On several occasions while driving, my alero has completely shut off. The first time it happened, I was going 55 MPH in traffic. The power steering shut down and it was hard to pull to the side of the road. If it is raining outside, you may as well just park it. It will not crank easily and it acts like it doesn't want to run once you get it to start. Of course, when you take it to the shop they can't find anything wrong with it. My driver's side power window will not roll down. The low tire pressure light goes off every other day, even though the air pressure is fine and the interior doors look awful because the trim has come unglued. This is the worst car I have ever purchased. I would like to know what I can do to get this car repaired or replaced.
2001 Oldsmobile Alero body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I brake there is a grinding noise going on underneath the front of my car. Happens when I brake going down hill, or when I have to brake suddenly. When I brake normally, there is this shaking that is going on. I thought I needed new brake pads but that did not remedy the situation. Also, my sunvisor falls off very frequently hitting me in the head. And my driver side mirror shakes violently while im driving. And my tires loose pressure constantly and sometimes the light even comes on when my tires arent low.
The consumer states that on three seperate occasions they have been left without a vehicle due to the engine throwing coolant out of the coolant resevoir, this results in an engine that was heaving and vibrating/knocking. The vehicle was losing most of its anti-freeze during the operation. On one occasion they found a leaky intake manifold gasket. Consumer states that when he'd take the vehicle to get repairs, the problem was never found or there was an impression that the vehicle was okay. Also, the consumer states that the cooling system is designed in a way that air bubbles cannot be bled out and would like his money back.
