2002 Oldsmobile Alero

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

Defect. CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, P/NOS. FP10020-11B1, FP10026-11B1, AND FP10027-11B1, SOLD AFTER JANUARY 9, 2007, AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT FOR VARIOUS PASSENGER VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. THE UNIVERSAL PRESSURE REGULATORS (UPR) WERE PRODUCED WITHOUT AN O'RING AND RETAINER.

Risk. FUEL MAY LEAK, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DELPHI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE UPR FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 23, 2007. OWNERS CAN CONTACT DELPHI AT 877-411-8770.

2002 oldsmobile alero was driving on interstate and very low on fuel when i exited the interstate at the street light it turned green and as i was accelerating my car stalled out and since then ive pur 2 gallons of fuel in it and now it cranks but wont start up and now it back fires when trying to start it and my security light is off and I'm getting fuel pressure in the front rail and I got spark and yea my fuel pump is humming.

1. Security turns on while driving, making the vehicle to spin but not drive normally on road or highway when driving 2. Horn malfunctioning, stops working when security turns on while driving 3. Seatbelt warning and airbag light flashing when security turns on while driving, seatbelt becomes locked preventing driver from being able to move to check blind spots or rear while driving 4. Emergency lights become disabled when security lights turn on Key ignition was inspected and fixed according to recall. The above are things that have been noticed by new driver/owner. Only drive when necessary to avoid traffic accidents. Do not have money to pay a dealership or GM to check problems. These problems occurred since day 1 after purchasing the vehicle.

Kept cutting off won't stay crunk long ignition is jammed loud screeching noises from the springs alternator might be the reason electrical issues fuel pump I had to leave my car at a friend's place I'm not working due to the COVID pandemic not able to afford repairs I really need my transportation someone referred me to this site

IT JUST STARTED AFTER THE SECURITY GOT LOCK AND HAD TO BE OVER DRIVE.

I HAVE A 2002 OLDSMOBILE ALERO WHICH THROUGHOUT THE YEARS HAS NOT STARTED WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN. NUMEROUS TIMES I'VE HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC ONLY TO HAVE IT START ONCE IT GETS DROPPED OFF... HENCE THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2015 AGAIN MY CAR JUST DIDN'T START. LIGHTS, BLINKERS,HORN ALL WORKED BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. FINALLY HAD A MECHANIC COME TO MY HOUSE AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH READ SECURITY SYSTEM LOCKDOWN. I WENT ONLINE AND THIS APPARENTLY IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINT ARE LISTED WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. OLDSMOBILE REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN ON A FIXED INCOME. TO FIX THIS ISSUE MY MECHANIC WANTS $650.00. I FEEL BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED REPEATEDLY WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OLDSMOBILE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REIMBURSE ME.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE CAR JUST CUT OFF ON ME WITH NO WARNING. I HAD TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN WHILE OTHER CARS WHERE TRYING TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME FROM BEHIND . FINALLY GOT THE CAR OFF OF THE MAIN STREET AND ONTO A SIDE STREET, UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TOWED . AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED AND IT NOT BEING ABLE TO RESTART A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WENT OUT ON THE CAR SO NOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR AND NO WAY TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE AS I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS ON MOST OLDER GM MODELS. *TR

TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LIGHTS FAILURE. IT STARTED WITH THE TURN SIGNALS, THEY WOULD WORK SOMETIMES AND THEN EVENTUALLY CUT OUT COMPLETELY. HAZARDS WORKED FOR A SHORT TIME AFTER TURN SIGNALS WENT OUT, THEN BOTH CUT OUT COMPLETELY. FLASHER WAS REPLACED AND FUSES WERE TESTED AND WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. *TR

THESE CARS ARE NIGHTMARES. I REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET (EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE, WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE), THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR BROKE OFF THE ENGINE AND LEAKED ALL OF OIL OUT, REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH A CONSTANTLY DEFECTIVE SECURITY SYSTEM (PASSLOCK DEFECT CAUSES A NO START, EXTREMELY COMMON AND WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE), AND NOW THE CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT FIRE (ALSO EXTREMELY COMMON, BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, THE ONLINE RESOURCES CAN ONLY PROVIDE ONE OF A HUNDRED DIFFERENT PLACES TO START ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE). A NO START SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A MECHANIC TO THROW A FULL BATTERY OF TESTS AT THE CAR. THERE IS NO WAY THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEGAL TO SELL, IT IS A MONEY PIT AND A HAZARD TO ANYBODY AROUND THEM. SYSTEMS ARE CONSTANTLY FAILING, THE CAR ALLOWS WATER TO REACH THE FUSE PANELS AND CORRODE THEM, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR FAILURE OF CRUCIAL DRIVING/SAFETY SYSTEMS. THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING IF THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS AT OR ABOVE 80 DEGREES. AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THIS IN ROUGHLY A YEARS TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (~70K). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG, I HAD DEFROSTER ON, REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER STARTED SMOKING, MELTED THE REAR WINDOW TRIM AND REAR PASSENGER PANEL. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURN OFF ENGINE. CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT, TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC, FOUND THAT THE DEFROSTER MODULE WENT BAD. THE DEFROSTER MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS FOR REAR WINDOW WAS REPLACED. LOTS OF SMOKE DAMAGE TO INTERIOR OF CAR. *TR

JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A BAD SCRUBBING NOISE, AND I HAD NO TURN SIGNAL AT ALL I NOTICED A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHT .DURING THE CLICKING SOUND THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD WORK AT TIMES AND I WOULD SMELL SOMETHING LIKE A BURNING SMELL. WHILE THE CAR WAS PARK AND NO ONE AROUND IT THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON INSIDE AND OUT BY THEIR SELF AND THIS CAUSES MY BATTERY TO GO DEAD AND I HAVE TO BOOST IT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CAR DEALER THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND HATEFUL AND TOLD ME IT WAS MY PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THAT THEY SOLD IT TO ME AT A GOOD DEAL AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. *TR

I RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FROM GM FOR "UNINTENDED KEY ROTATION". I HAD PREVIOUSLY CONTACTED GM INDICATING ISSUES WITH IGNITION SWITCH; GM THEN ISSUED "UNINTENDED KEY ROTATION" LETTER. I HAD THE RECALL WORK PERFORMED, YET ISSUE CONTINUED. I CONTACTED GM; I WAS INFORMED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AS VEHICLE WAS "OUTSIDE OF PARAMETERS OF 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES", "WHICHEVER COMES FIRST". MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 WITH APPROX. 95,675 MILES. I WAS INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP "SUSPECTED" ISSUE WAS "WORN OUT IGNITION SWITCH". DEALERSHIP DID NOT PERFORM MECHANICAL DIAGNOSTICS, ONLY VOICED "SUSPECTED". NHTSA INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE TO DETERMINE IF THESE 2002 VEHICLES CONTAIN THE SAME GM IGNITION PART NUMBERS,IF SO, OUR VEHICLES MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. GM DESCRIBED IN THEIR RECALL WHAT THE MECHANICAL ISSUES ARE IN THIS IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, MY CAR HAS THOSE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS; YET GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL LETTER FOR "IGNITION SWITCH" CITING THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED BECAUSE NHTSA SET PARAMETERS OF "10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST." TO MEET THE CRITERIA THAT GM MUST ISSUE RECALL LETTERS FOR IGNITION SWITCH. IF THE DEFECTIVE PART IS THE SAME ON THESE MAKE MODELS AND CUSTOMERS ARE DOCUMENTING THEY HAVE THIS MECHANICAL ISSUE, THEY MUST BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND WE MUST NOT BE HELD AT A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND BE LEFT WITH DRIVING KNOWN UNSAFE VEHICLES.
