Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · at 108,000 miles · reported Jun 21, 2019

The engine randomly dies or stalls while in traffic at random times and will not turn back on for several minutes, the vehicle is in motion when the stalling occurs and thankfully only on city streets. Codes have not been present but the stalling and idle leads me to believe it is faulty crankshaft position sensors. In addition to this, the steering column makes an audible click noise when turning past the 12 o'clock position anytime the steering wheel is cranked, it does not happen sometimes, it happens every time.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · reported Jan 6, 2018

I bought this 2001 aurora used in 2015. The check engine was on and when I questioned previous owner he stated it was a sensor that needed to be replaced.

Vehicle Speed Control · at 156,000 miles · reported Jul 25, 2017

I've noticed about a year ago I would start this car, and the RPM's would go very high. After a while it stopped doing it. The last two weeks while driving it accelerates on it own. No need to touch the gas pedal. This can be dangerous, and I'm wondering if there is a recall on this issue.it happens while stationary and while driving.
