2000 Oldsmobile Alero complaints

THE GEAR SHIFT DOES NOT LOCK, AND IS EASY TO KNOCK OUT OF GEAR (DRIVE TO N+1+2+3 AND REVERSE TO N+1+2+3). THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR TURNS SO HOT U CAN FEEL IT THROUGH YOUR JEANS. I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFTER UNTIL IT POPS JUST TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION EVERYTIME I CUT MY CAR OFF. THE CAR WAS ON WITH KEY IN THE IGNITION (OF COURSE) WHILE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING ME OUT ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THERE IS ALSO A REAL SLIGHT KNOCKING IN THE FRONT AXLE. --- THE DETAILED STORY -- WHILE MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS WERE TRAVELING BACK DOWN TO COLUMBUS,GA. I WAS GOING ABOUT 70 MPH IN THE FAST LANE, AFTER CHECKING THE MIRRORS. AT THAT TIME I REACHED OVER TO GRAB THE MAP, WHILE BARELY TIPPING THE GEAR SHIFTER WITH MY FINGERTIPS. THE GEAR SHIFTER POPPED INTO NEUTRAL...(ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THEN ABOUT 10 SECONDS)... WHICH DROPPED THE CAR FROM 70 MPH TO 50-55 MPH, WHICH IN TURN MADE THE SUV THAT JUMPED INTO MY LANE BEHIND ME TO ACCELERATE WAS AWARE ENOUGH TO HIT HIS BRAKES AND THEN VERE OFF TO THE OTHER LANE...THANK GOD THAT THE ONLY THING I GOT FROM THE OTHER DRIVER WAS AN UPSET FACIAL EXPRESSION INSTEAD OF HIS FRONT BUMPER ON TOP OF MY KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT....WELL AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO AN DEALERSHIP IN VA BEACH, VA. FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS, ALL I WAS OFFERED WAS WRITTEN EXCUSES---BUT NOTHING WAS FIXED...SO I DECIDED TO CALL THE OLDSMOBILE COMPANY, AFTER THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY JUST REPEATED THE EXCUSES OF WHAT WAS THE WRITTEN EXCUSES THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME THE FIRS

THERE IS EXCESSIVE WEAR ON FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FIRST SET OF ROTORS AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. ON SECOND INCIDENT, CONSUMER WAS REQUIRED TO COVER PART OF COST SINCE COMPONENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER. REAR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE "TURNED DOWN" DUE TO WARPING FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. *AK THE DEALER STATES THAT REPAIRES WERE DONE WHENEVER THE CONSUMER BRINGS IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAD NEVER BEEN SOLVED. ALSO, THE ROTORS FAIL EVERY 4 MONTHS. *YH

BRAKES FAILED WITH NO WARNING. GOING DOWN HILL WHEN FRONT PADS GAVE OUT AND ASSEMBLY DUG INTO ROTORS. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF PADS, ROTORS AND MISCELLANEOUS COMPONENTS. DEALER (BURNE OLDS IN SCRANTON, PA) TOLD ME ALERO BRAKES WERE UNDER RECALL, BUT NOT MINE. I HAD TO PAY THE $400 FOR REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED GM TO COMPLAIN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY PROBLEM. IF THERE HAD BEEN A WARNING, I COULD HAVE HAD THEM SERVICED BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE AND RESULTANT DAMAGE (FRONT RIMS WERE SCORCHED FROM THE HEAT FROM THE FAILED BRAKES). I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR STOPPED AND TO SERVICE BEFORE BEING INVOLVED IN SEVERE ACCIDENT.*AK

BRAKE SYSTEM MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION IN BRAKES WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

CAR CONSISTENTLY WOBBLES WHILE DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED STRUTS, ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

MY REAR GLASS SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFOGGER.*AK

BRAKES WERE MAKING GRINDING SOUND. DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS. BUT, GRINDING SOUND STILL COMING FROM REAR BRAKES. ROTORS WERE GROOVED. DEALER STATED BRAKES WERE NORMAL. *AK

HORN HAS A VERY SMALL "SWEET SPOT" AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE IT IN AN EMERGENCY.*AK

EVERY 4000-6000 MILES ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN WET CONDITIONS BRAKING DISTANCE HAS INCREASED. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTIONED. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE SIX TIMES, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE OR CORRECT PROBLEM. *AK

BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS; BRAKES PULSATE, METAL TO METAL NOISE. ABS BRAKES/ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO GEAR, NO SHIFTING. *AK

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT, 3 WKS AFTER PURCHASE IS WHEN THE PWR STEERING WENT OUT AND I WAS 400 MILES FROM HOME W/O ASSISTANCE. CREFUSES TO RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS AND I FEEL THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

I AM BEING CHARGED FOR BRAKE REPLACEMENT AT 23,000 MILES BY A DEALER,SO I CALLED FOR ANOTHER OPINION. WHEN I CALLED TWO OTHER DEALERS AND OLDSMOBILE THEMSELVES (BRUCE) I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THIS IS COMMON WHY AM I PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE WARRANTY, THEY SAID BRAKES ARE CONSUMABLE AND IF THIS PROBLEM REOCCURS THEY WOULD COVER IT THAN BUT FOR NOW I MUST PAY TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED AND ROTORS REPAIRED $207.50. *AK

PREMATURE WEAR OF ROTORS RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS REPLACED ROTORS FOUR TIMES AND BRAKE FAILED PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

THERE IS AN EVAPORATION LEAK DUE TO DEFECTIVE FUEL HOSE WHICH WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES, AND FUEL NECK AND IT WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. DEFECT WAS CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON. ALSO SOLENOID WAS REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS SENT TO DEALER 7 TIMES, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE CAUSE. *AK

FOR THE THIRD TIME I AM HAVING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS RESURFACED BECAUSE THEY ARE WARPED. IF I BRAKE SHARPLY AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS OF 60MPH AND ABOVE I GET A VIOLENT SHAKING TRANSMITTED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL FROM THE WARPED ROTORS. I SENT OLDS AN E-MAIL ASKING IF THERE WERE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH SOFT (INSUFFICENTLY HARDENED) FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ON THE ALERO AND THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY REQUEST IN WRITING (VIA E-MAIL) THEY SUGGESTED I CALL THEIR 800 NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPEN A COMPLAINT, WHICH I DID. IT WASN'T UNTIL I SEARCHED YOUR DATABASE, SEEING A NUMBER OF SIMILAR BRAKE ROTOR PROBLEMS THAT I DECIDED TO SUBMIT A REPORT TO YOU. I NEVER TOOK THIS CAR TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED IT FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT ONLY BEGAN AFTER ABOUT 13,000 MILES (OUT OF WARRANTY). I BELEIVE THAT THERE IS A MATERIALS QUALITY PROBLEM HERE PROBABLY WITH THE ROTORS NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY HARDENED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AXLE FELL OFF AND CAR LEANED ALL WAY TO THE RIGHT, WHEEL AND AXLE CAME OFF, AND CONSUMER ENDED UP IN A FIELD. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH REAR AXLE FELL OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. DEALER COULD NOT FIND REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM TO HAPPEN. *AK

CONSUMER TOOK CAR INTO DEALER 4 TIMES FOR WATER LEAKING INTO VEHICLE. THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW WATER WAS GETTING INTO VEHICLE. WHENEVER IT RAINS OR SNOWS THE BACK AND FRONT RUGS, AND THE TRUNK GETS SOAKED, DEALER HAS ADJUSTED DOORS, REPLACED CRACKED SILL PLATES, REPLACED DOOR DEFLECTORS, REINSTALLED SEALER TO WATER DEFLECTORS, AND REPLACED DOOR WINDOW CHANNELS. *AK *SLC

WHILE DRIVING 35MPH, FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SNAPPED OFF VEHICLE, CAUSING DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT A BRIDGE. GM SAID IT WAS NOT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *AK *SLC

WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKES VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY DEALER THREE TIMES . PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE APPLYING BRAKE ON ICE AT VERY SLOW SPEED, ABS LIGHT CAME ON, AND TRACTION OFF LIGHT INDICATING SYSTEMS WERE DISENGAGED, TOOK TO DEALER WHO FOUND RIGHT REAR WHEEL HAD SET ITSELF TO ZERO IN THE MIDDLE OF SKID. *AK THE VEHICLE REQUIRED MACHINING THE ROTORS AT LESS THAN 2000 MILES DUE TO OXIDATION. *YH

SINCE NEW THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT BRAKES IN WET WEATHER. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, AND WHEN IT DOES VEHICLE IS HARD TO STOP. IT FEELS LIKE ABS IS ENGAGING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND PROBLEM, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS AND ON NORMAL BRAKING (NOT HARD BRAKING). WE HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE FEAR THAT IN AN EMERGENCY THE ABS WILL NOT WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. OUR ISSUE IS THAT THE DEALER CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T RAIN MUCH HERE SO IT'S HARD TO PREDICT. IT EVEN HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO THE DEALER BUT WILL NOT HAPPEN AFTER THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK

BOTH DOORS LEAK WHEN RAINING AND SOAK BACK CARPET, CONSUMER STATES IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A DELAY IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OF 2 SECONDS OR MORE. IMPACT WAS SO LITTLE THAT VEHICLE HAD DAMAGE. DEALER / MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER.*AK

THE DOME LIGHT FLICKERS AND SOMETIMES CUTS-OFF COMPLETELY. PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT CAR. ENGINE CUT-OFF WHEN I TURN-OFF AC. RUNS ROUGH, THEM TURNS-OFF COMPLETELY. SERVICE CANT FIND ANY REASON FOR THESE PROBLEMS. I WORRY ABOUT THIS CAR. ANOTHER "LEMON"?

THIS VEHICLE'S BRAKES ON FRONT HEAT UP TURN ROTOR'S BLUE AND WARP THEM....WE AS OF 10/2000 HAVE HAD 2 NEW SET'S OF ROTOR'S ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAD ONE SET RESURFACED AND TURNED BECAUSE THEY WE'RE WARPED.. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A CALL TO AREA SERV. REP FROM GM THE ROTOR'S ARE BLUE AGAIN..THIS IS 4 TIME'S IN LESS THAN 5 MONTH'S. WE ARE STILL BEING PLAYED WITH IT IS TIME FOR SOME HELP. OUR VEHICLE HAS SPENT MANY MANY TIME'S IN THE SHOP ALREADY WE FEEL IT'S A SAFTY ISSUE THEY PULSE AND ARE SPONGY, THERE'S VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 65 AND OVER IF YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKE'S. CONSTANTLY SAME COMPLAINT WITH NO SATISFACTION BUT THAT THEY CONTINUE TO BLAME THE PROBLEM'S ON US.

BY DESIGN THE HORN CAN ONLY BE ACTIVATED BY PRESSING THE TWO SMALL HORN SYMBOLS, THE REST OF THE STEERING SPACE IS INACTIVE. NLM

NO SUMMARY

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING - HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY, SIDE ROADS, ALL SPEEDS. NO WARNING. CAR MAY OR MAY NOT BE RESTARTABLE. CAR STALLED ON HIGHWAY DURING DEALER TEST DRIVE REQUIRED A TOW. ALSO ROTORS WARPED - STEERING WHEEL SHAKES DURING HIGH SPEED BREAKING

CAR VIBRATIES WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55MPH OR GREATER. DEALER SAYS IT'S ROAD NOISE WHEN RETURNED A 4TH TIME

PURCHASED THE CAR IN MAY. BRAND NEW WITH 7 MILES ON IT AT DATE OF PURCHASE. BRAKE ROTORS IN THE FRONT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 3000 MILES. THEY WERE WARPED/OUT OF SPECS WHICH CAUSED MY BRAKES NOT TO WORK PROPERLY. THEN AT 6200 MILES, THE ROTORS IN THE FRONT WERE REPLACED AGAIN. THEY WERE WARPED/OUT OF SPEC AND CAUSED MY BRAKES TO WORK IMPROPERLY. BOTH OF THE ROTORS IN THE FRONT ARE WARPED FROM BOTH TIMES. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS A REOCCURRENT PROBLEM WITH ALL ALERO OWNER BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE CARS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS ALONG THE SAME LINE. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE LEMON LAW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK

WARPED ROTORS CAUSED VIBRATION WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TURNED THE ROTORS INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM, SERVICE BULLITINF 00-05-23-002 STATED THAT THE ROTORS AND PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NEW COMPONENTS. NLM

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES BAD AND BRAKES ARE MAKING A SOUND EVEN WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT MOVED FORWARD WITHOUT THE BUTTON BEING PUSHED TO ACTIVATE IT. IT WOULD NOT STOP WHEN THE BUTTON WAS PUSHED TO REVERSED THE MOTION. IT STOPPED ONLY WHEN THE SEAT REACHED ITS FULL FORWARD POSITION. FORTUNATELY, I WAS PARKED AND COULD JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. HAD I BEEN IN MOTION, I COULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AS MY KNEES WOULD HAVE BEEN SMASHED INTO THE DASHBOARD AND MY ABDOMEN WOULD HAVE BEEN SMASHED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM GARAGE WHERE THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY ENDED UP DISCONNECTING THE POWER TO THE SEAT AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL THE FACTORY. *AK

CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART. THIS OCCURRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. 1ST OCCASION VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND WHILE AT THE DEALER IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER BUT WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. 2ND OCCURANCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER AND DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. AFTER VEHICLE DRIED OUT, IT STARTED. DEALER MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO CHECK THE VEHICLE 9/5/2000. 3RD OCCURANCE - 9/3/2000- UNABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. TOW TRUCK CONTACTED AND TOWED TO DEALER.

CONSUMER CUT HIS HAND ON A VERY SHARP CRIMPED EDGE OF THE DOOR TRIM, DEALER NEVER ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT OR ADVISE, SAID ALL ALERO'S ARE THE SAME. NLM

THE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS STARTING AT 65-70 MPH. THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME REPLACING WARPED ROTORS. THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT OLDSMOBILE ENGINEERING TO FIND A FIX. I HAVE HAD ALLOT OF NUISENCE PROBLEMS BUT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE WITH NO REAL FIX AVAILABLE.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES CONSUMER WILL FEEL A VIBRATION, AND WHEEL WILL SHIMMY AND RATTLE. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER AT 3,600 MILES FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS QUESTIONING THE BRAKES, AND WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT BRAKES HAD TO BE BROKEN IN . AT 10,000 MILES, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER, AND AT THAT TIME DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE JUST INFORMED THAT THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE NOT COMPATIBLE , AND BOTH PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.CONSUMER WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE HE FELT THAT HE SHOULD HAVEN BEEN NOTIFIIED ABOUT IT AND WHAT TO DO. *AK
