Takata recall, since the car has a ignition problem and it is at the putnam GM burlingame till now they don't do any of recall even diagnose the car and they want me to remove it now or I have to pay to fix it different from the manufacture customer service says last Tuesday when I tow that car to their place after I tell to them the situation they said they taking care of it, now they change. I feel like because I have a older car and no value they don't think about the safety of the car and the damage could be made to others. I can't. drive that car not safe.I can't work without car please help. I'm not asking to fix the paint or wheel. Just check what they have to fix stopping of engine and hard to start cause by ignition and the airbag must work properly.

The contact owns a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. The contact noticed that the cover of the frontal passenger air bag was lifted on one of the corners approximately a half of an inch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The cover of the passenger side frontal air bag progressively started to lift even more. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the frontal passenger side air bag assembly was damaged and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 58,100.

I have a 2000 oldsmob ile Alero which was involved in an accident a little over 2 years ago. It was primarily a front end crash into another vehicle turning in front of me at about 35 mph. There was no airbag deployment, which led me to believe there may be a sensor or inflater problem. Both airbags on the other car deployed. I wonder if this happened on similar vehicles? the vehicle was repaired at a body shop, but nothing was done to determine if the restraint system was flawed.

Consumer request that 2000 Oldsmobile Alero's be recalled and inspected to ascertain that the air bag will not deploy. The air bag in the consumer's 2000 Oldsmobile Alero deployed for no reason while driving into a gas station at about 5 mph.

While parking my vehicle, I stopped the car and for no reason the air bags deployed. Attempted to go through GM and they advise the frame of my vehicle has been repaired. My vehicle has never been repaird as it was never in an accident.... GM refuses to pay for my vehicle.

While driving into a gas station in my 2000 Oldsmobile alera at about 2 to 6 miles an hour my air bags deployed. I hit nothing nor did I fall into a hole in the road. Since there was no reason for the bags to deploy I wrote Oldsmobile chairman of the board G robert wagoner, jr requesting assistance. His staff have stone walled my efforts to get assistance. I was sent to sullivan Oldsmobile for inspection. The inspection was at best useless. They did not put the vehicle on a lift to check the undercarriage yet they tell me the bags deployed because of this. They said they took digital pictures, but were unable to show them to me. I stopped on my way home at a local garage had them put it on a lift and check the sensors which were not damaged. Oldsmobile was still not interested so I took the car to another Oldsmobile dealer who also put it on a lift and told me they had no idea why the bags deployed. Oldsmobile in detroit continues to go back to sullivan's inspection ignoring the two inspections that showed no reason. Oldsmobile has denied me any compensation.
