general problems of the 2003 Oldsmobile Alero

While driving on a city road at approximately 40 mph, the car randomly began accelerating on its own. I immediately pushed on the brake pedal only to discover the car continued to accelerate. I stomped on the brake as hard as possible to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I moved the gear shift to neutral to try to keep the car from accelerating but that did nothing. I was barely able to turn off onto a side street where I was able to shut of the engine and make the car stop before hitting other vehicles. The car's engine revved up so high that it sounded as if it were going to blow up the engine. Now there is oil leaking severely under the car after this incident.

Car has been having acceleration issues her and there has had a fuel leak for awhile now and now all of a sudden the car will not start. .

I was driving on the interstate and the car jumped up ito 6 and 7 rpms in the red got stuck even when pedal was not pressed stayed there I the red for a few seconds with no warning lights finally dropped and started knocking.

The contact owns a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero. While driving various speeds, the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The failure occurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 138,000.

I noticed an issue but thought it was all in my head because I had been pulled over for speeding on the way home from work because the car accelerated by without my foot on the pedal. . . Although I was pulled over already to investigate why the car accelerated yet I still received a ticket . Wasn't too sure what happened on 11/4 at about 3:10pm I was involved in a motor vehicle accident turning the corner , the pedal stuck or wouldn't stop not too sure but I lost all control of vehicle trying to avoid a car on the right I swerved and hit the car on the left thus destroying my car and the other car in the process.

After buying my 2003 Alero, I noticed a lag in the ignition system. I took it into the dealership under warranty and had them keep it for 3 days. No problem found, they could not duplicate it. So I lived with this problem. But now my car is randomly accelerating while I am driving it down the road or sitting in park. If you put the car in neutral the rpms jump up to almost red lining. In park the rpms go up to 3. 5-4. 5 rpm, and in drive it idles at around 50 mphs. Without even hitting the accelerator my car drives at 50 mph! after months of this occurring I found out that my specific car's VIN was recalled for this exact reason. I contact the dealership, they tell me to bring it in. After 1 1/2 hours of waiting they tell me that gm refuses to pay for the recall fix. I have spent countless hours on the phone and no one will help me. I am reading and this is happening to tons of people. How can they legally get away with this??? I need help. I am a single mother who drives her 6 yr old daughter around in this death trap.
