2002 Oldsmobile Alero

MY 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES IT TO NOT START. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT COMES UP WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS HAVING PARTS REPLACED BEFORE DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH AND REALIZING THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM. IF THE KEY IS PLACED IN THE "ON" POSITION FOR TEN MINUTES, THE SECURITY LIGHT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF AND THE CAR WILL START. SINCE GM IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS DEFECT, I WOULD LIKE TO PLACE A COMPLAINT. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WORK IN PUBLIC SERVICE, AND I USE MY VEHICLE TO VISIT CLIENTS ON A DAILY BASIS. IT IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT TO NEED TO WAIT TEN MINUTES IN MY CAR BEFORE IT WILL START, BUT IN MANY LOCATIONS, IT IS VERY UNSAFE. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO START, BUT WILL NEVER TURN OVER, NECESSITATING THE TEN MINUTE FIX. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR, BUT I HAVE READ THAT THE TIME BETWEEN INCIDENTS IS LIKELY TO BECOME SHORTER AND SHORTER. SINCE GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF ITS OWN ACCORD, I URGE YOU TO TAKE ACTION TO ENSURE THAT DRIVERS REMAIN SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE SECURITY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT THEN PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY. THE MECHANIC THEN ADVISED THAT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND A KEYLESS STARTER WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

I HAVE A 2002 OLDS ALERO THAT HAS ALOT OF ELECTRIC PROBLEMS (OR SO I ASSUME) THE TURN SIGNAL NOISE TURNS ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND MY SIGNAL ISN'T ON. THIS HAPPENS DAILY AND IS HARD TO DETERMINE IF MY FLASHER IS ACTUALLY ON OR NOT. ALSO MY CAR WONT ALWAYS START. MY TRACK CONTROL LIGHT, SERVICE ENGINE & LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ARE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS ON I'VE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING COMES BACK AS TO WHY THOSE LIGHTS TURN ON & OFF. *TR

I HAVE 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO AN EVERYONE I KNOW WHO HAS ONE HAS HAD SAME PROB . THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON AN IT WILL NOT START MINE IT CAME ON A WONT RESET OR GO OFF AN MADE MY CAR DIE IN A BAD NEIGHBOR HOOD WHEN MY WIFE N BABY WHERE ON WAY HOME A NITE AND ALSO SHUT DOWN IT THE MIDDLE ROAD ON MY WIFE WITH OUR BABY IN THERE AN SHE ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. I THINK GM NEED TO FIX THIS . THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 45-50 MPH MERGING INTO ANOTHER LANE WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH BOTH TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS. THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR FUNCTIONED WHENEVER ENGAGING THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL BULBS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE THE TECHNICIAN TESTED THE COMPLETE SIGNAL INDICATOR SYSTEM FUSE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

TIRES- I HAVE HAD MY 2002 OLDS-ALERO FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW,I HAVE REPLACE AND REPAIRED THE TIRES ABOUT AS MUCH TIME AS I OWNED IT LITERALLY!!!!!!!! I AM TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY ON TIRES I HAVE REPLACE SENSORS AND EVERYTHING THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND I SHOULD NOTTT HAVE TO KEEP COMING OUT OF POCKET WITH MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM I NOW KNOW IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, AFTER LEARNING AND READING ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS IM HAVING WITH MY CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING AIR IN MY TIRE, FEARING A BLOWOUT ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH I USED TOO TRAVEL TO WORK EVERY DAY CAN SOMEONE REFER ME TO ASSISTANCE?? *TR

SPEEED SENSOR REPESTLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IF THIS NOT VITAL TO THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND IS ONLY A F EATURE THAT IS REASSURING THE DRIVER. THREE KIGHTS GO ON, CHIMES RING, AND IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING IS CHANGING HOW THE CAR DRIVES- HARD. THERE IS CAABIN NOISE RESULTING FROM THE APPARENTLY CHANGE IN SHIFTING. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IN FOUR YEARS THAT SPEED SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED IS IT NOT THE SPEED SENSORS, AND ANOTHER PART= LIKE ELECTRICAL AND THE CODES ARE THE SAME? ARE THE SENSORS THEMSELVES FAULTY?
