problem #3

Alero

  • 136,000 miles
2004 Oldsmobile Alero ongoing problems with turn signals and hazards inoperable most of the time. Most electrical components fail at times. Window regulator failed. Rear door locks have to play with remote locks before door opens acts as though child safety locks are on can not open door from in or out. Eventually after pushing on remote lock it opens. Brakes always grinding even after replacements. Engine has also, ticked not knock just ticking since I've purchased the car. Many times the car does not start first try after second it starts but all electrical has to reset example radio, clock ect.

: the contact stated the brakes grind and squeak at any speed. The dealership determined this was due to dirt roads and replaced the hubs, rotors, and brakes. These repairs have been made twice, and need replacing again. Updated 4/11/2006 -
