My VIN number is not covered for bulletin number 03043a issued march 2004 for gm turn signals/hazard warning flashers inoperative, but the car is doing exactly what is covered in the recall. The VIN breakpoint should include yc369922. My car is a 2000 oldsmobile alero.
Hazard warning switch causing intermittent blinker function. My 2000 alero doesn't fall within the recall range of VIN numbers. The federal safety agency # 03v327000, gm recall # 03043. Dealer wanted me to pay $125.00 to diagnose, or replace the switch for $136.00 { $28 for part and the rest is labor etc.} . My VIN ends with yc362717. I purchased the part myself and spent about an hour replacing the defective switch. I think the recall should include more vehicles that exhibit the same symptoms. I would like reimbursement for my cost and labor. I have the old part. Gm knew about my switch last year, but there was no recall yet.
Hazard control switch failed which lead to not being able to use blinkers or hazards. Recall # 03043 was issued feb. 2004 on over 600,000 vehicles. Vin # [xxx] was not included in recall but has the same malfunction. Manufacturer is not willing to reimburse the repair cost of $77.24 which was replaced on oct. 7, 2004. *nm updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
I just recently started to have problems with the signal lights and hazard lights on my 2000 alero. They became intermittent. This has happened only few times.the problem has been sporadic in nature. However, I just learned that there was a recall concerning this problem but I've never received any notices from gm. And now I am concerned about my safety. When I contacted both the gm dealer and oldsmobile hotline, I was told that my vehicle (it's VIN#) was not covered under this recall and the repair to my vehicle will not be made for free. Please help, there obviously are problems with this vehicle. Also, I had to replace rotors and pads 3 times already. First time 3 months after I purchased my brand new alero. Since gm considers this as tear and wear they are not covering the repairs. My use of brakes is very light since I live close to highway and my work is very close to the highway. This got to be due to faulty design. There are a lot of people on the web experiencing the same problems with the alero's rotors. Replacement is quite expansive and too frequent. Sincerely, anita polakowski.
Hazard warning switch is bad. My 2000 alero was built prior to february, the 2000 recall, and the acknowledgment and correction of the blatent safety issue has been ignored. It hasn't been handled satisfactory. After a month long run around of phone calls and promises, a certified letter with endorsment of documentation was mailed to oldsmobile on the matter. I was given a claim number a month ago by oldsmobile of 1-253388704. *ak melissa keffaber (purchased as melissa johnson)

All four of my window regulators have failed within a period of 2 months, I have replaced 3 of the four, the left rear door still has not been replaced do to the cost of parts for this car, in adition, I have had to replace the front calipers, brake pads and rotors on this vehicle 2 times within a period of 1 year, just before the last time I replaced them, my rear calipers went out, they will engage, but will stay locked, only releasing after I drive for about 20 feet or so, I have also experienced problems with the security system activating itself and not allowing me to start the car for at least 10 minutes ( the time it takes the system to recycle itself). In adddition, my door pannels coverings are all coming separated accross the top of of them, again do to the cost, I have failed to replace them. Unfortunatly this happened before I knew that so many people where having problems with the oldsmobile aleros, so I did not retain the old parts.

I purchased a 2000 alero that currently has approximately 52.000 miles on it. Almost overnight, almost a month ago from today, the dashboard vinyl buckled, waved, and started pulling away from the dashboard. At this same time, the turn signals began to intermittently stop working completely. I have found numerous web sites where other alero owners have had the same issues. I realize that the dashboard is cosmetic and not a safety issue. However, the turn signals are a problem. Gm will not recall the alero even though they have a history of serious defects that have nothing to do with owner neglect. Gm should be forced to recall this sad excuse for a car. I'm complaining to you specifically because I feel as though no one else will listen to the hoards of alero owners with the same problems.

The turn signals work "sometimes", I was told it is a problem with the hazard switch but that has been replaced 3 times and the problem still exist. I have had six (6) window regulators replaced on my vehicle. A vehicle that has this history with turn signals is a safety hazard and your department should get more involved. The incident date is just the latest time the window has gone out.
