2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO Complaints

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?

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
