2000 ALERO GLS WITH THE 3.4 L V-6 HAD TO HAVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE AND COOLANT LEAKING. THE CAR HAD 38,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE.

TURN SIGNALS DID NOT WORK WHEN MAKING A TURN. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE OTHER DRIVERS AWARE THAT SHE WAS GOING TO TURN. DEALER CHANGED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. A SECOND DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THIS MODEL VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN.

MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE POWER STEERING. MY POWER STEERING IS LEAKING ENOUGH FLUID THAT I HAVE TO ADD FLUID ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE TAKEN MY 2000 ALERO INTO THE SHOP AND FOUND THAT IT IS THE RACK AND PINION. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ONLY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR USED. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A PERSON TO PURCHASE THIS TYPE OF CAR AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE NOT JUST ME. *JB
