general problems of the 2002 Oldsmobile Alero

It just started after the security got lock and had to be over drive. When you drive you can feel the car idle bad when you have to stop for a light or stop sign or if you have to stop to turn and you get below 1 mga turns off. Yesterday it did this and turn off and all it would do is just turns but doesn't start. In the middle of the road. It sounds to me like it's not get fuel or air where it needs to be. You can drive the speed limit and watch the mga, I think, 1,2,3, ildel down a little. Started end of sept or no troubler.

Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact also stated that smoke was coming from the front end under the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 147. Ss.

I attempted to start my car to head home on an hour drive. It would not start, no cranking of any kind or power to the starter or starter solenoid. Attempted to start the vehicle again about a half hour later as I waited for my ride to arrive and still nothing. All of the lights worked, everything else worked but the car simply would not start. After reading every other complaint and review this issue is concurrent with the theft issue that many other owners have suffered.

Car cut off while driving, would not start, security light flashing, took to shop cost 800. 00 for new fuel pump, then a month later same deal come to find out it's the ignition switch having to due with the security, sometimes the car will not start sometimes it cuts off while driving. They need to recall this its very dangerous not to mention the 800. 00 spent for a fuel pump I guess I didn't need. You can reset it. Works only temp. Leave the key in the on position until the security light goes out thdn go straight to start, most the time this works. It is very dangerous for the car to shut off at 60 mph on the highway which has happen to us.

I was on my way to work on 3/13/11 driving my 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, and my car started filling up with black smoke. I immediately pulled over and got out of my car, I suddenly saw flames inside of my vehicle . I called the fire department and by the time they put out the fire my car was totaled.

I attempted to start my 2002 Oldsmobile Alero and it won't start. It was as if the fuel was shut-off. I had to have my car towed home. I noticed the security light was flashing. I checked on-line and people suggested, turning the key to the start position and leaving for 10 minutes, apparently this allows the computer to reset. (or you can disconnect the battery and reconnect it, this will also reset the computer. ) there is a problem with the passlock system. It's a huge problem for many people. Gm does not acknowledge this problem and is unwilling to correct the defect. This defect should be recalled.

Car will not start . . . . Sometimes after it has been driven it will not start back sometimes it will take around 30mins to start back other times longer, the length of time it has been driven when it does this varies sometimes its very short distance others it is a little longer. The car turns over but will not start. It does not do this all the time but you never know when it will do this. We have had the fuel pump changed recently and the battery is fine.

I've only had my car since Nov 07 for the past 4mos my trac off, trac low, service engine, and change oil lights come on and stays on I've took car to mechanic and they cant seem to find anything wrong but when I m driving my car act like it going to cut off or it'll like slow down a lil bit and then catch speed. This happens on the highway its very scary.

Timing chain broke at 60k miles. Destroyed valves. Also ignition switch broke at 45k miles.
