| Electronic Stability Control problems |
Driving on the highway, all of the warning lights came on, the fuel gauge dropped to empty, the rpm gauge dropped to zero, the thermostat needle rapidly flickered up and down then the car shut off. The vehicle won't start, the instrument gauges move by themselves with no key in the ignition and now the car has zero power. . This car has been doing this for the past 3 months.
Air coming into the intake manifold and my low trac light comes on every time I have to do a turnaround or back around in a slow position from a start posistion. So im not getting my gas mileages worth nor can I do a uturn in a fast acceleration. It will get slower thats dangerous if upcoming traffic starts to proceed making it liable for an accident. Im scared for my life. Im in California in los angeles.
Car often stalls starting. Easily cuts off when portable phone charger is in place or if radio is on after 5 minutes with discontinuing engine. Cut off at a stop sign recently without warning and would not restart until some time later. Has new battery less than 8 months old. Did the same things with old battery and was thought that it was the problem but continues with the same issues. Seems to have a short in the electrical system somewhere.
The car will turn over but wont start. It's not getting spark. Ran it to test codes. Came back as tps. Changed it and it all won't start. Was told possibly a recall on the ignition.
It just started after the security got lock and had to be over drive. When you drive you can feel the car idle bad when you have to stop for a light or stop sign or if you have to stop to turn and you get below 1 mga turns off. Yesterday it did this and turn off and all it would do is just turns but doesn't start. In the middle of the road. It sounds to me like it's not get fuel or air where it needs to be. You can drive the speed limit and watch the mga, I think, 1,2,3, ildel down a little. Started end of sept or no troubler.
I believe it's the security system or something to do with the ignition. I'm not able to start my, all the lights on dash board come on n ac kicks on but the car won't start. When it was the only lights on was the service engine soon, trac off, security light & tire pressure light.
My turning signals work, but when not in use the signal noise does a rapid beep, beep noise, even when I drive and sit idly.
While driving the vehicle it will sometimes just cut itself off with no warning. I put it in park and restart it with no problems but it just cuts itself off again without any warning what so ever. Luckily for me it has only done it when there has been light or no traffic or when I have been at a stop sign.
The car turns off while I am driving resulting in loss of all electrical and power components. No power brakes or steering. It does this all the time and I've taken it in and they can not find the problem.
The entire cluster system went out,$2200. 00 replacement,the entire dash is coming down with a cost of $1000. 00 dollars for replacement,valve cover gasket needs replaced with cost of $1200. 00 cost to consumer,the brakes have been reworked for 300. 00 dollars at a cost to consumer,actual mileage 43000- now problems started at 90,000 miles,the car constantly leaks in the auto when it rains,I feel as a consumer this vehicle should be recalled because I've had nothing but problems since the day of purchase,lost wages being stuck on the side of the road,pain and suffering because I only live on disability,and a part time job,and it took it all for repairs!!!!!.
When u shut your car off and try to restart won't start and security lights come on then u turn key off and on and wait 10 min to restart . General motors knows about problem. Has been seen by chevy dealer and hasn't been able to fix. This problems happens on regular bases.
When turning off car doesn't want to restart have to wait 10 min to start has problems with windows and lights took it to chevy dealership said they fixed but still has same problems.
I have a 2002 olds Alero that has alot of electric problems (or so I assume) the turn signal noise turns on while I'm driving and my signal isn't on. This happens daily and is hard to determine if my flasher is actually on or not. Also my car wont always start. My track control light, service engine & low tire pressure light are pretty much always on I've had everything checked out and nothing comes back as to why those lights turn on & off.
Trac off light and anti-lock light on, car jerks into drive, and while changing gears. Has to replace sensory, drive shafts, etc. Brakes don't work, car jerks after 3000 rpms, dangerous, and can cause crash.
This all started estimated in April 2010. When the security light comes on I know it will not start the next time I get in it. It could not start once or 3 times. It very scary sitting in my car with the key turned on for 10 minutes. Then I can turn it off and turn back on and it will start. I have had it looked at and he put a new fuel pump on it, then it did it again and the next time he firxed it by reseting the computer but it did last. I talked to other people and they say they have the same problem. The way I found out how to fix was I called a tow truck and he told me what to do. Have you had any compaints like this?.
