• Recall 2014284 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off-road or is subjected to some other jarring event. If this were to occur, engine power, power steering and power braking would be affected, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may also result in the airbags not deploying in a subsequent collision, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: for each key, dealers will install two key rings and modify the key ring opening shape. Note: until the correction is performed, all items should be removed from the key ring.

• Turn signal failures investigation # PE05055

  In december 2004, gm issued a special policy for my 1999-2000 alero, grand am and malibu vehicles not covered under recall 03v327. The policy covered turn signal/hazard flasher failure for a period of 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever occurred first) to provide a no cost replacement of the hazard switch. Gm sent letters to owners starting december 30, 2004.In january 2006, gm will update the special policy to include my 2002 alero, grand am and malibu vehicles not covered under recall 03v-327.The policy covers turn signal/hazard flasher failure for a period of 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever occurs first) to provide a no cost replacement of the hazard switch.Gm will send letters to owners starting late april 2006.The actions taken by the manufacturer is sufficient to resolve the issues raised by this investigation.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.

2002 olds alero,present mileage@5/17/20-187,037. Where do i start? Okay,the trunk has started to arbitrarily decide to pop open...Apparently during rain/thunderstorms...I wonder if this has anything to do with the door locks recently deciding to not lock the passenger side when using switch on dr,side door...And now since the trunk's been popping open for the last 3wks,the key fob won't open the trunk,and the button on interior door to the trunk won't work either,unless the car is running(and not all the time then,either) interior door locks won't respond to the interior switch anymore..What a pain in the a**....I'm keeping a bungee cord over the spoiler to the bumper to keep the trunk closed. Fyi~i keep the car on a trickle charge to the battery24/7 ,since i avoid driving the thing-the passlock bs seems to cause the battery to drain since it has to sit with the key on.Also carry a noco charger at all times in case i need a jump..The rust is unbelievable. Rear fenders are all but crumbled off.Have to fix dr,side window now~had to fix pass. Side 2yrs ago.Regulator afu,probably need new switch,window went off the track, getting good at taping them up discreetly.The aluminum rims cause slow leaks in tires,buy yourself an inflator..Massive power steering leak now,brake lines replaced twice..They're under the car exposed to where they get to rust away constantly~i live in north west ohio where it snows&rains alot,so i'm hosed. Once i mastered the passlock 2step i thought that it couldn't get any worse~but in reading all the other complaints& starting to have what may be a bcm issue,i'm not driving this thing if i don't have to! I paid my aaa dues and full coverage insurance.. Oh,yeah-had that"recall" a few yrs ago and all they did was monkey around with the keys,not the ignition! I've been told a 100 times i'll need a new ignition~anybody out there have $700??? *tr

"takata recall" i own a 2002 oldsmobile alero and my blinkers only work maybe 2 time a month when i use my turning signals in either direction i just hear a buzzing sound sometimes it is only in one direction and sometimes there is no sound and no blinker at all. Now my gas gauge says empty and i just put $30 of gas in it and once i ran out of gas and and was stuck on the hwy for 4 hours because my gas gauge said full tank b

Car often stalls starting. Easily cuts off when portable phone charger is in place or if radio is on after 5 minutes with discontinuing engine. Cut off at a stop sign recently without warning and would not restart until some time later. Has new battery less than 8 months old. Did the same things with old battery and was thought that it was the problem but continues with the same issues. Seems to have a short in the electrical system somewhere.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 oldsmobile alero. While exiting a parking lot, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and it was able to drive normally; however, the failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 203,000.

Takata recall- i bought this car last year and have had trouble with the ignition. When i try to turn the key i feel the ignition move. I also have a hard the keeping it started. When i'm driving with my seat belt on my no seat belt light flashes on and off as if it wasn't on.

My tensor pulley is going out and my safety sensors like anti lock, trac off and now service engine soon keep coming on had it in shop and found nothing wrong. Now its making loud noises.It happens when im stopped and moving

It just started after the security got lock and had to be over drive. When you drive you can feel the car idle bad when you have to stop for a light or stop sign or if you have to stop to turn and you get below 1 mga turns off. Yesterday it did this and turn off and all it would do is just turns but doesn't start. In the middle of the road. It sounds to me like it's not get fuel or air where it needs to be. You can drive the speed limit and watch the mga, i think, 1,2,3, ildel down a little. Started end of sept or no troubler

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 oldsmobile alero. The contact heard a whining noise when turning the steering wheel from right to left. The "service vehicle soon" indicator illuminated. The contact called a local dealer (jerry seiner chevrolet, 1530 s 500 w, salt lake city, ut 84115) and was informed that the original key was needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 141,111.
