19 Turn Signal problem of the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero

Failure Date: 04/02/2012

I have recently purchased a 99 Oldsmobile Alero. There is a problem with the turn signals/hazard button which started out with a loud buzzing while the turn signals were activated. I could sometimes get the buzzing to stop by pushing the hazard button at the same time as the turn signal. Now it's at the point where my signals don't even work 95% of the time. I'll start my car and the first time I use them they might work, but as soon as I turn the wheel they stop working and do not work for the rest of the trip. The hazards have stopped working as well. I have been told that my VIN number is not covered. Online research has pulled up NHTSA action number : rq04005 which states that gm will issue a special policy for 1999-2000 Alero since it's not covered under recall 03v327. However, further searches have found that rq04005 expired in February 2010. The defect acknowledged in recall 03v327 is exactly the same as the issue acknowledged in NHTSA action# rq04005, so why is there an allowed expiration date for the remedy of the problem?.

29 Turn Signal problem of the 2002 Oldsmobile Alero

Failure Date: 10/26/2009

Hazard and turn signals intermittently fail; same as the 2001. . . There was a recall for this issued on the 2001, but not the 2002? I lose my turn signals approximately 2-3 times per 10 mile trip. I have not been involved in an accident due to this malfunction. . . Yet. No repairs seem to fix the problem. The incident date is the last time this problem occurred (I haven't driven the car for a few days), but it has actually been going on for over 2 years. Apparently this is a common problem with the Alero's reguardless of the model year. The vehicle also won't start when it rains, and shuts down while driving. The trunk opens by itself, and the door locks don't always work. Sometimes the stereo won't turn on, and most recently the driver's door window won't open. I replaced the wheel house assembly 3 times in two years. This car is an electrical nightmare! frequently it won't start because it thinks I'm trying to steal it. I also put air in all my tires at least once a week because they won't hold air. . . Apparently there is a problem with the wheels. I have to manually check the tires because the warning light for low tire pressure is also an electrical malfunction.
