OLDSMOBILE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY KEY. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE IGNITION REPLACED AND A NEW FACTORY KEY FOR THE RECALL REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROACHING A TURN, THE VEHICLE GOES DEAD AND COMPLETELY BLACKS OUT. THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING PERFECTLY PRIOR TO ALL ELECTRICAL CURRENT BEGIN CUT FROM THE CAR, THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD ELECTRONIC IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS CUTTING ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY WITH OUT A RUNNING ENGINE, THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING ARE GONE TOO. I HAVE TO ASSUME SINCE THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD ALSO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. *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

ON 1/15/2013, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO FIRESTONE, 302 W. MICHIGAN AVE, JACKSON MI. 49201. (517-782-0361) THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER, AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM, AS WELL AS HAVING TO RECODE THE IGNITION CYLINDER. MILEAGE WAS 124,550. MY BILL WAS $435.95. AS THERE WAS NOT A RECALL OUT AT THAT TIME, I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR A FAULTY PART MANUFACTURED BY GM/OLDSMOBILE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE PARTY APPROXIMATELY 4-5 YEARS AGO, UNBEKNOWNST OF THE 2000 RECALL FOR IGNITION ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH 3 OCCASIONS MOST CURRENTLY TODAY 3/24/2015. I PRESUME THERE IS A STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON THIS ISSUE. I AM CURIOUS DO I STILL HAVE ANY RE-COURSE IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RESOLVED OR MUST I OUT OF POCKET RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS I CANNOT CONTINUE TO REPLACE THESE IGNITION SWITCHES. *TR

2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED IGNITION KEY ROTATION RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO KEY AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALL PERFORMED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THEY NEEDED THE TWO ORIGINAL KEYS. THE CONSUMER STATED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEYS; DUPLICATES WERE MADE BY THE DEALER AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *JB
