I am ashamed to say I own a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. I bought it last years as a back-up car, so we would have transportation should one of our newer vehicle have problems. I gave $2000 for it and have spent just as much on repairs. The turn signals only work intermittently though every fuse in it has been replaced. The anti-lock break light on the dash stays on. The front passenger strut broke and blew out the tire in the process. I was fortunate I wasn't killed when this happened. And now the heater blower has started making an awful noise, so it will likely need to be replaced soon. In addition the change oil light stays on, I have had it to numerous shops and no one can determine why it won't reset. The warning lights on the dash from all of this are a considerable distraction as well as all the problems they point to. I am appalled that in the usa we put a stamp of approval on such a horrible vehicle. In my opinion the entire vehicle should be recalled and replaced with one that runs properly. It is absurd and dangerous. I am fortunate I was not going a high speed when either strut broke...oh nearly forgot to mention that the rear driver-side strut also broke just this week. My biggest question is, who's name do I give to my lawyer when I am forced to drive this vehicle and someone is hurt? it is likely, given the hazards that come with this car that eventually something bad will happen. I just pray I won't have to drive it much.

Since purchasing the car used in 2003, I have experienced intermittent signal and hazard light failure. Recently this has affected my brake lights. The brake lights, hazards and signals will no longer work unless in cases of extreme temperature changes ( heat on full blast or A/C on full blast). Also the signal lights continue to click even when not on. [xxx]

My 1999 Oldsmobile Alero has had a major problem with 1.manifold gaskets leaking. 2. all of the windows failing by falling off the tracks or the regulator itself failing. Three times for the drivers side window! 3.the turn signals have stopped working correctly, clicking constantly. 4.the gas gauge stopped working 5. the interior leather curled up on the dash, which I notice on many other Alero's I've seen.

Both left and right turn signals fail to operate intermittently. I can get them to start working again sometimes by activating the hazard lights and then trying the turn signals again, but sometimes the hazard lights also fail to function. It sounds like a spring is releasing sometimes when turning the steering wheel and then the turn signals fail afterward. The hazard switch became stuck and was replaced by the olds dealer back in 2001 or 2002. After that I could hear a mechanical noise in the steering column whenever I turned the wheel in either direction and when I complained to the dealer they said a spring had come loose and there was no safety issue and that it would cost $250 to repair, so I let it go and never repaired.
