And the car completely turn off, I turned ignition switch to turn car back on it was very scary moment. I didn't know what to do. But I wish I can afford to fix the car problems that has caused me a lot of misery financially emotionally feel safe with gm sealing front window properly on Alero I wouldn't have these problems in the first place! so not properly sealing and wiring diagram needs to be examined in my opinion all I want is to feel safe in any gm motors models not just me but others too . I wish someone would help me as much I help others in my car n my daily life to get by not much to ask to feel safe! the car was not sealed right in first place. This is what caused my problems owning this car. I need either help with car to get fix pthe right way. Or I need a new car I have a disabled mother and grandpa that depend on me and I need a reliable car to provide daily tasks appointments the list goes on.
