This car is experiencing the same problems as described in the federal safety agency recall 03v327000. The signal lights and hazard lights are intermittently working and not reliable at all. Called to see if oldsmobile/gm would fix the issue but they deny responsibility because the VIN is not entered on their database.
I have an issue with my car where the hazard light/ turn signal work sometimes and sometimes they don't. I took it to a shop and I was told there was a recall on the soldering. I contacted gm and I was told there were no recalls on my vehicle but when I researched it online I found there was a recall on the same issue I am having. I would like to know how gm can turn this away because this is clearly a safety recall no matter how many miles is on the car or how old. What can I do? My reference number with gm is[xxx].

I received letter from gmc informing of a recall on the hazard flashing warning light (03v327000 or gmc # 03043. I was already experiencing issues at that time the dealer told me that it would have to be completely inoperable to be replaced. It is now inoperable and I have now been informed that my VIN # falls outside of the recall. How is it determined which VIN's are effected? Is there any way to reinvestigate the effected VIN's? I would like to resolve this issue before the car is involved in an accident and not after. Thank you.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) I bought a 2000 oldsmobile alero about 3 years ago, I noticed at the beginning that the turn signals nor the hazard lights worked. We have done everything from changing bulbs,checking fuses and ground wires to no avail. I recently started having another problem where the oil has backed up into my oil reservoir, my car has not overheated and no oil leaks. That is how I came to find out that there had been a recall on the hazard switch on the alero. I contacted gm and gave them all the information that they needed. After being on hold for about 15 minutes, they then told me that it was not my make or model that had been recalled. The description on their website pin pointed my problem to a tee! And they are telling me that it is not their fault. My car has 91,000 miles. Vin: [xxx]. I feel that gm should be held accountable for this defect in my vehicle, just because it was not my make or model as they are stating does not mean that it could not happen. I believe that it is a defect that they should be held accountable for.
About a year ago I pushed my hazard button and it fell back into the dashboard. So now there is a hole there and I cannot use my flashers if needed.
While vehicle was on side of road, pushed hazard button and it pushed through dash. Unable to turn off switch because it is in dash. Pulled hazard fuse, lights stayed on.
The button I push to turn on/off the hazard lights worked but the switch went right through the dash and dropped inside. It appears (online) that others have had this happen on this car. Was there ever a recall on this particular defect ?
Trac off light and anti-lock light on, car jerks into drive, and while changing gears. Has to replace sensory, drive shafts, etc. Brakes don't work, car jerks after 3000 rpms, dangerous, and can cause crash.
The blinkers and hazard switch work every now and then it cuts in and out. I had this problem fixed in 2005 under the original recall and now am having to have it fixed again.

Also another incident with this car are the blinker which sometimes work and sometimes don't. Just this week another problem with the air conditioning. The blower is not working therefore no defrost in this cold weather.
