My signal/hazards have failed on my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. A recall notice has been issued but apparently not for my car. My nearest service department, weber GM (63141), refuses to do any recall work due to the VIN not showing in their database. A call directly to GM seemed to resolve the issue, however the service department still will not comply and GM will not issue a recall notice for my automobile.

All four of my window regulators have failed within a period of 2 months, I have replaced 3 of the four, the left rear door still has not been replaced do to the cost of parts for this car, in adition, I have had to replace the front calipers, brake pads and rotors on this vehicle 2 times within a period of 1 year, just before the last time I replaced them, my rear calipers went out, they will engage, but will stay locked, only releasing after I drive for about 20 feet or so, I have also experienced problems with the security system activating itself and not allowing me to start the car for at least 10 minutes ( the time it takes the system to recycle itself). In adddition, my door pannels coverings are all coming separated accross the top of of them, again do to the cost, I have failed to replace them. Unfortunatly this happened before I knew that so many people where having problems with the Oldsmobile Alero, so I did not retain the old parts.

I have a 2000 olsmobile Alero. The turn signal only works about 89% of the time. The manufacturer has redesigned the switch that fixed the problem but will not recall the switch. This is a serious safety issue and is in my opinion due to manufacturer defect. I have heard several other complaints of similiar problems at a yahoo webpage for Oldsmobile owners. Please follow with this and test, I feel the manufacturer should recall the equipment and be fixed.

Turn signals on my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero suddenly stopped working. I believe this is a common problem and think that Oldsmobile should pay to fix the broken switch.

Consumer states while driving the turn signal switch will go out, leaving the vehicle without a turn signal, almost causing an accident. Dealer contacted, part is on a national back order. This is the second time switch needed replacing.
