“On march 3, 2005 my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero gl v6/3.4l would not start. On march 4, 2005, all 3 distributor coils were replaced as well as all 6 spark plugs. The car worked fine until march 7, 2005 when while driving the car for about 10 minutes, the car shut down. It coasted to the side of the road and I could not get it to start again. In both instances the car seems to try to start but is unsuccessful. In my online research, this appears to be a very common problem with no known resolution for other owners of the Alero. …”

The sun visor came loose and had to be tightened again. The cd player had to be replaced. A backlash of electricity caused a fuse to be replaced.
