ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO PURCHASED IN 2003. SHE STATED THAT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE SECURITY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE ADHERED TO THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE PROCESS WAS TOO LENGTHY TO ATTEMPT EACH TIME SHE HAS TO START THE VEHICLE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE TO DATE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED HER NOT TO INVEST IN CORRECTING THE FAILURE SINCE IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 118,000.

THE 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IM SURE IF YOU TAKE A SURVEY OF ITS OWNERS THE MAJORITY WILL AGREE. THIS CAR HAS UNPREDICTABLE ISSUES AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE DIAGNOSTICS. THEY OBVIOUSLY MADE A MISTAKE WHEN MAKING THIS CAR AND THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO IT. THIS CAR COULD BREAK DOWN AT THE DROP OF A DIME FOR WHATEVER REASON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, WHEELS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HAZARD AND TURN SIGNALS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL; SAME AS THE 2001...THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUED ON THE 2001, BUT NOT THE 2002? I LOSE MY TURN SIGNALS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 TIMES PER 10 MILE TRIP. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION...YET. NO REPAIRS SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED (I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS), BUT IT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ALERO'S REGUARDLESS OF THE MODEL YEAR. THE VEHICLE ALSO WON'T START WHEN IT RAINS, AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF, AND THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. SOMETIMES THE STEREO WON'T TURN ON, AND MOST RECENTLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW WON'T OPEN. I REPLACED THE WHEEL HOUSE ASSEMBLY 3 TIMES IN TWO YEARS. THIS CAR IS AN ELECTRICAL NIGHTMARE! FREQUENTLY IT WON'T START BECAUSE IT THINKS I'M TRYING TO STEAL IT. I ALSO PUT AIR IN ALL MY TIRES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK BECAUSE THEY WON'T HOLD AIR...APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEELS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK THE TIRES BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE IS ALSO AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. WHILE DRIVING THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE COMPONENTS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAD A "SPECIAL POLICY" FOR THE FAILURE, BUT WOULD NOT TAKE ANY LIABILITY FOR THE FAILURE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 47,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
PURCHASED 2003 ALERO ON OCT 8, 2009 ON OCT. 9TH CAR WOULD NOT START OR JUMP, ABS AND SECURITY LIGHT WAS ON, RADIO TURNED OFF. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO DEALER WHO LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY DID NOT DO ANY WORK TO IT. ON OCT 15 WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONTO THE INTERSTATE THE ABS LIGHT AND SECURITY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND SHE COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT WAS LIMITED DUE TO THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE ONLY CODE THEY COULD GET TO REGISTER WAS THAT THE ABS CODE WAS ON. WAS TOLD THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING ELSE BUT DIAGNOSTICS WAS LIMITED ANYWAYS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE ANYMORE. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, TIRES
WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS CAR THE BACKSEATS WERE NOT ATTACHED TO THE CAR. THE DASHBOARD IS PEALING UP ALL THE WAY AND THE PAINT IS GONE FROM MY GEAR SHIFT. BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE I HAD TO GET FIXED FOR INSPECTION COST ABOUT $300. TIRES AND BRAKES NEED REPLACED CONSTANTLY. LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BLINKERS DON'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME AND WHEN THEY DO IT IS THIS HORRIBLE LOUD CLICKING NOISE. CD PLAYER/RADIO STOP WORKING RANDOMLY. AC ONLY WORKS ON 3RD SETTING. REAR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON AND BULBS ARE BRAND NEW. TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN WITH BUTTON FROM INSIDE CAR OR KEYLESS ENTRY. MY TRUNK RANDOMLY COMES OPEN FOR NO REASON AND ONCE WOULD NOT LATCH TO SHUT FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEN RANDOMLY LATCHED SHUT. CAR LEAKS WATER IN THE FRONT AND BACK. RECENTLY MY CAR WON'T START EVERYTIME IT RAINS. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PLACE AND THEY RAN IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. NOW IT'S AT A WINDSHEILD PLACE BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAYS ITS LEAKING WATER INTO FUSE BOX. GLASS PLACE IS SAYING THAT IS NOT IT EITHER. I AM AT MY WITS END. IT DRIES OUT AND WILL START AND AS SOON AS IT RAINS WILL NOT START. I DON'T WANT TO PAY ANOTHER MECHANIC TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I SEE WHERE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT FUSES AND WATERS LEAKS. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TWICE IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND HAD $600 WORTH OF WORK DONE ON MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. I'M VERY AGGITATED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS CAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. I EVEN COMPLAINED TO THE BBB ABOUT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM TO NO AVAIL. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? *TR

CAR WILL NOT START .... SOMETIMES AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN IT WILL NOT START BACK SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE AROUND 30MINS TO START BACK OTHER TIMES LONGER, THE LENGTH OF TIME IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN WHEN IT DOES THIS VARIES SOMETIMES ITS VERY SHORT DISTANCE OTHERS IT IS A LITTLE LONGER. THE CAR TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO THIS. WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED RECENTLY AND THE BATTERY IS FINE. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND BOUGHT A 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO FROM A DEALER WITH A 30 DAY WARRANTY. THE CARS ANTIFREEZE MIXES WITH THE OIL (HEAD GASKET) . HE NEVER FIXED THIS AND DISSAPEARED ON US. THIS WAS IN MARCH 09. I WAS TOLD THAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO CONTACT GM AND THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. PLEASE CONTACT ME KEMA, CORNELL THANKS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN, VISIBILITY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I USED MY HORN TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THAT THEY WERE IN MY LANE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HORN WAS STUCK. THE WINDOW CLIPS ON MY CAR BROKE OFF, AS I HAVE READ OF THESE SAME COMPLAINTS OF OTHER 2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO OWNERS. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS DEFECTS OF THESE TWO PARTS, AND GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. DUE TO THAT FACT, I AM UNABLE TO PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE MY CAR HAS TO HAVE A WORKING HORN AND MY WINDOW MUST BE ABLE TO MOVE UP AND DOWN. ALSO A THIRD COMPLAINT, THERE IS NOW COOLANT THAT IS STARTING TO LEAK INTO MY OIL, WHICH FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND COULD CAUSE A FIRE!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL I MADE A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DIES WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS DIED, PERIOD. LUCKILY IT DID NOT HAPPEN DURING MY 30 MILE DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF SITTING IN THE CAR WITH THE IGNITION OFF, THE CAR DINGS ABOUT 6 TIMES. NO LIGHTS ARE ON, NOT EVEN THE SECURITY LIGHT, (NOTHING THAT IS INDICATIVE TO A MALFUNCTION). IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FRIEND'S SHOP, THE FUEL PUMP TESTED FINE. HE CAME UP WITH A PASSLOCK ISSUE, AND TOLD ME THAT IF THAT IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS DRIVEN QUITE WELL FOR MONTHS UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. IF YOU LET IT SIT FOR 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR IT WILL START RIGHT UP BUT THEN DIE AGAIN WITHIN 10-15 MINUTES. THERE IS NO BLINKING SECURITY LIGHT, NO DIAGNOSTICS SHOWING THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A POSSIBLE PASSLOCK ISSUE. I CANNOT RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I AM MISSING WORK BECAUSE OF THIS, ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT I WILL HAVE SOME KIND OF REPAIR COST, AND NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AM AFRAID I WILL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IF I GO TO A DEALER THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WHEN I MENTION THIS TO PLACES I CALL THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE CAR WOULD JUST DIE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION, ALMOST AS THOUGH IT'S COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC FOR ANY VEHICLE TO STOP WORKING IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WISH IT WERE SO! I WOULDN'T BE SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IF THAT WERE THE CASE! AT THIS POINT SEEMS TO BE A COSTLY DEATH. *TR

THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM ON MY OLDSMOBILE ALERO IS DEFECTIVE, NOT ALLOWING ME TO START MY CAR UNLESS IT GOES THROUGH A 10-15 MINUTE RESET. THIS PROBLEM IS SHARED BY MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT MAY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO RESPOND IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY GM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. RECENTLY, THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, OCCASIONALLY, OR SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I HAVE VIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS VIA THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED VIA THE MAKERS OF MY VEHICLE THAT THE YEAR MY VEHICLE WAS MADE, THE PROBLEM, "IF ANY" WERE FIXED. I FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN WORK ORDERS TO ALLOW THE YEARS BEFORE 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE FOR THIS SAME MALFUNCTION. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL PART PROVIDERS, AND THIS PART IS UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND FOR "FEE", THEY FIRST HAVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, BEFORE THEY CAN TELL ME IF THEY ARE ABLE TO GET THE PART AND IF THEY CAN FIX IT. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE FOR ME AS A DRIVER, BUT ALSO FOR DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS WHO MAY BE UNSURE OF MY TURNING INTENTIONS. ALSO, IN THE EVENT I AM STRANDED IN MY VEHICLE, I CAN'T USED MY HAZARD LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE AS A WHOLE IS IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION, AND I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF NEEDING TO REPLACE IT, JUST BECAUSE OF THE TURNING SIGNALS. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED, AND FROM THE PREVIOUS FREE SERVICES GIVEN FOR THE OTHER MODELS, WE WHO OWN THE 2004 MODELS ARE HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, SO THEY CAN REGROUP THE PREVIOUS FREE WORK GIVEN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS A CONSUMER. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR DILIGENCE, IN PRODUCT AND PUBLIC SAFETY. *TR

THE TURN SIGNAL CONTINUES TO CLICK AFTER MAKING A TURN AND USING THE SIGNAL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ON THE TURNPIKE SWITCHING LANES. I PUT THE TURN SIGNAL ON AND WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF IT CONTINUED TO CLICK BUT THE LIGHTS WERE NOT FLASHING. THE NOISE SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW THE CLICKING WILL OCCUR WHEN I AM DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING WITHOUT USING THE TURN SIGNALS. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE. *TR

I PRESSED THE HAZARD BUTTON IN THE DASH AND THE BUTTON RECEDED INTO THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. PRESSED AGAIN TO TURN THEM OFF. THE BUTTON HAS FALLEN OUT OF THE HOLE INTO THE DASH AND IS, OF COURSE, IMPOSSIBLE TO RETRIEVE. SO NOW I HAVE NO HAZARD LIGHTS. LETS HOPE I DON' T NEED THEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE HAZARD SWITCH FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHICH ALSO CAUSED THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS TO FAIL. NHTSA RECALL #03V327000, EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS: SWITCH WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR WAS MADE PER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN, AIR BAGS
MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE HORN/AIRBAG ASSEMBLY FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. THE HORN, IN COLD WEATHER, HONKS. IT WOULD GO OFF AND CONTINUE IN A CONSTANT HONK (NOT A PULSING HONK) AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE RELAY UNDER THE HOOD IS PULLED. IF THE RELAY IS REPLACED AND THE WEATHER IS STILL COLD IT WOULD GO OFF/HONK WHILE RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. THE WHOLE HORN/AIRBAG ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACE. I REPLACED THE ASSEMBLY 2 YEARS AGO. NOW THE NEW HORN ASSEMBLY GOES OFF EVEN IN WARM WEATHER. SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WHENEVER, CAUSING UN-NEEDED ATTENTION AND DISTRACTING OTHER DRIVERS. THE ONLY SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO TOTALLY DISABLE THE HORN/AIRBAG BY REMOVING THE RELAY UNDER THE HOOD LEAVING ME WITH NO HORN AT ALL. THE COST FOR REPLACEMENT IS OVER $900. MONEY I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THE THIRD UNIT WON'T DO THE SAME THING AS THE OTHER TWO. WHEN I ENTER A SEARCH ON-LINE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ALERO OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
