One problem related to rear suspension coil springs has been reported for the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On October 1, 2005, noticed the low tire pressure warning light came on. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic shop, and they noticed that the left rear coil spring broke, but did not puncture the tire. The local mechanic recommended that the struts be replaced along with the coil springs. The consumer contacted the manufacturer and they said based on the low mileage, they were surprised that this happened to the vehicle. They tried to contact a local dealer, but since the consumer did not have a history with a local dealer they were able to assist her in the cost of the repair. (11/09/05).
