Oldsmobile Alero 2001 — Problemas reportados

The car will shut off while driving/idling. There are no check engine lights. Took it to get the latest recall fixed that had to do with this and they just gave us new keys. It did not remedy the situation! Now we are paying to fix it because it is still shutting off while driving.

The contact owns a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V400000 (Electrical System) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The consumer stated the vehicle was junked 3 or 4 yrs ago because of the computer going out on the vehicle.

While driving the vehicle the car shut off while ignition was on. No warning whatsoever

Car shut off while driving

Electrical ground wire to Alternator burnt out; caused battery to lose charged replaced twice within 2 years.

FOR SOME TIME THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT SEEMED LIKE I HAD MORE TROUBLE WITH THEM IF IT WAS VERY HOT AND HUMID OUTSIDE. THEN, THE TURN SIGNALS TRIGGERED THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO COME ON. THE TURN SIGNALS ARE NOW INOPERABLE. SOMETIMES THE HAZARD LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN THEM OFF.THE TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TURN SIGNALS ARE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE NOW.

AIR COMING INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND MY LOW TRAC LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DO A TURNAROUND OR BACK AROUND IN A SLOW POSITION FROM A START POSISTION. SO IM NOT GETTING MY GAS MILEAGES WORTH NOR CAN I DO A UTURN IN A FAST ACCELERATION. IT WILL GET SLOWER THATS DANGEROUS IF UPCOMING TRAFFIC STARTS TO PROCEED MAKING IT LIABLE FOR AN ACCIDENT. IM SCARED FOR MY LIFE. IM IN CALIFORNIA IN LOS ANGELES.

STARTER TURNS BUT WILL NOT START

2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE IGNITION COIL RECALL NOTICE STATES SAME PROBLEM AS CONSUMER BRAKE AND STEERING FAILURE ACCIDENT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPY PATCH IN THE ROAD THE IGNITION WAS INADVERTENTLY SWITCHED OUT OF THE "RUN" POSITION RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.*JS

JUST GOT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALER AND THERE IS A GAS LEAK ALSO THE KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION WITH THE CAR ON ACCELERATION I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN AND WIGGLE IT TO GET IT OFF AND THERE'S A O-RING SENSOR LEAK CAN'T PASS THE ECHECK. I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE AUGUST AND THE ESTIMATE TO GET THE CAR FIXED TO PASS THE CHECK IS OVER THE AMOUNT FOR THE CAR AND I AM STILL PAYING A NOTE WHEN THE CAR IS STATION IS LEAKING GAS WHEN IT IS MOTION IT BARELY LEAKS WHEN I PARK IT, IT POURS OUT

I WAS AT THE GRO. STORE CAME OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START 1/2 TANK OF GAS HAD SOME ONE TO TRY A JUMP START TO NO AVAIL. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED WENT TO WORK SAME THING IT TRIES TO START BUT WILL NOT AND THAT IS WHERE I AM NOW. WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR HELP. AS MANY OTHER AMERICANS I DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY AS A SINGLE MOM. I JUST NEED A ANSWER THANKS

SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN FLASHING CAR WILL NOT START.

TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENT AND SAFETY FLASHERS INOPERATIVE AT SAME TIME. DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, ETC., HAPPENS APPROX. 5 MINUTES AFTER BEING USED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL STATION AND THEY COULDN'T REPAIR IT DUE TO INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AT FIRST. TOOK TO DIFFERENT SERVICE REPAIR AND THEY KNEW IMMEDIATELY OF THE RECALL AND SAID IT NEEDED A 4 WAY FLASHER SWITCH ASSEMBLY, AND TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WHEN I DID, THEY DECLINED IT..!! RECALL: NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V400000. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, PROSTROLLO AUTO MALL, MADISON, SD..I HAD THIS PROBLEM...IT CAME WITH THE CAR, SHOULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE SALE..?

I BELIEVE IT'S THE SECURITY SYSTEM OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION. I'M NOT ABLE TO START MY, ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD COME ON N AC KICKS ON BUT THE CAR WON'T START. WHEN IT WAS THE ONLY LIGHTS ON WAS THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, TRAC OFF, SECURITY LIGHT & TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT.

I RECENTLY HAD MY 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO KEY IGNITION FAIL ME. I HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THE KEYS. ALL THEY DID WAS PUT A PLASTIC KEY COVER ON MY KEYS. I GOT STRANDED DUE TO MY "NEW" KEYS NOT ALLOWING MY KEY IGNITION TO TURN OVER AT ALL. I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS THAT GM WON'T FIX THE IGNITION PROBLEM JUST DRILLS A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE KEY TO MAKE IT SEEM LIGHTER IN WEIGHT AND THEN JUST COVERS THE ORIGINAL KEY WITH PLASTIC. I CAN'T AFFORD THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENING. I WAS STRANDED FOR SEVERAL HOURS DUE TO THIS. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WITH CHILDREN?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE TURN SIGNALS ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I SEE THAT THERE HAS SINCE BEEN A RECALL. HOWEVER, MY VIN DOESN'T FALL INTO THEIR CRITERIA, BUT THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE. THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I HAVE A YOUNG TEENAGER DRIVING THAT CANNOT BE WITHOUT THE USE OF TURN SIGNALS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 03V327000. I INDICATED THE DATE THIS OCCURRED AS THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TO MY DAUGHTER. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNERS.

WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS GM RECALL 03043 FOR 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO MODELS, BUT ARE TOLD OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHY? WE HAVE A 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. TURN SIGNALS ARE INTERMITTENTLY INOPERATIVE. DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS. IF YOU MESS WITH THE HAZARDS, TURNING ON AND OFF, YOU MAYBE MIGHT GET YOUR TURN SIGNALS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL IS DIRECTLY ABOUT, BUT WHEN OUR VIN IS ENTERED INTO RECALL DATA BASE, IT SAYS NO RECALLS FOR THIS VIN. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO US. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS. PLEASE ADVISE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BACKING VEHICLE FROM PARKING SPOT, WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, THERE WAS A CLUNK. UPON DRIVING AWAY AND APPLYING BRAKES NORMALLY, BRAKING ACTION WAS NOTICEABLY LESS. AFTER A CLOSER INSPECTION, FOUND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BRAKE PAD MATERIAL HAD CORRODED CAUSING SEPARATION FROM ITS BACKING PLATE. THESE PADS ARE AFTER MARKET PADS FROM ADVANCED AUTO, HAD ONLY BEEN ON THE CAR FOR ABOUT 12,000 MILES, AND APPROXIMATELY 23 MONTHS. THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE PAD REMAINING, BUT CORROSION HAD SET IN, CAUSING THE PAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE BACKING PLATE. THE ROTORS ARE APPROX 5 YEARS OLD, AND "CORRODED" BEYOND WHAT I CALL BEING SAFE TO USE. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE WEAR TO THE ROTORS, ONLY SEVERE CORROSION IN THE COOLING AREAS. AFTER MARKETS PARTS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MEET DURABILITY REQUIREMENTS, NOT JUST PHYSICAL FIT AND OPERATION. *TR

SIGNAL TURN DON'T WORK, WORK ON AND OFF CAUSING HAZARD. *TR

I NOTICED DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY 2014 THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO . I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND MY MOM WAS RIDING WITH ME WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WAS NOT WORKING LEFT OR RIGHT. SO WE MADE IT TO OUR DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND WHEN WE WERE LEAVING THEY WORKING . IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE BY CHANGING THE BULBS THE TURN SIGNALS ARE STILL GOING IN AND OUT WHEN THEY WANT TOO. AND WE NOTICED LIGHT FLUID LEAKAGE BUT IT WAS NOT LEAKING IN NOVEMBER WHEN I BROUGHT MY VERY OWN FIRST CAR FOR CASH AND I HAD THE OIL CHANGED SO I TOOK IT BACK TO JIFFY LUBES AND THE TECH COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, THIS WEEK JANUARY 21, 2014 MY STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING THIS STRANGE WHISTLING NOISE WHEN I MAKE A TURN, AND MY SECURITY LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. SO I DECIDED TO CHECK THE SAFETY GM RECALL LISTING FOR HELP. *TR

AFTER HAVING RECALL OF IGN. KEY PERFORMED, THE KEY BECAME HARD TO TURN ON, CATCHING AND HAVING TO WIGGLE TO START THE ENGINE. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES, LOOSING POWER BREAKS AND STEERING, COAST TO STOP, AND VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN. FEEL THIS IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED AND CAUSED BY THE FAULTY KEY AND IGNITION SYSTEM, APPEARS THE FAULTY KEY HAS CAUSED THE TUMBLER TO WEAR-OUT, AND ANY JARRING OF THE KEY AND OR DASH RESULTS IN IGNITION TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, SAYING THIS RECALL WOULD NOT CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO FAIL.. SAYING BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE, IT IS NOT THERE FAULT. AND I MUST PAY FOR THE REPAIR.. BUT I PRAY TO DIFFER, IF THE DEFECTIVE KEY AND IGN. UNIT WERE NOT AT FAULT, THEN THE KEY/TUMBLER WOULD NOT HAVE WORN-OUT. *TR
