THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR AN HOUR AND LIED TO ME AND AFTER WAITING WITH NO RESPONSE FOR AN HOUR, I WENT TO RETRIEVE MY CAR AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY $50 TO GET 3 KEYS AS MY KEYS WERE NOT THE RIGHT ONES. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 13 YEARS AND HAVE USED THE KEYS GIVEN TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY HAVE ALWAYS WORKED AND I HAVE NEVER HAD DIFFERENT KEYS MADE. I RETRIEVED MY CAR AND KEYS AND CAME HOME. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TWICE----BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. I RECEIVED NO CALL BACKS. I THEN TRIED CALLING THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT AGENTS THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK BEFORE THE END OF BUSINESS. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL BACK. IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP ME? I AM A 72 YEAR OLD WIDOW AND HATE BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR WITH SAFETY CONCERNS AND SINCE I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 50 MILES PER YEAR, I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH BUT THAT REMAINS A POSSIBILITY SINCE NO ONE SEEMS ABLE TO HELP ME.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I WAS BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND MY FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING SNAPPED IN HALF AND DESTROYED THE TIRE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED AND REPAIRED AT A SHOP. WITH COST OF NEW TIRE IT WAS NEARLY 400 DOLLARS. JUST A FEW DAYS AGO NOW I HAD MY CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WENT TO MOVE SOME BOXES AND NOTICED A PIECE OF COIL LAYING UNDER MY CAR BY THE BACK RIGHT TIRE. THIS COIL HAS SNAPPED AS WELL WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE. I WAS LUCKY TO NOTICE IT THIS TIME BEFORE I DROVE OFF. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. THERE IS NO REASON THE COIL SPRINGS SHOULD BE RANDOMLY BREAKING LIKE THIS. *TR

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 99 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNALS/HAZARD BUTTON WHICH STARTED OUT WITH A LOUD BUZZING WHILE THE TURN SIGNALS WERE ACTIVATED. I COULD SOMETIMES GET THE BUZZING TO STOP BY PUSHING THE HAZARD BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AS THE TURN SIGNAL. NOW IT'S AT THE POINT WHERE MY SIGNALS DON'T EVEN WORK 95% OF THE TIME. I'LL START MY CAR AND THE FIRST TIME I USE THEM THEY MIGHT WORK, BUT AS SOON AS I TURN THE WHEEL THEY STOP WORKING AND DO NOT WORK FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. THE HAZARDS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED. ONLINE RESEARCH HAS PULLED UP NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : RQ04005 WHICH STATES THAT GM WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL POLICY FOR 1999-2000 ALERO SINCE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 03V327. HOWEVER, FURTHER SEARCHES HAVE FOUND THAT RQ04005 EXPIRED IN FEBRUARY 2010. THE DEFECT ACKNOWLEDGED IN RECALL 03V327 IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ISSUE ACKNOWLEDGED IN NHTSA ACTION# RQ04005, SO WHY IS THERE AN ALLOWED EXPIRATION DATE FOR THE REMEDY OF THE PROBLEM? *JS

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,213.

I HAVE A 1999 OLDSMOBILE ALERO, SEVERAL TIMES MY SECURITY LIGHTS AND CAME ON AND YOU CAN NOT START THE CAR, IT WILL FLASH FOR 10 MINUTES AND THEN HOPEFULLY IT WILL START AND NOT START FLASHING AGAIN. I HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, AND SPEND $$$$$ MANY DOLLARS AND STILL I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM , I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH NOW BECAUSE I AM SCARE THAT IT WANT START, GMC NEEDS TO DOI A RECALL . *TR
