuilt. The issue continued after this and I was told to replace the alternator. I did this and the issue stopped but I cont to hv electrical prob with the car like the windows not rolling down or seat not able to mv bk/frth. I was able to use the sunroof but this has stopped again recently and the issues with power have started again. It is beginning to get shifty and I am concerned to the point of anxiety when crossing intersections. Also I was told when I took my car to hv a tune up done I was told there was an electrical issue as the mechanic informed me he rmvd a fuse which seemed to be smoking. This had since been rplcd.
