Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
Vehicle cruise control nor rear defrost works. The front dashboard cover is shrinking and peeling back off of dash and is almost completely off of airbag area and this is seen in almost every alero but not other gm models
Heater fan quit. Windshield stays fogged up in winter. Likely to cause accident. And cruise control quit also
This documents an ongoing scenario regarding the cruise control switch, p/n spo 022608614. On 1/25/01 had the switch replaced [woodard chev, fairfield, ca] because the switch was inoperative . The same switch was inoperative after a vehicle service on 5/17/02 [pearson auto, sunnyvale, ca]. I have not replaced the switch for a 3rd time, because I feel this switch will fail after another engine service activity. I do not want to continue to pay for faulty designed parts, or pay for service inadequacies which lend to other component failures. This switch appears to be faulty in that the part has a short service life, or there is a flaw in the service process which ultimately renders the switch inoperative. Would like this remedied. Thank you!
1. The button on the automative gear shift broke 2000, replaced under warranty, broke again 2002. 2. The turn signal wouldn't work, worked on twice, now a recall! 3. Motor on power driver seat broke. 4.dash board is bubbling and peeling! Cheap *** glue! 5. Brake pads-too many to mention! 6. Cruise control went out...now sometimes the car will race and I don't have to put my foot on the gas, but if you have to apply brakes, you had better hold it down hard, or you'll end up ramming someone in the back. If you try to gun to get the rpms down, it'll shoot up to 3000 rpms! 7. I am very disappointed with gmc/oldsmobile!!!! I will never recommend this car!
1. Blinkers are broken 2. Emergency lights do not work 3. Fuel pump went out ~57500 miles 4. Motor under seat went out; local dealer ordered it when it was under warranty and never notified me it was in 5. Clear coat was peeling on hood - local dealer fixed 6. Dash board is peeling up 7. Transmission has been slipping since about ~31000 miles 8. Cruise control does not work must I go on? I hope gmac will fix some of these problems. I will never buy another american made vehicle!
Service engine soon lamp: intake manifold gasket: cruise control: transmission.
The brake rotors had to be replaced twice because the brakes wear very fast replaced brakes 4 times since I bought the car in august of 2001 even if there the lifetime warranty brakes. The drivers door window motor has to be replaced. Driver window keeps coming off track causing the window to fall. The interior light fell out and had to be put back. The low tire air pressure light, and others keep coming on and staying on even if the work has been done. The back window has a wire type defrost in the window itself that has burned in once place only leaving a burned look on the back window. The cruise control went out a week after I had the vehicle which I bought the vehicle at 30, 000 miles. The passenger side view mirror shatter going the a roadway about 35 miles an hour, almost causing eye damage to a very young child if I hadn't roll the window up in time due to child being seated in the back seat in a child seat. The mirror shattered in very tiny pieces for no apparent reason.
The cruise control failed to disengage. *jb the throttle had gotten stuck. The shift lever cable assembly was binding. The shift cable was replaced.
