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.

1g3nl52e74c168452: after a day of light driving after being stationary for about an hour and a half in colorado springs CO (cool weather) upon starting the vehicle the temp needle went from cool to almost overheated in the under 30 mins it took to go from one store parking lot to the next nearby one. The vehicle became fully overheated & sparks / 1' flames emerged from the sides of the front hood. Upon being shut off the flames receded, after approx 30mins sitting the hood was lifted & fluids checked (all were at appropriate levels). The vehicle was started again & ran idle for 20 mins & the sparks / flames reappeared again so the vehicle was shut down & a ride called. Upon being picked up the next day the vehicle ran fine again for the most part with only slight overheating - it was taken for an engine wash / under hood at an appropriate facility to remove any flammable / combustible residue. Had to be driven at speeds under 50mph to return home without further problems.

Key will not turn to turn the car on. After many multiple times turning the key it may engage and start my car. The problem with trying to start the car is continuing to get worse. It now takes several minutes of trying to get it to start. There has been a recall but has not been sent out yet. The dealer can't fix it because they have not been notified and have no parts. I am stranded. Cost to fix it on my own, even though the part has had multiple complaints and is apparently defective will be over $300. That's ridiculous. Get the recall sent out so we can continue to drive safely or in my case drive.

The transmissions on the these vehicles go out while driving on a sudden dime without warning. I was a stop sign and all of a sudden the vehicle couldn't move. This has happened to a bunch of other people.

June 2010(irving, TX) - the gear shaft button popped out which made shifting from park to reverse or drive almost impossible without sticking something hard inside, like a pen . Vehicle would become difficult to start, typically after third try it would start. . The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnosis or repaired as I could not afford it at the time, . I was involved in an accident, in which my Alero was totaled after failing to stop because power steering and brakes locked, the airbags never deployed. The approximate mileage was 165,340 at the time of failure.

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.

The cruise control failed to disengage. The throttle had gotten stuck. The shift lever cable assembly was binding. The shift cable was replaced.

My car would leave me stranded, wouldn't start after getting wet from either rain or washing it at the car wash. All gauges, a/c speedometer,etc. . . Failed. I have had it serviced 3 times for the same problem from 7/2/2002 to present. Now my power window on driver's side has stopped working. And the vinyl trim on my doors below my windows is all bubbled and coming unglued. In my opinion I was sold a "lemon" and I want to find out how to file a claim.

Occasionally, vehicle will not start after sitting for about an hour. . . Vehicle will try to start. . . Tachometer will fluctuate, but the engine ends up stalling. In order to start the vehicle, the ignition key has to be held in the start position longer than usual. . . About 5 seconds. Took to various dealer service dept. Several times, but nothing wrong could be found by them. Vehicle is now out of manufacture's warranty. . . Contacted manufacture for assistance, but none given.

Clutch master cylinder failed on February 5 and has been at the dealer since the morning of the 6th. Gm is unable to find replacement part. This part is also used on the 2002 grand am with standard transmission. As this renders the car inoperable (won\\'t srart and can\\'t shift gears). I find it incredible that there isn\\'t one to be found in the us.
