Alero 6-cyl

I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. The car has been a continuous problem since I drove it off the lot. The suspension has failed, the fuel injector and alternator have been replaced, the electrical system malfunctions all the time, and problems continue to develop on an almost monthly basis. I contacted Oldsmobile and they could care less, referring me to the "dealer" who has been repairing this vehicle repeatedly. I see why Oldsmobile is going out of business. They're products are inferior, and border on dangerous. I'm just hoping this car does not malfunction seriously while I'm on the highway. The incident date below is the approximate most recent repair date. The dates of various incidents are too numerous to list.

Car stalls while driving-speed does not matter. Car will start up after sittiing for a minute but it can only be driven for a few more miles. The longer you let it sit after it stalls the farther you can drive it dowm the road. Taken to a GM service tech and after 2 days of test, stated nothing is wrong with the car. 20 miles after leaving the shop with car, it stalled. Took it to another mechanic and he found a tsb on the engine/propulsion system, #00-06-04-044, to replace the in-tank strainer (filter) and have not had a problem since. Had to pay a GMC srevice tech a lot of money to tell me nothing was wrong when a "shade tree mechanic" found the problem in less than an hour. Have seen this complaint many other times for this car and others ( 2000 cavalier, Malibu and 2000 Grand Am, sunfire) why is there no recall on this? would like some information please on this and what I can do about this GM service tech. My car is still under a extended warranty which I believe would have covered this problem I had.
