2000 olds Alero stalls after car warms up @ 15 min after driving. Stalled on highway many times (road hazard) but started after it cooled down a little. Now once it warms up stalls and won't stay running. Replaced the ignition control module and has not corrected the problem. Had to have it towed 2x.

A. . The rear window defroster quit working. Replaced fuses, relay but still did not work. Having done some internet research found out that a rear connector will melt. Looked at the rear connector and it had melted. Dealer charges $ 45 for a new connector so I hot wired it to the module. If they melt they should have been recalled. B. The security light will come on and within a few days the car will be locked down. If you sit for 10 minutes with the ignition on but not started the security will reset. Luckily for me, this has not caused me any $, but I am sure others have had to pay for towing. One should be able to disconnect this option.

2002 Oldsmobile Alero gl customer requesting reimbursement for ignition repair. The ignition passlock cylinder and module were replaced four times.

I bought my 2002 olds Alero in may of 2006 and have had problems ever since. I had to have the front left wheel bearing replaced 2 days after I bought the car. The dealership paid for the parts and labor that time, but I was on my own from there. Frequently I was having the problem of the engine turning over, but not starting. I had to call a tow truck 6 times in 2 months. The fuel pump was replaced and a week later I had the same problem. This time it the body module was replaced. 2 days later I was calling the tow truck again. The ignition switch was replaced this time. The next time I threatened to sue the mechanic who had worked on my car. This time the car started right up for the mechanic. He contacted gm to see what the problem could possibly be and of course they had never heard of this problem. After the car was towed to the shop a few more times the mechanic finally got a hold of another mechanic who specialized in gm repairs. That mechanic told him about the faulty security system. He passed on the info to me. If the car won't start, turn the key on for 10 min. Until the security light stops flashing, turn the key off, take it out of the ignition and try it again. This has worked every time for me, but really, who has the extra 10-15 minutes to spare every time they need to go somewhere, just in case their car won't start? I also have problems with the turning signals working only when they want to. This seems to be a common problem among Alero owners. After the nightmares I've had with this car and the disrespect shown by gm to their "valued customers", I will never buy another gm model as long as I live! buyer beware!!!.

Car will not start.

I started having problems in Feb. Of this year(2005). The car would not start. Towed it to a dealer and they replaced the ignition cylinder. 3 days later was having the same problem. Took it back to the dealer and they then replaced the housing. Begining of June had the same problem occure agian. Towed it back to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong with it. Of course it started at the dealer. 2 weeks later and it still will not start agian. The security light was comming on before it stoped running. This is a problem that many people are having and it needs to be fixed. . Read more...
