general problems of the 2001 Oldsmobile Alero

The car will shut off while driving/idling. There are no check engine lights. Took it to get the latest recall fixed that had to do with this and they just gave us new keys. It did not remedy the situation! now we are paying to fix it because it is still shutting off while driving.

While driving the vehicle the car shut off while ignition was on. No warning whatsoever.

Starter turns but will not start.

Security light comes on, when flashing car will not start.

Ran a diagnostics test at a parts store and came back about the "intake air temperature circuit high input. " I didn't think much about it, but the part is relatively cheap, I just don't know if I can replace that myself. But when I registered my vehicle it came back as a fail on the emissions test for the state due to this part. While looking it up and checking on line about this issue I saw several entries that it may also affect the warning lights for abs and braking systems. Those have been on as well for a long time. I have had the brakes replaced twice in the past 2 years. The second time was because they had given me defective brake pads the first time and they were worn out with in 3 months. But now I have to get the intake air temperature circuit replaced, and it sounds like it may be more wiring than the circuit itself, but I don't have time and ability to work through all the possibilities, nor the money to let a mechanic do it as well. If this is a known issue, then why isn't it being addressed by Oldsmobile (gm) either? they have a bulletin about it!.

This has happenend to me in my 2001 oldsmobil Alero over and over again for the past 4 years,and have had it at 4 or 5 different shops and nobody can fix it. But the car turns off on me in the middle of driving and then wont restart. But after I have it towed home it will start a day or two later. . Ive had the battery replaced, the starter, the fuel pump, the alltinater and have had it hooked up to the computer to see if any warning signals go off and nothing comes up. . Its happened on the highway on back roads and while sitting at a stop light. It is very dangerous and I think and hope that Oldsmobile will do something about it to help its costomers have a safer commute to and from their destination. . .

I have a 2001 old Alero 6 months ago my vehicle would not start I had it towed to a gm dealer which told me I needed a fuel pump so I had it fixed well a few weeks later car would start one day then nothing the next now it wont start at all it died while I was driving with my 4 children we were stuck for an hour in the cold I had it towed to my mechanic he says it the security system well it will cost almost 1000 dollars to fix so it will sit there until gm decides to do a recall I am not the first to complain and I know I wont be the last there should be something done as this is a safety issue.

01 Alero will turn over but not start. First incident was in 2006 replaced fuel pump and fuel filter. Some days it will start others it will not. It also has died while driving twice. Once on the highway and once in town. I was driving across the street with my son and the car died luckily I coasted out of the line of traffic. For the past week it has only started once out of multiple attempts to start it. It shows cam sensor, crank sensor, passlock, codes when diagnostics ran. Other sites have had same issue with nothing being a permanent solution to problem. Car needs to be recalled.

My girlfriend bought a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero from a dealer with a 30 day warranty. The cars antifreeze mixes with the oil (head gasket) . He never fixed this and dissapeared on us. This was in March 09. I was told that I might be able to contact gm and they might be able to fix this problem. I've read online that this car was recalled because of numerous problems. Please contact me kema, cornell thanks.

Engine turns over but wont start until cranked on for a minute or more. Hazard relay clicks repeatedly.
