INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I BOUGHT A 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, I NOTICED AT THE BEGINNING THAT THE TURN SIGNALS NOR THE HAZARD LIGHTS WORKED. WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING FROM CHANGING BULBS,CHECKING FUSES AND GROUND WIRES TO NO AVAIL. I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WHERE THE OIL HAS BACKED UP INTO MY OIL RESERVOIR, MY CAR HAS NOT OVERHEATED AND NO OIL LEAKS. THAT IS HOW I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE HAZARD SWITCH ON THE ALERO. I CONTACTED GM AND GAVE THEM ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEEDED. AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT MY MAKE OR MODEL THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. THE DESCRIPTION ON THEIR WEBSITE PIN POINTED MY PROBLEM TO A TEE! AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT. MY CAR HAS 91,000 MILES. VIN: [XXX]. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE, JUST BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MY MAKE OR MODEL AS THEY ARE STATING DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT COULD NOT HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS, I HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING THE CAR WHEN I TURNED ON THE IGNITION BUT AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES I WOULD START IT UP AGAIN AND IT RAN FINE. WHILE THIS HAPPENED, THE SECURITY LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND CONTINUE TO DO SO RANDOMLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEARED THE SECURITY CODE ONCE BUT THE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN AFTER ABOUT A MONTH WHICH MEANS THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AND PREVENTING THE CAR FROM STARTING. THE ENGINE ALSO RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, EXITING THE FREEWAY RAMP, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT . THIS INCIDENCE HAS OCCURRED TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT, SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER. BEFORE IT OCCURS, THE ACCELERATION FROM THE GAS PEDDLE IS A LITTLE ROUGH AND THE ENGINE SHAKES AND VIBRATES WHEN STOPPED. I HAVE TO SHIFT THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO RUN AGAIN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO CONTROL IT. BUT ITS REALLY DANGEROUS AND GETTING ANNOYING SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO STALL AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 5 OCCASIONS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AFTER HAVING TRIED TO CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTOR WHICH DID NOT HELP. THEIR SCANNING SYSTEM COULD NOT PICK UP ANY ERROR CODES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

I HAVE WRITTEN PREVIOUSLY ABOUT MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO, CLEARLY FROM THE EARLIEST OF COMPLAINTS WHICH I SHARE WITH OTHER OWNERS, GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS FROM BRAKES, TIRES, INTAKE GASKETS, WINDOWS BRAKING, BLOWER MOTORS GOING, NO DIPSTICKS FOR TRANSMISSION LINES, I COULD GO ON AND ON, THE MESSAGE I RECEIVE IS THROUGH THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS YOU DON'T INVESTIGATE AND ASSIST IN FINDING A SOLUTION AND GM/OLDSMOBILE COULD GIVE A ?!@#$% ABOUT THE JUNK THEY PRODUCED AND MADE MILLIONS ON AT THE LACK OF SAFETY FOR CONSUMERS. I PRAY THAT OLDSMOBILE STEPS UP AND ADMITS THEY MADE DEFAULTED CARS WHEN IT CAME TO THE OLDSMOBILE ALERO, AND WHILE MANY OF US HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY PAID THE CARS PAYMENTS OFF, THE LEASE THEY COULD DO IS OFFER A $10,000 REBATE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR. HECK PERHAPS I SHOULD CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OF EACH STATE AND MY OWN ATTORNEY FOR A POSSIBLE LAWSUIT.

THE SECURITY LIGHT ON MY DASH WILL COME ONE ABOUT 3 TO 5 TIMES PER MONTH. THIS RESULTS IN MY CAR NOT STARTING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALONE AND HAD TO PHONE FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME. WHEN THEY ARRIVED THE CAR STARTED. AFTER THIS, I REALIZED THE CAR WOULD START AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES. I WORK WITH ANOTHER ALERO OWNER AND SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO PAY A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SHE ALSO SAID THAT EVERY ALERO OWNER SHE KNOWS HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT VISITED A DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE COST, AND I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO IN JUNE OF 2002, SINCE THE PURCHASE I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE FIRST BEING BRAKES/ROTORS BEING REPLACED TWICE A YEAR, THEN MY HEAD GASKET WENT, TIRES WEAR TOO QUICKLY, AND NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, NO TRACTION LIGHT (WHICH DOES NOT WORK), CHANGE OIL LIGHT IS ON, AND NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WHEEL BEARINGS, AND CV JOINTS, THE CAR ACTUALLY MAKES GRINDING NOISES WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AND OFTEN SOUNDS AND FEELS AS IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE. I HAVE HAD ALL OF THESE REPAIRS DONE AND THE CAR WAS FINE FOR 1 WEEK AND NOW ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ARE BACK EXCEPT FOR THE HEAD GASKET. DID I MENTION I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED AS WELL, I FEEL THAT FOR THE PRICE I PAID AND THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME DIFFICULTY AS ME, WHEN I READ OTHERS PROBLEMS, I FEEL LIKE I AM READING ABOUT MY CAR. THIS WAS MY FIRST CAR I HAD EVER PURCHASED AND FEEL THAT MINE AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT RISK BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I AM ABOUT OUT OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO ANYONE WHO OWNS A OLDSMOBILE ALERO AND GIVE ME SOME ADVICE. THANK YOU. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SECURITY LIGHT ON THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. WHEN THE SECURITY LIGHT ILLUMINATES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE LIGHT GOES OFF IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO START. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ALERTED.

FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS MY OLDS ALERO HAS REFUSED TO START DUE TO A MALFUNCTION WITH THE BUILT IN SECURITY SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS ONE A WEEK AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR 15 MINUTES TO TRY AND START THE CAR AGAIN. THE DEALER WANTED A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I HAVE CHECKED FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY DOESN'T GM ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT FOR US. I GUESS THEY WANT US TO BUY A DEPENDABLE CAR FROM SOMEONE ELSE. *JB

I BOUGHT MY OLDS, ALERO USED IN JULY OF 2002 AND NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, IT STALLED ON ME ON THE INTERSTATE JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE MECHANIC SAID HE FIXED IT ONLY TO GET IT BACK AND STALL AGAIN AND AGAIN. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON IT TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THE MECHANIC DIDN'T KNOW AND DID NOT REFUND ME MY MONEY. MY LIGHTS ON THE DASH STAY ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRAC AND WATER AND OIL CHANGE LIGHT. MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER DOES NOT WORK AGAIN AND THE BUTTON YOU PUSH IN TO PUT THE STICK SHIFT IN REVERSE HAS FALLEN OFF. THE DASH UPHOLSTERY IS MESSED UP. THE RADIO NEVER CAME IN RIGHT. I BOUGHT A LEMON. JUST THE OTHER DAY MY CAR STALLED AGAIN ON THE BRIDGE AND I WAS ALMOST KILLED, MY 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MY 13 YEAR OLD NIECE WERE WITH ME AND THEY WERE CRYING SCARED , WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED. I FINALLY GOT IT TO START AND MADE IT TO MY HOUSE, MY CAR WAS MISSING AND MAKING A POPPING NOISE. I STARTED MY CAR AN HOUR LATER AND IT WAS FINE. I NEED SOME HELP. WHAT CAN I DO? PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK AT [email protected] OR CALL ME ON MY CELL#(225)802-0394. *JB

IGNITION/ANTI-THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM FAILS. CAR WON'T START. "SECURITY" LIGHT FLASHES RED WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE KEY. MUST WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR LIGHT TO GO OFF. ALSO, SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON AS I AM DRIVING AND REMAINS THAT WAY UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF. ON ONE OCCASION, CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH LIGHT ON. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN LAST YEAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER AND HAD THE ANTI-THEFT AND IGNITION SYSTEM REPLACED. IT COST MORE THAN $500.00. TODAY, EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. SAME EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN. *JB

RE: OLDSMOBILE ALERO 2000 THE SECURITY SYSTEM ENGAGES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN INOPERATIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TEN MINUTES. IF THE LIGHT ENGAGES WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLS. MECHANICS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS CAN NOT ADDRESS THE FAILURE. SECONDLY THE BLINKERS WORK AT TIMES;HOWEVER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MOTOR DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE BLINKERS RESPOND. *JB

FRONT TIRE AREA WAS MAKING LOTS OF NOISE. TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE TO CHECK IT OUT - THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE POWER STEERING PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BRAKES. I DID NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP TO CHECK THAT. HE HEARD THE NOISE AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE WHEEL BEARINGS. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE FOUND THAT IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SAID THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - THAT THEY USUALLY LAST OVER 100,000 MILES (I ONLY HAD AROUND 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR). THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING FAN SWITCH DOES NOT WORK ON THE FIRST TWO SPEEDS - ONLY ON THE MIDDLE AND HIGHER SPEEDS. I WORK WITH A MAN WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AS MY CAR. *NM

MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO HAS PROBLEMS STARTING DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE HAD 5 INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. I READ THE OWNERS MANUAL AND FOLLOWED ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED. THERE IS NO REASON FOR SUCH A FLAW, I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY VEHICLE.

ENGINE BLEW. ALL THE WARNINGS LIGHTS ARE ON ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FOR OUR SON AND AFTER HAVING IT FOR ABOUT A 18 MONTHS THE ENGINE BLEW. THE DEALER THAT FIXED IT SAID HE SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO THE WARNING LIGHT. MY SON CHANGED THE OIL ON TIME ALWAYS AND THE LIGHTS NEVER WENT OUT. TRIED TO GET THE LIGHTS OUT TO NO AVAIL. PAID 2800.00 TO HAVE USED ENGINE PUT IN BY THE DEALER AND THE DASH LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE HEAT/DEFROSTER ONLY WORK ON HIGH EVEN AFTER REPLACED ENGINE INSTALLED. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FOR A YOUNG MAN WITH HIS FIRST CAR.*AK

TODAY, 13 APR 05, WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE'S CAR TO AND FROM WORK, HER 2000 ALERO SHUT DOWN AT HIGH SPEEDS 65 TO 70 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD EACH TIME, BUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE HARD TO USE. ONE OF THESE TIMES ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE INTERMITTENT SIGNALS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND THESE ARE NOT WORKING NOW EITHER, I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK IN TO FIX.*AK
