2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO Complaints

THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH H FAILED, CAUSING THE TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION. RECALL 03V327000 WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RCALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

POWER WINDOW FOR DRIVER WOULD NOT GO UP IN 9/03 DURING A RAIN STORM. AFTER THE RAIN STOPPED, I TOOK APART DOOR AND PUSHED WINDOW UP. WINDOW SINCE WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THEN DURING 6/04, THE FRONT PASSENGER, AND LEFT REAR-PASSENGER POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT GO DOWN EITHER. LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL LOWER SEVERAL INCHES AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE PARKED. NO ONE TOUCHES THE POWER WINDOW SWITCHES IN THE CAR SINCE I DON'T WANT A WINDOW TO GO DOWN AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK UP.*AK

NHTSA CAMPAIGN #03V327000 IS A RECALL THAT WAS ENACTED FOR CARS OF THE EXACT YEAR, MAKE, MODEL OF MY CAR. HOWEVER, OLDSMOBILE SAYS THAT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECAL DUE TO WHATEVER REASON. MY CAR HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE HAZARD FLASHERS IDENTICAL TO THOSE LISTED IN THIS CAMPAIGN. IT IS EVIDENT THAT MY AUTOMOBILE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT WAS OVERLOOKED IN WHATEVER STUDY WAS PERFOMED. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE AUTOS LIKE MINE THAT ARE AFFECTED AND ARE SAFETY RISKS, BUT OVERLOOKED IN THIS CAMPAIGN. FEEL FREE TO CALL ME.*AK

REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS TO VEHICLE FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.*MR THE CONSUMER STATED THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND SUBSEQUENTLY OTHER PARTS ON THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPALCED DUE TO THE COIL SPRING FAILURE. *JB

THIS CAR HAS HAD THREE SETS OF BRAKES PUT ON IT AND NOW AT 45780 MILES IS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER SET. I KNOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER WELL AND KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ESPECIALLY. THE BRAKES ARE EITHER OF SUBSTANDARD DESIGN OR USED INFERIOR QUALITY MATERIALS IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE ROTORS ARE JUNK. THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT SAFE IN A SUDDEN EMERGENCY STOPPING SITUATION.

HAZARD FLASHER BUTTON CAME APART FROM WHATEVER FASTENS IT AND NOW THE HAZARD FLASHERS ARE INOPERABLE. TURN SIGNALS WORK MOST OF THE TIME BUT SOMETIMES DO NOT FLASH OR FLASH SO QUICKLY THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WHEN SET ON INTERMITTENT CYCLE, DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. GRINDING NOISE STARTS, AND WINDOW MOVEMENT IS INTERRUPTED OF BOTH SIDES OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. *AK

THE TURN SIGNALS WORK "SOMETIMES", I WAS TOLD IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HAZARD SWITCH BUT THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I HAVE HAD SIX (6) WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. A VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS HISTORY WITH TURN SIGNALS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND YOUR DEPARTMENT SHOULD GET MORE INVOLVED. THE INCIDENT DATE IS JUST THE LATEST TIME THE WINDOW HAS GONE OUT. *JB
