NHTSA complaint #10881369, filed 2016-06, 159,000 miles“While driving my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero with my kids in the car the steering locked up and started making lound banging noises from the under carriage then I could not make a left turn. I almost got hit head on and had to pull over and have the vehicle towed to a shop. The mechanic looked at the rack and pinion and realized that the sub frame has rusted out. And the mechanic asked me how did you even drive this car. I told him I had no clue on the severity of the problem. This sub frame is sub par and should be recalled. In my opinion.”
NHTSA complaint #10789970, filed 2015-11, 127,000 miles“I have a 2000 olds Alero. Gl 6 cyl 3.4, 4 door. I had to replace the engine about 3-4 years ago and this past spring the head gasket blew, so I had to invest in that. I am very adamate on taking care of my car and oil changes. Also, the whole dash cover and passenger air bag cover is peeling away. I noticed this is several Alero's I have seen in a parking lot. My main concern is the engine though. How many times am I going to have to invest thousands of dollars for the motor issues. Is there anything that can be done about the motor issue?”
NHTSA complaint #10331172, filed 2010-05, 114,000 miles“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. …”
