Six problems related to seats have been reported for the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The rear drivers side seat has come detached. It is possible to lift the seat up, and I can see no way to re-attach it. It seems unsafe in the event of an accident. Dt.
Vehicle has been taken in to the dealership 6 times due to the seat leaning to the right and the seat reclining while driving. Dealer has made one attempt to fix the problem but seems to still have the same problems. . . On going problem.
Front seat does not lock in position, front driver side bearing defective, driver power window malfunctions.
The passenger seat does not lock into place adequately. It rolls forward and backward anytime it is adjusted and must be manually locked into place after each adjustment to prevent rolling. The possible dangers included losing footing when stepping into the vehicle to sit down and the seat rolls back and rolling forward when braking into the front windshield.
Both front seats have a razor sharp edge under the front seats where the rear passengers put their feet. My daughter, while wearing sandels cut her foot on it. Leather shoes have been damaged also. The factory will not alow the dealer to deburr the edges. They say it would violate federal law. Material was glued on and fell off. The car in the showroom has the same problem. We are having no success with the factory in solving the problem.
