My daughter will be driving her 99 alero along and at any given time the car stalls, the power steering and brakes don't work and she has a great deal of difficulty pulling over to get out of traffic. We have taken it to several mechanics, no one can find anything wrong. She is afraid to drive it.

The lower intake gasket & oil pump drive o-ring seal is leaking coolant internal & is mixing with oil, engine will need to be replaced. This car is only 2 1/2 yrs old, the intake gasket and o-ring seal should not leak fluid; this must be a manufacturer's defect. I have taken the car in for service (fitzgerald auto mall- maryland) consistently. .... Idlerpulley - I had the serpentine belt replaced in nov 2001(113.38). In february while driving on the interstate all of car systems began to fail. Once the alternator was drained dry and the car coolant, the battery died, because the serpentine belt came off. After two hours in the rain we were able to get the belt back on and I took the car to the dealership the following day. The dealership discovered the idler pulley bearing was loose and needed to be replaced...this cost $117.47. The dealership would not pay claim any liability, because it had been two months since they had replaced ther serpentine belt and felt anything could of happened since november. I am sure it is not common for an idler pulley bearing to become loose, this may be a manufacturer's defect. Thank you.
When going up a hill gas gauge goes to empty, and light down near consumer's feet illuminates. Cause is unknown. Please provide any further information.
Consumer stated when going up a hill, the fuel guage indicator goes to empty. Then a light illuminates near brake and gas pedal. *ak
I have owned the car for 21 months and in that time, I have had 3 gas leaks repaired.
The front brakes and rotors have been replaced twice. The brakes are vibrating again when you try to stop at a higher rate of speed. The check engine light and service engine soon have been on at least 6 times. The fuel injectors have had to be replaced 4 times.
Because of the possible design flow, intake gasket failed causing water to get into engine. Jb
Twice I have had get my rotors resurfaced or replaced, my gas gauge everytime I fill up it bounces up and down and the clear coat on the hood of the vehicle is coming off. This vehicle needs to have a recall on the brake system due to a lot of people that I have talked with and many on the internet complaining about having to replace there rotors or get them resurfaced way before the manufactured time limit. I bought my car with 29, 000 miles on it and have had to resurface or replace the rotors twice. Is this normal???
Broken intake manifold gasket may cause total engine failure as fluids then mix. Root cause is determined to be use of bi-metal engine components (I.e. Aluminum heads on cast iron block) research shows this problem can affect *every* bi-metalic gm engine produced from 1980's through late models.
The vehicles brakes failed while driving causing the vehicle to rear end another vehicle and resulted in property damage to both vehicles, the consumer is request reimbursement. Nlm
