general problems of the 2004 Oldsmobile Alero

Airbag no deployment loss of power steering brakes to floor car died recall ignored prior and still today after set up now off their schedule friendly Chevrolet rich gardner.

Recently started financing a vehicle through car hop. They had me sign a form saying that there was a possibility of a recall on the vehicle, but didn't specify what. Reading it over now the form states they will not be responsible to correct this recall. Recall number is 14v400.

My granddaugher to be ran into the back of another can going only about 25 mph. The airbags came out but did not deflate. They had a cut in them. She did not get hurt but if she had been going faster or if I had been driving and had a wreck it could have caused major damage. She was on a side street.

My son was driving down a road when the engine stopped running. He had no breaks or power steering causing him to leave the roadway and crash into a fence. The crash didn't deploy the airbag, but caused sever damage to the car, resulting in it being totaled. It was towed to a junk yard where it was sold as scrap. Fortunately my son was only slightly injured, and did not require medical attention. I contacted gm after receiving their recall notice in September, 2014. I spoke with a representative there asking just for the replacement cost of the car since the recall notice described exactly what happened when the car crashed. The representative declined the claim stating they could not inspect the car. The claim # is 71-1364722158. I feel this is unfair as at the time of the crash we were not aware of this recall notice and felt no obligation at the time to report it to gm. I also have a copy of the police report, and can forward that to you if needed.

The contact owns a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero. The contact stated that the air bag housing failed, exposing the air bag. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage and VIN was not available.

While driving slowing over some railroad tracks the air bags deployed.
