Noticed the windshield was leaking which cause to leak on equipment under inside and out dashboard witch caused erosion and defects to other operating equipment lead to car stalling while driving,some operations of will work, some won't. It has a mind of it's own,the security system on car does not work. I do not feel safe since I was driving down road on highway 55mph. And the car completely turn off, I turned ignition switch to turn car back on it was very scary moment. I didn't know what to do. But I wish I can afford to fix the car problems that has caused me a lot of misery financially emotionally feel safe with gm sealing front window properly on alero I wouldn't have these problems in the first place! So not properly sealing and wiring diagram needs to be examined in my opinion all I want is to feel safe in any gm motors models not just me but others too . I wish someone would help me as much I help others in my car n my daily life to get by not much to ask to feel safe! The car was not sealed right in first place. This is what caused my problems owning this car. I need either help with car to get fix pthe right way. Or I need a new car I have a disabled mother and grandpa that depend on me and I need a reliable car to provide daily tasks appointments the list goes on. I could really use a piece of mind just to know I'm driving a safe reliable car to do my god services every day I'm begging!!

I own a 2004 alero oldsmobile I purchased the car used in 2008. It later only had one recall which was for the ignition issues. While the car is on and in drive the key is still able to be pulled out of the ignition and the car still remains on and in drive. I am also experiencing my blinkers not working 100% of the time, (the federal safety agency campaign # for this issue is 03v327000). I can press the hazard light button quickly and frequently while pushing on the signal stick and that sometimes will make them work, other times that doesn't work and neither my signals nor hazard signals work at all. Lastly, and most frightening, in the midst of driving the vehicle has stalled, and will jump as the RPM's bounce back and forth, (the federal safety agency campaign # for this issue is 07e021000). There had been several times this has happened and a few times the vehicle actually did shut off in the middle of driving, I've had to push the car off the road, and wait 10-15 minutes before I attempt to start the vehicle again. The car was tested for over 3 hours and they found nothing wrong with the engine or battery, which is why I am certain it is the fuel pressure recall. I took the car in for the key recall I brought this up to them as well, (as my windows also do not work), I purchased a new gas cap as instructed hoping that would fix this dangerous situation with the car stalling out, it did not fix the issue. There are recalls that my car falls under and that I am experiencing, I asked why these life threatening recalls weren't able to be fixed on my car, I was told they weren't listed on my VIN. Please help my vehicle and the millions others be updated with the federal safety agency to request the manufacturer to review this more closely in relation to the ones actually affected by these issues. These issues are extremely dangerous and pose as a threat not only to myself and family but to other drivers around me.

My oldsmobile alero just hit 60000 miles, and is not starting and is stalling. I am not sure what the problem is yet, but it seems electrical. The security light has come on when it stalls so I am not sure if they are related.
