Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Hazard and turn signals intermittently fail; same as the 2001...there was a recall for this issued on the 2001, but not the 2002? I lose my turn signals approximately 2-3 times per 10 mile trip. I have not been involved in an accident due to this malfunction...yet. No repairs seem to fix the problem. The incident date is the last time this problem occurred (I haven't driven the car for a few days), but it has actually been going on for over 2 years. Apparently this is a common problem with the Alero's reguardless of the model year. …”

“With only 73,000+ miles on my 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, both my left and right front hub bearings are worn out. This is an item that, at least, should last 100,000 miles. Furthermore, my supervisor's 2001 Oldsmobile intrigue with 81,000 miles has the same issues.”

NHTSA complaint #10032759, filed 2003-08

“I purchased a 2002 Alero from the dealership. It had a certified sticker and a warranty on the window. After signing all papers and putting $2,000 down on it, the sales man informed me that there was no warranty due to the age of the veh. About a month later, I began having issues with it. 9-5-07 the brakes were squeaking and making loud noises. I had the dealership repair it under warranty. On 9-10-07, the front wheels began to shake and heard a loud noise as if the wheels were going to fall off. This happened by the dealership as I was going to work. I dropped it off and it was repaired. …”
