Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. the lights came on by themselves and started flickering. 2.this drained the battery. 3. the mechanic had to replace the multi function stalk switch and a module under the dash. this seems to be a common problem with the aurora's, and i feel that oldsmobile needs to recall these cars or at least reimburse all of the owners who have experienced this problem. a simple internet search on ggogle.com found many people with the same problem, so it's obviously a design problem. *ak
