Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I own a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero, have had no problems so far except the dashboard vinyl peeling up, and the particle on the vinyl backing flake off and recirculate through the car in the A/C. This is a problem with a lot of these cars that I did not notice until now. Gm should fix this problem since they used glue that was not strong enough to hold the vinyl down!”
NHTSA complaint #10176484, filed 2006-12, 78,000 miles“Both doors were leaking in rain and in the car wash. I took it to the dealership where it was still under warranty because I purchased a 100,00 mile bumper to bumper warranty. They could not find the leaks. It continued to do it and still couldn't find the leaks. Now it is leaking so bad that both back floor boards have standing water in them after a hard rain. They are also now water damaged.”
NHTSA complaint #10162783, filed 2006-07, 30,000 miles“There are a number of problems I have had with my 2000 olds Alero gls 4dr. The main concern is the interior dash and door paneling bubbling than eventually starting to come off. My sunroof will not open as well.”
NHTSA complaint #10109918, filed 2005-02, 60,000 miles“I purchased a 2000 Alero that currently has approximately 52.000 miles on it. Almost overnight, almost a month ago from today, the dashboard vinyl buckled, waved, and started pulling away from the dashboard. At this same time, the turn signals began to intermittently stop working completely. I have found numerous web sites where other Alero owners have had the same issues. I realize that the dashboard is cosmetic and not a safety issue. However, the turn signals are a problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10083024, filed 2004-07, 51,986 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. …”
