After having recall of ign. Key preformed, the key became hard to turn on, catching and having to wiggle to start the engine. Vehicle has stalled while driving 3 times, loosing power breaks and steering, coast to stop, and vehicle starts again. Feel this is directly connected and caused by the faulty key and ignition system, appears the faulty key has caused the tumbler to wear-out, and any jarring of the key and or dash results in ignition to shut off. I have contacted gm and they refuse to address the problem, saying this recall would not cause the system to fail. . Saying because of the high mileage on the vehicle, it is not there fault. And I must pay for the repair. . But I pray to differ, if the defective key and ign. Unit were not at fault, then the key/tumbler would not have worn-out.

I have a 2001 olds Alero I bought for my daughter. It has a problem with starting and stalling. Based on my research it appears to be a problem with the passkey security system. I have had the car towed multiple times, had it in the shop multiple times without resolution. It appears to be a common problem with gm cars of this era. There is no service notice available from gm on how to fix this problem. The car will just stop sometimes when my daughter is driving and I fear it could lead to a crash or injury.

Since Feb. My car has been in for repairs 4 times. I bought the car used in sept. 05 and almost immediately noticed there was a problem when the window would not roll down and the temp. Gauge went on hot (and the car was not). I took it in to the dealer and they of course found nothing wrong since the computer they use to diagnose problems wasn't registering anything. Not quite a month had passed when I started to have difficulty starting the car, a few days later the car stalled while driving in a. M. Traffic on the fwy. It was taken to the dealer again, they stated it was cpc computer had to be reprogrammed and the igniter had to be replaced. On the way home after picking up the car, it stalled again, and would not restart. Again the next day it was taken in and the ignition switch was replaced. A few weeks pass and the same problems start to occur, this time when it was there, nothing could be found. This is a potentially a very dangerous problem, this time again driving on the fwy. The car stalled, I made it to the shoulder of the road, the car again as usual would not restart, next time this happens I may not be as lucky. My car is at the dealer currently and they cannot seem to find out what is wrong. In reading other numerous complaints this obviously is a problem. Who is responsible? does someone have to killed before GMC does something about this?.

My 2001 Oldsmobile Alero has been intermittently stalling since April 2006. I have had my car diagnosed by 3 mechanics all of which can find nothing wrong via their diagnostic machines. Before taking it to gm. Gm hooked the car up to their diagnostics machine and drove it for 20 miles overnight and said they could not find the problem. This is very dangerous because I do not know when the car is going to stall. Unfortunately I am unable to drive the car on the highway for these reasons, it could stall and I could be killed by someone going fast and running into the back of me. I only drive the car locally in the city in which I live.

The vehicle dies. While cruising at any speed, the hydraulic brakes & steering failed due to the engine dying. There is no set pattern, it might stall 6 times in one day, then twice the next day. Then go 4 days with no ocurrence, then it will stall once a day for 3 days. Then go a week with no ocurrence, then stall 4 times a day for 5 days, etc. , etc. In every ocurrence, it takes approximately 10 minutes before it will start back up. At high speeds, it is extremely too dangerous to drive. We've taken it to the dealer, under extended warranty, the required 4 times under the lemon law process. The dealer cannot ascertain, nor fix the problem. It happened to the dealer at least once when we took it in. I doubt they will admit it, however, my wife was witness. The car is a 2003. Even though I bought it in July 2003, it was considered a used car. Gm has denied our claim since the lemon law does not apply to used cars. The car has been permanently parked since November 2003. We were forced to buy another car. The dealer would not trade. This has resulted in a badluck situation for us. We cannot afford 2 car payments / 2 insurance premiums, nor can we afford $300. 00 per hour to sue gm. I stopped making payments in December 2003. I have kept the finance company abreast of the situation. They have not repossed as of yet. They want me to try to sell it. Can you help ?.

This complaint is in regards to problems my wife and I are having with our Oldsmobile Alero. We initially used the better business bureaus's autoline arbitration process and although the arbitrator said that the car qualified for the ohio lemon law, he thought that there may have been a misunderstanding between us and the dealer. What a joke. If you listen to the audio tape of the hearing it is obvious that general motors was aware of the problem. The following is part of the initial letter that was sent to the better business bureau since you have a restriction set on how much info can be supplied here. Please note that the car is paid for.
