I just received a letter in the mail from oldsmobile letting me know that there is a current open recall on hazard / turn signals. I would like to file a compliant about my 2001 oldsmobile alero, because not only do my turn signals and hazards not work, but my cruise control automatically kicks off by itself all the time, I have a low tire pressure light that stays on constantly, and my radio does not work half the time. I believe there is a short in the wires of my car. This all happened at the same time my turn signals / hazards stop working also. The low tire pressure light never lets me know if I really may have a low tire (which could result in a blowout while driving, etc.) although, I've had the tires checked numerous times currently but, I am wondering since the light is on and the tire may really be low and I have a blowout, it could cause me to have an accident. Also, the same with the cruise control. If a vehicle is following too close, and the cruise kicks off, then the following vehicle may bump into my rear of my car. I would like this looked into if at all possible. Thank you very much.
