1999 OLDSMOBILE ALERO Complaints

I HAVE A 1999 OLDSMOBILE ALERO AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BLINKERS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. BOTH DO NOT ALWAYS WORK AND I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED OUT BY MY DEALER. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, AND THERE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT CAUSED BY ME, BUT MUST BE SOME KIND OF MALFUNCTION. *AK

PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY'03. BAD VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MPH, TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED 4+ TIMES, BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARING/HUB KITS REPLACED IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, STILL OCCURS AND HAVE JUST GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO THE SHAKING. ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS: REPLACED PUMP AND "O" RING. POWER STEERING PUMP AND RETURN HOSE REPLACED. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL BACK UP(BELIEVE DEALERSHIP REPLACED PRIO TO PURCHASE). DRIVER SIDE MIRROR MOTOR HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY, DEALER(IN ROCHESTER) PUT ON RECEIPT OF LAST REPAIR THAT THEY REPLACED MOTOR, BUT DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE PART, BUT WAS ON ORDER. NEVER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL BACK WHEN OR IF PART CAME IN(DEALERSHIP IS OVER 300 MILES FROM MY HOME, PURCHASED CAR ON THE INTERNET).*JB

A SHORTAGE CONTINUOUSLY OCCURS WITHIN THE FUSE BOX, CAUSING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO MALFUNCTION. *AK

FUEL INJECTORS FAILED, CAR STARTED TO RUMBLE WHEN IDLE AND WOULD SPUTTER WHEN FOOT ON GAS. *BF THE FUEL INJECTOR #6 WAS STICKING AND THE SAME THING PROBLEM OCCURRED. *SC

1999 OLDSMOBILE ALERO (OUT OF WARRANTY) BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION "SLIPPING" OCCASIONALLY DURING THE SUMMER. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. WHILE DRIVING HOME LAST EVENING, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE "TRAC OFF" LIGHT AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO GO MORE THAN 30 MPH ON A 50 MPH HIGHWAY VERY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, BUT NOW I AM TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY "POSSIBLY BE BAD" OR IT "COULD BE SEVERAL OTHER THINGS." IN EITHER CASE, IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE FOUND THE ERROR BEFORE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT AND THOUGH IT WAS SLUGGISH FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT IT AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY LURCH FORWARD WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP, IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE SUMMER THAT IT BECAME A FREQUENT AS OPPOSED TO A RARE OCCURRENCE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION. OF NOTE ALSO IS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ONLY ROLLS DOWN ON OCCASION AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO BACK UP, THE FAN ONLY WORKS ON THE HIGHEST 2 SETTINGS AND THE ENTIRE WIPER BLADE ASSEMBLY (SOME SORT OF SENSOR) HAD TO BE REPLACED 1 MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK. AND, THE AIR CONDITIONER NO LONGER COOLS THE CAR AND I WAS TOLD I HAD A SLOW LEAK.*AK

THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION AND VEHICLE JUMPED INTO REVERSE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPIN AROUND IN A 360 MOTION. THE PASSENGER JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A DEAD STOP WHEN IT HIT A DITCH HEAD ON. *AK *SC

THE FRONT SEAT BELTS MALFUNCTIONED BECAUSE OF A FAILURE IN THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT WAS REELED ALL THE WAY OUT AND WOULDN'T RETRACT BACK INTO IT'S HOLSTER AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT INTERMITTENTLY RETRACTED. *JB

BOTH WINDOWS ON MY CAR HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. BEFORE FALLING INTO THE DOOR THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE A LOUD POP. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR HAS BURNED OUT TWICE. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AUTOMATICALLY PUT ITSELF IN REVERSE, ROLLED BACK HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALSO, THE IGNITION SWITCH. UPON PUTTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION THE CONSUMER HAS TO SPRAY IT WITH 40/40 WD BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.
