Ran a diagnostics test at a parts store and came back about the "intake air temperature circuit high input." I didn't think much about it, but the part is relatively cheap, I just don't know if I can replace that myself. But when I registered my vehicle it came back as a fail on the emissions test for the state due to this part. While looking it up and checking on line about this issue I saw several entries that it may also affect the warning lights for ABS and braking systems. Those have been on as well for a long time. I have had the brakes replaced twice in the past 2 years. The second time was because they had given me defective brake pads the first time and they were worn out with in 3 months. But now I have to get the intake air temperature circuit replaced, and it sounds like it may be more wiring than the circuit itself, but I don't have time and ability to work through all the possibilities, nor the money to let a mechanic do it as well. If this is a known issue, then why isn't it being addressed by oldsmobile (gm) either? They have a bulletin about it!

Purchased 2003 alero on oct 8, 2009 on oct. 9th car would not start or jump, ABS and security light was on, radio turned off. Had it towed back to dealer who looked at it the next day and the car started right up and they could not duplicate the problem so they did not do any work to it. On oct 15 while my daughter was driving the vehicle onto the interstate the ABS light and security light came on and the steering wheel turned sharply to the left and she could not control the vehicle. This caused an accident with injuries. The diagnostic report was limited due to the extent of damage to the vehicle and the only code they could get to register was that the ABS code was on. Was told that the diagnostic did not show anything else but diagnostics was limited anyways because the vehicle was not drivable anymore.

I have a 2001 olds alero....for two years I have been having trouble with the sensor on my right front tire. The sensor caused my ABS and traction control system to fail. After many attempts to get fixed it seems that my bearing was bad. On the day that I got my car fixed 5 cars between 2 dealers were getting the same problem fixed. They were all gm cars..

Service vehicle soon, trac off light, and ABS light took to dealer, out of warranty, private repair shop, cost-$500, grinding noise before lights turned on, dinging,lights went on, it was sensor in left front wheel bearing. Also have replaced front rotors, alternator at 65,000 miles. Key fob doesn''t lock drivers door. Hood on car replaced in 2006 under warranty because of blistering 2002-water leak onto drivers floor, 5 times to dealer, replaced side door gasket, problem had to be solved by replacing windshield gasket. I'm afraid of all these complaints about turn signal failure and hazard light failure and the car just quitting. Trading in this piece of **** as soon as paid off.

Turn signals intermittently quit working, but hazards work fine. Also, intermittently when you turn the steering wheel fully (either way) the ABS light and low traction off light come on which clear after turning the ignition off and restarting, but does it again or maybe not for a while.

Last year I had a rubbing type sound coming from my front end, upon taking it to tuffy I learned that I needed a left wheel bearing. I replaced the wheel bearing and 7 months later I had to replace the right wheel bearing. Currently I am being told that the wheel bearings still needs to be replaced. My ABS lights are on and there is a popping sound when my car turns. I have a new tie rod so that rules the noise coming from it. The bearings are expensive to replace and I only had the car three years and I had to replace bearings, the manifold intake, a tie rod, and hoses.
