Alero 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles
I have a 2000 Alero and it fails to start every once in a while. The problem seems to be coming from the ignition fuse but even after changing the fuse it would still not start. I as well as my mechanic are baffled. The latest was last weekend but it has happened about 6 times. The weather has nothing to do with it as well as the amount of driving done or not done. It seems to be a random occurrence.
