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.

Turn signals work when they want to. Hazards have same problem. I have been stopped for this problem. This started one month after purchasing a "certified pre-owned" Oldsmobile

Turn signals worked intermittently. Replaced the hazard warning switch. Received a notice of a recall on this defect, but when I contacted the manufacturer, I was told my VIN number was not covered under the recall.

My 2000 oldsmoblie Alero appears to have an electrical problem with its dashboard warning lights. There is already a recall on the "4-way" flashers, which I have already replaced at my cost. I just spent over $500 replacing several sensors because the warning lights kept coming on. It stands to reason that if one part of the electrical system in the dash area is faulty, then other parts may be as well. This problem has persisted for over a year.
