2000 Oldsmobile Alero lights complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 135, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Turn signals started failing a few years after we bought the car. We changed them a few years ago and later got a recall notice about them failing. They were fine at the time that we got the recall notice about 2 years ago and just recently they started failing again. They go off and I never know when they are going to not work. Sometimes they go really fast and sometimes they slow down. Other times they just do not go on at all. I never know when that is going to happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 oldsmobile alero. The vehicle was purchased on 02/08/07. After leaving the dealers she contact realized the signal lights were failing. Also the headlights failed. The failure mileage was 88,900. The dealer informed the contact that since they didn't purchase an extended warranty they were not responsible for the repairs. The contact viewed on the federal safety agency's website, and found recall campaign # 03v327000 concerning exterior lighting: flashing warning lights: switch. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not part of the recall. The current mileage was 88,924.
Intermittent turn signal failure, left or right, no pattern, unpredictable, happening for more then a year at least once in each daily 70 mile round trip.
I have a 2000 oldsmobile alero and the turning signal light and the hazardous light does not work it makes a buzzing sound when I try to make a turn. While I was home from work one day and I put on my turning signal lights on it kept making the buzzing sound. I have not tried to get this fix because the dealer that I purchased the car from told me that it would cost me over $300 to get it fix and I don't think that I should pay that much for something that is not my fault.. I would just like to if there was any type of recall for that type of problem.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving at any speed, and without provocation, the turn signals and hazard lights worked intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem.
Intermittent turn signal and hazard lamps. At times while driving turn signals will not work at all. Often times hazards will flash or chick rapidly during normal driving. Same symptoms as gm recall 03043 or the federal safety agency campaign id 03v327000, however my VIN [xxx] is not included in recall. Gm shows only [xxx] through [xxx] in recall. These earlier VIN use the same part and have the same problem as those listed in the recall. Center console was removed for access and it was verified that any slight pressure to the combination 'hazard switch/flasher circuit board' will replicate the failures. Problem is not resolved causing vehicle have a dangerous safety issue.*jb updated 07/16/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Malfunctioning turn signals.
Dt*: the contact stated the turn signals and hazard warning lights intermittently work. There is a the federal safety agency recall, # 03v327000, regarding the exterior lighting. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer and no repairs were made. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.
Please refer to recall#03v327000 or gm recall number 03043. My 2000 oldsmobile alero is affected with the problem. But I have not received a recall notice. When I contacted gm they refuse to perform the required repair. I continue to have the problem of turn signal and hazard lamp intermittent not working. This implies the gm has not done a exhaustive work of identifying all affected cars.
Dt: the contact states there is the federal safety agency recall campaign 03v327000 concerning hazard flashing warning lights:switch. This vehicle is experiencing the same problems as indicated in the recall, but it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. The contact repaired the vehicle at his own expense.
I am having a problem with my hazard flashing warning lights and my turn signals.
Dt: the consumer stated that h turn indicator worked intermittently. This just recently started on the consumer's car. It happened on two occasions. The consumer contacted general motors, and they stated that they did not have a recall on this problem. The car is a 2000 oldsmobile alero. The owner bought the car from a private party and was not able to contact the dealership where the car was initially bought. The consumer has not taken the car to have it checked for turn signal failure.
My vehicle (2000 oldsmobile alero) is exhibiting the same problem as described in the federal safety agency campaign id number 03v32700 but my VIN does not include my vehicle in the recall. I have contacted the manufacturer but as the VIN doesn't qualify they won't provide the repair free of charge.
Dt: the hazard light switch malfunctioned. The turn signals did not always work; the hazard switch had to be pushed in and out to make the signals work. The dealerships fixed the vehicle. There was a recall, but this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. The problem started in january of 2004, it was intermittent.
The gm recall for a defective hazard/turn-signal switch on its malibu, alero, & gramam lines is too narrow!. This concerns [the federal safety agency recall no. 03v327/gm and recall no. 03043]. *ak a large number of cars manufactured slightly before the range contained in the recall also have the exact same problem. A quick search of any message board concerning these gm cars will back up the claims in this complaint. Even worse, local dealers refuse to honor the problem. Even worse, for cars included in the recall, some dealers charge for labor, despite the terms of the recall.. In short, gm is knowingly and purposely not extending the recall to all vehicles actually affected. The consequences of this defective part can be quite fatal -- inoperative turn signals can lead to accidents, death, and destruction. I have recently been in many "near-miss" incidents due to this faulty part. (note, while the deaths and # injured are slightly exaggerated -- the number of failures is not!). Due to the intermittent nature of this problem, I was unable to get it repaired during the warranty period. Now that the warranty has expired, it is less intermittent, and more often in a failed state.
On march 3, 2005 my 2000 oldsmobile alero gl v6/3.4l would not start. On march 4, 2005, all 3 distributor coils were replaced as well as all 6 spark plugs. The car worked fine until march 7, 2005 when while driving the car for about 10 minutes, the car shut down. It coasted to the side of the road and I could not get it to start again. In both instances the car seems to try to start but is unsuccessful. In my online research, this appears to be a very common problem with no known resolution for other owners of the alero. Additionally, after the window fell into the driver side door, on october 19, 2004, I had the mechanism for the driver side window replaced. In december 2004, the same window failed to work at all. I have not had it fixed again. The water pump was replaced after a sudden coolant leak completely depleting the system in november 2003, and the same situation occured again requiring the water pump to be replaced again in february 2005, a little over a year later. One of the cigarette lighters stopped working in june 2004. The service engine light, tire pressure light, and coolant light come on intermittently with no apparent problem. The interior dome light is touch and go, meaning if I touch the case, it may or may not go on or off. The front brake system has been replaced more times than I can count on my one hand in the nearly 3 years that I have owned it. The signal lights would stop functioning and buzz hideously until I pressed the hazard button. Water has collected in the front passenger floorboard and in the trunk from seal failure. The engine seems to burn oil quickly.
2000 oldsmobile alero motor, ignition, fuel pump and catalytic converter had to be replaced.***no answer required***. *mr although the engine was replaced the check engine light remained illuminated. The turn signal don't work. The A/C only work on high. The vehicle shakes while idling. The brake pads have been replaced 2-3 times per year. The brakes were replaced the rotors had to be replaced.
When using the turn signals there was no indication inside of vehicle that the signal lights were in use or not. Also, there no lights were blinking. Stopped vehicle on side of road and got out to check signal lights on driver and passenger sides, and nothing showed. Took vehicle to dealership for repairs, and was in contact with manufacturer.
My car has less than 60,000 miles and I have had constant problems, some repaired, others, the dealer and other repair shops "could not determine" the causes. Automatic windows won't work two front windows (intermittent) turn signs do not work intermittent, sometimes stop working and danger to me in traffic, air pressure light stays on and tire shop said they could not fix. This has been going on intermittently since before the warranty expired. Before that I had to have a series of other repairs done at the dealer and at a repair shop because I am not financially able to afford the labor charges at the dealer. Also the people at the dealers are not easy to deal with. I have all of my repair bills for further information. I have had to have several parts replaced in the wheels, the battery before warranty, the motor in the wiper fluid container, brakes, some part in the wheel before e the warranty was up. This car is a piece of junk and I believe the current problem has something to do with the electrical system not being manufactured correctly. I am driving a very unsafe car and believe the dealer will try to take advantage of me financially to try to correct it, if it can be corrected. I believe this car to be a lemon. The problems started with this auto within the first year I bought it. I don't have the exact date.
The turn signals are inoperative. The driver was unable to use them to signal the intention to turn. This was due to the defect described in the hazard warning switch recall 03v327000. But, this vehicle was not involved in recall due to VIN. *ak *sc
Turn signals began to infrequently not function. That has deteriorated to where they infrequently work. Hazard switch recently stopped working.
Consumer's vehicle experienced the same problem as mentioned in recall 03v327000 concerning hazard warning switch. Dealership will not repair free of charge because the VIN was not included.
The consumer was having the same problems as stated in recall#03v327000 hazard switch. The dealership will not repair the problem free of charge because the vehicle identification number was not included. Please provide more information.

2000 oldsmobile alero experiencing symptoms described in recall 03v327000 regarding the turn signals and hazard lights.*mr the consumer contacted the manufacturer and was told that her vehicle was not included in that recall due to VIN.
The vehicle's turn signals have not work for approximately 6 months. *nm the turn signals were intermittent. The hazard lights were intermittent as well. Recall# 03v327000.
My turn signals will periodically stop working. When they are not working, pressing the hazard warning light button on and off usually gets them working again. On several occasions I was not able to signal my intent to turn as I could not get the signals to work at all or I couldn't get them working in time.
My signal/hazards have failed on my 2000 oldsmobile alero. A recall notice has been issued but apparently not for my car. My nearest service department, weber gm (63141), refuses to do any recall work due to the VIN not showing in their database. A call directly to gm seemed to resolve the issue, however the service department still will not comply and gm will not issue a recall notice for my automobile.
