2000 Oldsmobile Alero visibility complaints

The driver's side view mirror has vibrated on the vehicle since the day I bought it. I took it at the first oil change and asked them to fix it. They told me that was a known problem with the 2 door alero and there was nothing they could do. The problem was so bad that I could not use the mirror at highway speeds as vehicles would come in and out of view. I eventually contacted oldsmobile about the issue. It turns out their policy is to contact the dealership to confirm the problem (a lot of good that does). I consistentantly compained when I went in for service and evetually there was a service bulletin and they performed the "fix". The fix did nothing so there was nothing else they could do. I intermitantly complained and they eventually replaced the mirror assembly which worked for a few weeks. Now, last sunday, on the way back from mt.pleasant the mirror vibrated so bad that what was in the bottom of the mirror one second was in the top the next. When I got up the next morning the mirror was laying on the garage floor as it had fallen off. I called the dealership and took it in. They told me they would only continue to cover the mirror until the manufacturer warranty runs out and my extended warranty I purchased would not cover it. I feel that if it a manufacturing defect it should be covered for life. And, to top it off, they had me take the car, without a mirror home until they could get a mirror (I thought it was illegal to drive without a mirror). I expected a loaner car for my safety. This is getting quite annoying that I have what was a brand new car and have had to put up with this safetyhjazzard for almost two years and there is nothing they can do and they were aware of the problem; therefore, knowingly putting me at risk. What are my options? What can I do? Now I have to pay for any repairs or put up with it until my lease expires as I cannot afford to buy out my lease early. Alan. Nlm
When applying brakes, steering wheel would vibrate. Had taken to dealership, and had the rotors resurfaced or replaced. Problem still present.*ak consumer states tire had to be replaced at 6000 miles, insufficient sealing caused water to leak in to drivers side rear foot well, both front door opening w/strips and door panel water barriers were replaced and also power window squeaks when going up and down.
I have been having brake problems for the last year and a half. The brakes pulsate under any braking conditions ,but at speeds above 50 MPH it is extremly bad. The dealer has attempted to fix the problem on six occasions with no success. The first brake replacement they replaced both front rotors and pads. That lasted for about 10,000 miles before needing another repair. After that repair the rotors were resurfaced, which then caused the brakes not only to pulsate but to also make a grinding or moaning noise while stopping. We are now on repair number six and still the problem is not fixed. After speaking with a representative from general motors and being told that brakes are not a safety concern I am worried about the safety of any gm vehicle. Something needs to be done about the defect of these brakes before someone is injured or killed because gm can't admit fault. The driver side power window has stopped working on two occasions the first being on 12/10/2001 then again on 02/06/2002. On both occasions the motor had to be replaced. No further problems with this as of yet.

We have been told this is a design defect. The mirror vibrates so much you can hardly see out of it. The vibration has also caused the mirror to fall off twice. We have called the manufacturer on this problem several times. At first we were told it would work itself out in about 700 miles then we were told they were reseaching it. This all began 1 1/2 years ago. I think if side mirrors are required on vehicles this would be considered a saftey issue and could be a cause of a accident.
Top gasket or trim ring that holds front windshield has fallen off while driving at 65 MPH on interstate. Consumer had to use duct tape until he reached dealer. Dealer will reglue windshield. Please provide further information.
My rear glass shattered after turning on the rear defogger.
Water is leaking in the seals, and windows keep fogging up. Dealer corrected the leak, but windows are still fogging up. *ak consumer states that dealer refuses to repair damage caused by water leak.
