I bought my vehicle new in 1998 in florida. Less than 5 months later, the power driver seat becomes loose...moves with the movement of the car. Took to dealer for repair under manufacture warranty. After service visit, driver seat is still loose. Manufacture warranty is now expired on this vehicle...contacted the manufacture, but they offered no assistance for this problem.

What 1999 Oldsmobile Alero owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Front seat does not lock in position, front driver side bearing defective, driver power window malfunctions.
The rear drivers side seat has come detached. It is possible to lift the seat up, and I can see no way to re-attach it. It seems unsafe in the event of an accident. Dt
The passenger seat does not lock into place adequately. It rolls forward and backward anytime it is adjusted and must be manually locked into place after each adjustment to prevent rolling. The possible dangers included losing footing when stepping into the vehicle to sit down and the seat rolls back and rolling forward when braking into the front windshield.
Sun roof assemby failed, required 3 months to replace/repair. Brake pads replaced on all 4 wheels at low mileage. Seat belt on driver latch is loose on seat belt. Rear seat does not lock in place. Battery leaked causing failure to start, battery replaced, but no other components were checked by dealer.
Vehicle has been taken in to the dealership 6 times due to the seat leaning to the right and the seat reclining while driving. Dealer has made one attempt to fix the problem but seems to still have the same problems...on going problem
Passenger's seat won't lock in place. Cunsumer is concerned that in case of a collision the occupant in the seat will plunge forward into the window because the seat not secure.
Both front seats have a razor sharp edge under the front seats where the rear passengers put their feet. My daughter, while wearing sandels cut her foot on it. Leather shoes have been damaged also. The factory will not alow the dealer to deburr the edges. They say it would violate federal law. Material was glued on and fell off. The car in the showroom has the same problem. We are having no success with the factory in solving the problem.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Right front seat latch does not lock immediately when moved.
