I went to gus paulos Chevrolet, salt lake city, ut, to schedule appointment to have blinker problem, which is a recall, fixed on my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. However, service writer advised me that GM would not fix problem. I see on NHTSA website that the problem with my car should be fixed by manufacturer. Service writer further advised me that your website and the car and driver website on internet could not be trusted with stating the truth. I just want my car fixed.

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles
My car has less than 60,000 miles and I have had constant problems, some repaired, others, the dealer and other repair shops "could not determine" the causes. Automatic windows won't work two front windows (intermittent) turn signs do not work intermittent, sometimes stop working and danger to me in traffic, air pressure light stays on and tire shop said they could not fix. This has been going on intermittently since before the warranty expired. Before that I had to have a series of other repairs done at the dealer and at a repair shop because I am not financially able to afford the labor charges at the dealer. Also the people at the dealers are not easy to deal with. I have all of my repair bills for further information. I have had to have several parts replaced in the wheels, the battery before warranty, the motor in the wiper fluid container, brakes, some part in the wheel before E the warranty was up. This car is a piece of junk and I believe the current problem has something to do with the electrical system not being manufactured correctly. I am driving a very unsafe car and believe the dealer will try to take advantage of me financially to try to correct it, if it can be corrected. I believe this car to be a lemon. The problems started with this auto within the first year I bought it. I don't have the exact date.
