Turn Signal problems of the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero

I have recently purchased a 99 Oldsmobile Alero. There is a problem with the turn signals/hazard button which started out with a loud buzzing while the turn signals were activated. I could sometimes get the buzzing to stop by pushing the hazard button at the same time as the turn signal. Now it's at the point where my signals don't even work 95% of the time. I'll start my car and the first time I use them they might work, but as soon as I turn the wheel they stop working and do not work for the rest of the trip. The hazards have stopped working as well. I have been told that my VIN number is not covered. Online research has pulled up NHTSA action number : rq04005 which states that gm will issue a special policy for 1999-2000 Alero since it's not covered under recall 03v327. However, further searches have found that rq04005 expired in February 2010. The defect acknowledged in recall 03v327 is exactly the same as the issue acknowledged in NHTSA action# rq04005, so why is there an allowed expiration date for the remedy of the problem?.

The contact owns a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. While driving the turn signals and hazard warning lights were inoperable. The dealer repaired the components. The manufacturer stated that they had a "special policy" for the failure, but would not take any liability for the failure due to the age of the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were under 47,000.

I am ashamed to say I own a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. I bought it last years as a back-up car, so we would have transportation should one of our newer vehicle have problems. I gave $2000 for it and have spent just as much on repairs. The turn signals only work intermittently though every fuse in it has been replaced. The anti-lock break light on the dash stays on. The front passenger strut broke and blew out the tire in the process. I was fortunate I wasn't killed when this happened. And now the heater blower has started making an awful noise, so it will likely need to be replaced soon. In addition the change oil light stays on, I have had it to numerous shops and no one can determine why it won't reset. The warning lights on the dash from all of this are a considerable distraction as well as all the problems they point to. I am appalled that in the USA we put a stamp of approval on such a horrible vehicle. In my opinion the entire vehicle should be recalled and replaced with one that runs properly. It is absurd and dangerous. I am fortunate I was not going a high speed when either strut broke. . . Oh nearly forgot to mention that the rear driver-side strut also broke just this week. My biggest question is, who's name do I give to my lawyer when I am forced to drive this vehicle and someone is hurt? it is likely, given the hazards that come with this car that eventually something bad will happen. I just pray I won't have to drive it much.

The car signal light works intermittently. Sometimes when I turn the signals on they come on. Then sometimes when I turn them on they do nothing. They don't come on at all.

The contact owns a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. The contact stated that the turn signals worked intermittently. The failure occurred 80 percent of the time. The failure mileage was 70,000 and current mileage was 90,000.

On the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero the turning signal works occasionally. I contact gm to report this. I was told that I would be sent a form to fill out for recall and I have never received. This raises a problems driving and is not a safe way to drive. I have had my fuses' changed and the turning signals still doesn't work all the time.

Both windows on my car have fallen into the door. Before falling into the door there was a grinding noise and the a loud pop.

My 1999 Oldsmobile Alero two door has been having problems with the emergency flashers and turn indicators. Often times when the lever is engaged the blinkers will make a click sound as they do when they are working and fail to continue blinking. The solution I have found is to push the emergency flasher button on the dashboard. This is sometimes effective in getting the blinkers to begin working again. However, when it doesn't solve the problem, I am unable to properly signal for turns. This has on several occasions caused problems for me at stop signs and uncontrolled intersections. In addition, the wiring (not sure if it's related) for the windows has caused my windows to not work. I'm sure you can understand that if I am unable to roll down my windows, and my blinkers don't work, then there is virtually no way to signal my turns and lane changes properly. The blinkers fuse has never blown. The emergency flashers and blinkers are obviously related from the sound and fact that they seem to cause the other to fail or begin to work. I have done a small amount of research and found there was a recall for the 2000 year of my car. Obviously, that doesn't help my situation. Please contact me so we can find a solution that is less costly than the collision that is imminent from these failures.

Turn signals worked intermittently. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, and consumer was told that there was a recall. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.

Intermittently turn signal/hazard lights, and high beam light failed to function. On some occasions there was a slight pop before the warning lights failed. Dealership indicated that the hazard switch had to be replaced.

Turn signals and hazard lamps are intermittently inoperable.

While driving turn signals worked intermittently.

The turn signals fail at least 3 to 4 times a day while driving and sometimes stop as im sitting and waiting to make a turn . Emergency flashers do the same thing ,they work when they want to . Have had some close calls on getting hit doing lane changes because of this problem .

Turn signals intermittently failed. Dealer replaced the hazard warning switch. Consumer experience the same failure as stated in recall for model years 2000-2003 but his vehicle is a 1999. Oldsmobile wouldn't acknowledge nor reimburse for repairs. Old part available.

Turn signals intermittently failed during operation. Authorized dealer identified faulty hazard switch as root case and replaced at my expense.

My 1999 Oldsmobile Alero has had a major problem with 1. Manifold gaskets leaking. 2. All of the windows failing by falling off the tracks or the regulator itself failing. Three times for the drivers side window! 3. The turn signals have stopped working correctly, clicking constantly. 4. The gas gauge stopped working 5. The interior leather curled up on the dash, which I notice on many other Alero's I've seen.
