2003 Oldsmobile Alero complaints

2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO STEERING WHEEL HAD A LOT OF PLAY. UPON INSPECTION MECHANIC DETERMINED A BROKEN MOUNT ON THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE BROKEN MOUNT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO A SHARP JOLT SUCH AS HITTING A CURB OR A POTHOLE. *JB

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2003 OLDS ALERO IS BUCKLING AND PEELING IN SEVERAL PLACES. I AM TRYING TO OBTAIN PROOF OF OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD. GM HAS BEEN OF NO ASSISTANCE TO ME. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CURB AND A FLOWER POT BEFORE IT WAS STOPPED BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS STUCK AND FULLY DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE FOR REPAIR. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL # 04V528000 WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONCERNING, THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ACCELERATOR PEDAL HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT OFFER A SECOND REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE.

AT ABOUT 43,000 MILES MY 2003 OLDS ALERO BEGAN EXPERIENCING GRINDING OR HUMMING NOISES FROM THE FRONT END THAT GOT LOUDER WITH ACCELERATION. AFTER INSPECTING THE FRONT BAKES AND DETERMINING THE BRAKES MAY NEED REPLACING I VISITED MY LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP. AFTER A TEST DRIVE I WAS TOLD THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY. THE ENTIRE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF NEARLY $300. *JB

AUTO STALLED OUT TWICE WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO YIELD, STOPPING COMPLETELY IN TRAFFIC AREAS SO THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED ASIDE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME, THE BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND THE CAR STARTED. THE ALTERNATOR WAS TESTED AT THAT TIME AND INDICATED EXCESS CURRENT FLOW. DURING THIS PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS INTERMITTENTLY, THE PARKED VEHICLE WOULD CRANK BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. EACH TIME, WITH NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND WOULD PERFORM FOR A DAY OR SO THEN REPEAT THE PROBLEM. INSPECTIONS INDICATED THAT THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE FINE AND THERE WERE NO OTHER INDICATORS OF CAUSE. FINALLY, WHEN BROUGHT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND THE PASS LOCK SECURITY SYSTEM WAS SHUTTING DOWN THE CAR BECAUSE IT DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY. THE CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AND NEW KEYS CREATED, BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE IGNITION MODULE HAS FAILED ALSO. *JB

AFTER BUYING MY 2003 ALERO, I NOTICED A LAG IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD THEM KEEP IT FOR 3 DAYS. NO PROBLEM FOUND, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. SO I LIVED WITH THIS PROBLEM. BUT NOW MY CAR IS RANDOMLY ACCELERATING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING IN PARK. IF YOU PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE RPMS JUMP UP TO ALMOST RED LINING. IN PARK THE RPMS GO UP TO 3.5-4.5 RPM, AND IN DRIVE IT IDLES AT AROUND 50 MPHS. WITHOUT EVEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR MY CAR DRIVES AT 50 MPH! AFTER MONTHS OF THIS OCCURRING I FOUND OUT THAT MY SPECIFIC CAR'S VIN WAS RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT REASON. I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL ME TO BRING IT IN. AFTER 1 1/2 HOURS OF WAITING THEY TELL ME THAT GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE RECALL FIX. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS ON THE PHONE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. I AM READING AND THIS IS HAPPENING TO TONS OF PEOPLE. HOW CAN THEY LEGALLY GET AWAY WITH THIS??? I NEED HELP. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WHO DRIVES HER 6 YR OLD DAUGHTER AROUND IN THIS DEATH TRAP. *JB

CAR SEEMED TO BE FINE..ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE.. TOOK IT TO A CLOSE SHOP AND HE SAID A SLEEVE WITHIN THE DRIVEN SPROCKET ASSEMBLY HAD SHIFTED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT INTERFERENCE FIT, BLOCKING THE OIL FEED HOLE FOR THE SECOND CLUTCH....HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING!ESTIMATE WAS 1500-2000!!!I HAVE A CAR THAT I STILL OWE 7000 FOR THAT I CAN DO NOTHING WITH!MAYBE GOD WILL SEND ME 2000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. *NM

2003 ALERO IGNITION SHORTED CAUSING CONSUMER NOT BE ABLE TO START VEHICLE, ALSO FOUND A LEAK IN INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. *TS THE PASSLOCK SENSOR IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER SHORTED AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE INTAKE GASKETS AND OIL DRIVE O-RING LEAKED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, ROCKER COVER GASKETS AND OIL PUMP DRIVESHAFT COVER SEAL. THE AIR BAG COVER WARPED. THE TOP OF THE DASH WAS WRINKLED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PAN WAS PEELING FROM IT'S BACKING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY AND TRANSFERRED ALL COMPONENTS. *NM

THE WINDOW FELL OUT OF MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE ENTIRE WINDOW ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAPPENED AS SOON AS MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE COMPANY THAT FIXED MY WINDOW HAD (3) OTHER OLDSMOBILE ALEROS AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A NEW CAR - IT COST ME $500 TO FIX-I CAN'T GO WITHOUT A WINDOW!!*JB

I OWN A 2003 OLDS ALERO. RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED, BOTH BACK WINDOWS FELL AND WONT' STAY UP. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY WANTED $620.00 TO REPAIR THEM. I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AND DECLINED REPAIR. I WAS THEN CHARGED $90. FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND THEY PUT TAPE ON THEM! NOW ALL THE CAR THIEVES CAN SEE THE TAPE OR THE WINDOW DOWN AND HELP THEMSELVES. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! I OWN 3 GM AUTOS AND HAVE A GM REWARDS CARD WITH REWARDS DISCOUNT TOWARDS MY NEXT PURCHASE THAT I WAS PLANNING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BUT AFTER THE POOR QUALITY AND POOR SERVICE PRACTICES, I FEEL TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I EXPECT GM TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE AUTOS FROM THEM UNTIL THEY DO. *JB

I EXPERIENCED IGNITION FAILURE RECENTLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, AND AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSIVE SYSTEM HAD FAILED. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE MECHANIC HAD REPLACED THIS VERY ITEM ON 6 OTHER VEHICLES EXACTLY THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MINE WITHIN THE PAST MONTH. (THAT SEEMS LIKE AN AWFUL LOT FOR ONE SHOP TO DO.) I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART INCLUDING LABOR WOULD BE $460!! THIS WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE, BUT MUCH LESS THAN THE DEALER WANTED (AS EXPECTED). I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, YET IT WAS NOT RECALLED.*JB

CAR SHARPLY PULLD TO LEFT AND THEN VEARED OFF ROAD AND STARTED FLIPPING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. HIGHWAY PATROL AND OTHER WITNESSES SAW CAR WHILE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND SAW TIEROD WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN, MENTIONING THAT THIS WAS WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHARPLY VEAR TO THE LEFT.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED DRIVER HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE RPM'S INCREASED WHEN BRAKING AT 37-40 MPH. *NM

DT: THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING FAILED. THERE WERE ONLY 37,811 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN IT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE OWNER NOTICED PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT AS SOON AS VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED VEHICLE WAS MAKING A NOISE, A HUMMING SOUND. OWNER HAD THE WHEEL BEARING REPLACED. GENERAL MOTORS DID REIMBURSE THE OWNER FOR THE REPAIRS. OWNER HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM AND HIS LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE OWNER WAS AWARE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.*AK

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO HOME FROM WORK ON JUNE 8, 2005 WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT STARTED ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. MY FOOT WAS NOT EVEN ON THE ACCELERATOR! THEN WHEN I TRIED TO STOP MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. I HAD TO THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM RUNNING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I PULLED OVER ONTO A SIDE ROAD AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THE ENGINE KEPT RACING. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF, I TRIED SWITCHING FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL TO PARK. NOTHING WORKED. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES MY CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WHEN I CALLED TO SEE IF THEY WERE FINISHED FIXING MY CAR I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG; SO MY BOSS AND I TOOK IT INTO OUR OWN HANDS. WE FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2003 OLDSMOBILE ALEROS WHERE IN HOT AMBIENT CONDITIONS (IT WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES THAT DAY) THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARM MAY STICK AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE BRACKET AND NOT RETURN TO THE ENGINE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE OPERATOR LIFTS HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE REPORT WE FOUND WITH ME TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT HE REFUSED TO HELP. HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER. HE ALSO COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I LEFT AND CALLED OLDSMOBILE DIRECTLY. THERE WERE JUST AS HELPFUL AS MILLER SUBARU DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD I COULD

I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS RECALL AT ALL. I WAS ON MY COMPUTER AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE INFORMATION. MY SON AND I ARE CO-OWNER OF THIS CAR, AND WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD ABOUT ANY RECALLS FOR THE CAR. I USE MY CAR TO TAKE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND I WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM FIX. PLEASE HELP ME

2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO SLID DOWN AN ICE COVERED HILL, STRUCK A TREE AND THE SEAT BELTS RELEASED.*MR THE REAR SEAT BELTS SECURED TWO CHILD SAFETY SEATS, 1 BOOSTER SEAT AND ONE CHILD SEAT, WHICH WERE THROWN ABOUT DURING THE ACCIDENT. BOTH CHILDREN SUSTAINED CONTUSIONS TO THE FOREHEAD. *NM

LAST SUMMER MY FAMILY AND I LOADED INTO MY 2003 OLDS ALERO GL FOR A TRIP. THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD CLICK BUT NOT LOCK IN PLACE. THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT SLID FORWARD WITH MY WIFE IN IT. I'VE BEEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THIS STILL HAPPENS. NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED I DON'T LET ANYONE SIT IN THAT SEAT OR I USE MY WIFE'S CAR WHEN CARRYING PASSENGERS TO AVOID THE REPAIR COSTS.*AK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL OFF TRACK AND AND BROKE THE MOUNTING BRACKET ON THE GLASS, THE REPAIR BILL WAS ALMOST $400. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO THE WINDOW HAS STARTED SQUEAKING AND RATTLING. I HAVE STOPPED USING IT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE REPAIRS. A WEEK AND A HALF BACK I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE IN MY FRONT SUSPENSION AND A WEEK AGO I HAD TO SPEND ALMOST $450 TO REPLACE MY BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS AND HAVE MY SUSPENSION INSPECTED. NOTHING WRONG WAS FOUND WITH THE SUSPENSION, BUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND MEINEKE 3 TIMES TOTAL OVER THE LAST YEAR COMPLAINING OF GRINDING AND REDUCED STOPPING POWER. BOTH TOLD ME THAT VISIBLY THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES AND I HAD 15-20,000 MILES OF WEAR LEFT, THAT WAS LESS THAN 6,000 MILES AGO. NEW ISSUE. 3 DAYS AGO MY WINDSHIELD WASHER STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I TRIED TO OPERATE THE WASHER FLUID SHOT OUT OF THE TOP OF THE RESEVOIR AND SOAKED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THROTTLE STICKING ON 2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO GL. *BF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DECELERATE. AS A RESULT THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER HAD CONTACTED THE DEALER PRIOR TOT HE ACCIDENT ABOUT THE THROTTLE STICKING. THE CONSUMER FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL FOR THROTTLE STICKING AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS. *NM

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SUCH AS THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS CAME ON PERIODICALLY, AND THE WINDOWS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, AND HAD ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO WAS NO HELP AT ALL. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE ELECRICAL WIRING WAS REPLACED BUT WHEN INSPECTED THE OLD WIRE WAS FOUND STILL IN THE VEHICLE. *TC

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 750 MILES. ATAINED SPEED OF 65MPH FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN ACTED AS IF IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, I MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 3RD GEAR AT 45MPH AND PROCEEDED TO NEXT SAFEST PLACE TO STOP. AFTER STOPPED I SHIFTED TO D AND THEN TOOK OFF AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I STOPPED AGAIN AND WAITED A FEW SECOND THEN TOOK OFF AND IT BEGAIN TO SHIFT NORMALLY AGAIN. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER, THEY DID A DIANOGSTIC TEST AND IT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. AT ABOUT 24,000 MILES I NOTICED A POOL OF ANTIFREEZE ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND EVIDENCE OF IT LEAKING ONTO MY FRONT RIGHT DRIVE SHAFT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY FILLED MY ANTIFREEZE LEVEL BACK UP AND DID A TEST AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A LEAK, THEY SAID IT MIGHT OF CAME OUT OF THE DRAIN HOLE WHERE IT WOULD NORMALLY LEAK WHEN THE BEARING IN THE WATER PUMP GOES OUT.... HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY MORE LEAKS, SOMETIMES SMELL BURNT ANTIFREEZE. ALSO AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS ON THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO WERE BECOMING WORE OFF, WHICH SEEMS WAY TOO EARLY FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.*AK

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON I-95 IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA, THE INSIDE OF HER STEERING WHEEL, FELL INTO HER LAP. LUCKILY THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD TO TAPE THE INSIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL BACK IN PLACE SO WE COULD RETURN HOME.*AK

2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO, I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR APPROXIMAYTELY 9 MONTHS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW HAS STOPPED WORKING. DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT WARRANTY IS OUT BACAUSE OF MILEAGE. I DRIVE ABOUT 700 MILES A WEEK FOR MY JOB, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I SIT AND PLAY WITH MY POWER WINDOW, WITH THE CAR BEING SO NEW, IT SHOULD STILL BE WORKING. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE COST TO REPAIR IT WOULD BE AROUND $300, MAYBE MORE. I FIND THIS TO BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE CAR. IS THERE NOT A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY ON SUCH PARTS OR IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE MOTORS IN THE DOORS FOR THE WINDOW?*AK

FRONT END SUSPENSION FAILED. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO BE SERVICED, BUT THEY WOULD NOT HELP HIM. HE CONTACTED OLDSMOBILE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY REFERRED HIM TO A RICHARDSON OLDSMOBILE DEALERSHIP. WHEN HE AGAIN TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO GET IT SERVICED, THEY DID NOT FIX IT BECAUSE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING BACK WINDOW MAD E A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. IT SEEMED LIKE THE WINDOW WAS NOT SECURE AND WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF.*AK

THE CONSOLE ARE NEXT TO GEARSHIFT GET EXTREMELY HOT WHEN LIGHT ARE ON.*AK

WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE ACCELEATOR HANGS UP ON MY OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE ENGIN REVS UP AND THE BRAKES BARLEY STOPS THE CAR. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT REVS UP AND WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT JUST TAKES OFF STILL REVVED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT PARTS. MECHANIC REPLACED THE ROTORS,BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. P

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WITHOUT WARNING BRAKE PEDAL DESCENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THIS CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO RUN INTO A TRAFFIC LIGHT POLE. EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE BECAME NECESSARY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE FOR STOPPING.*AK

THE VEHICLE DIES. WHILE CRUISING AT ANY SPEED, THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES & STEERING FAILED DUE TO THE ENGINE DYING. THERE IS NO SET PATTERN, IT MIGHT STALL 6 TIMES IN ONE DAY, THEN TWICE THE NEXT DAY. THEN GO 4 DAYS WITH NO OCURRENCE, THEN IT WILL STALL ONCE A DAY FOR 3 DAYS. THEN GO A WEEK WITH NO OCURRENCE, THEN STALL 4 TIMES A DAY FOR 5 DAYS, ETC., ETC. IN EVERY OCURRENCE, IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL START BACK UP. AT HIGH SPEEDS, IT IS EXTREMELY TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE REQUIRED 4 TIMES UNDER THE LEMON LAW PROCESS. THE DEALER CANNOT ASCERTAIN, NOR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED TO THE DEALER AT LEAST ONCE WHEN WE TOOK IT IN. I DOUBT THEY WILL ADMIT IT, HOWEVER, MY WIFE WAS WITNESS. THE CAR IS A 2003. EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT IT IN JULY 2003, IT WAS CONSIDERED A USED CAR. GM HAS DENIED OUR CLAIM SINCE THE LEMON LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO USED CARS. THE CAR HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY PARKED SINCE NOVEMBER 2003. WE WERE FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. THE DEALER WOULD NOT TRADE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A BADLUCK SITUATION FOR US. WE CANNOT AFFORD 2 CAR PAYMENTS / 2 INSURANCE PREMIUMS, NOR CAN WE AFFORD $300.00 PER HOUR TO SUE GM. I STOPPED MAKING PAYMENTS IN DECEMBER 2003. I HAVE KEPT THE FINANCE COMPANY ABREAST OF THE SITUATION. THEY HAVE NOT REPOSSED AS OF YET. THEY WANT ME TO TRY TO SELL IT. CAN YOU HELP ?*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH IN THE RAIN CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AND THEY LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AND HIT A LARGE ROCK HEAD ON. THE VEHICLE BOUNCED OFF THE ROCK AND HIT THE EMBANKMENT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER THREE TIMES. THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. CONSUMER STATED THAT BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED FROM WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL SETTING OFF A FUSE WHICH SHORTED OUT THE AIR BAG MODULE. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER. VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP MECHANIC, BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH VEHICLE WAS IN A HEAD ON ACCIDENT. BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

THE CONSOLE AREA NEXT TO THE GEAR SHIFT HAD BECOME HOT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. *JB SCC
