1 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2011

As I'm reading different websites and now this site to find a solution as to what's wrong with my car, I see I share the same problem with a lot of other people. . . I too have a 2004 Alero that will crank but not turn over. . . The security light comes on and stays on. . . When I first noticed it I would turn my car off then back on and it will go off. . . Lately it will come on and stay on, now it won't start! in the morning I will try what everyone else tried with turning the key until the light goes off, but this is really ashame that this many people are having the same problem! I replaced the fuel pump a year in a half ago for this same problem and it was no way cheap! try $1,200 at a gm dealership that only use gm parts on their gm cars! I'm a broke college student that needs my vehicle for transportation between school and work! please just recall these cars so they can have this problem taken care of. . . Should I take my problem to the media to get some sort of results? it seems if that's the only way to get anything done now a days. . .

2 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2007

I bought it in Dec. 2004,the last 2-one black and one white,I took the black sitting on the lot of freeman olds, irving TX. I started having trouble in2006 I have all of my paperwork. Brakes went out, powertrain went out. Then I started smelling gas in themorning when I cranked it. And still do to this morning,it is awful. Last year it died right in the middle of the road. Would not start,I even had the plano TX. Police try to boot it for me. Battery I thought. Huffines had it towed in and it started right up for them,but it was my fault they could not reproduce it. So they gave it back,I go to the bank, miles from home and it does it again. They tow it back and again the same thing. I go again at my house and the same thing,this is bs at this point contact gm for the lousiness of this car, [xxx] was the first, angel, and now lashawnda. They tell me the fuel pump,ok,they replaced it, I had to cash in my grandchildrens life ins to pay for it,and am still paying back the loan a year later. I am on disability,and don't have any money. So I take it in for inspection,he comes out with a list of about $800. 00 worth of stuff to fix before it will pass. [xxx] said they would waive the diag fee, I took it yesterday, he gave me another$1,000 worth of stuff to fix:fuel pressure regulator,leaking gas,egr valve,thermostat and cool flush. Not including the 800,$2,000,to get it all done. I have copies of the recalls on it. Several transmission leaks with in months of buying it. After the fuel pump that wasn't even the problem,all it was ,the relay switch. They did not even try that. I asked them to either fix this problem and call it even,or give me back my money. She said no they fixed that other problem for nothing so be grateful is what she meant. After paying $24,000 for nothing??? the orig price 24,000 but with some dis it was 14,000? but with interest it was 24,never contacted me. [xxx] stopped doing any gm.
