Hard starting. Vehicle just keeps on cranking but does not start unless you pump accelerator several times. This happens daily, - every time you attempt to start the vehicle. We also have a problem with the hazard warning switch and directional lights, - police flashed me down and gave verbal warning.

I was switching lanes and flashed my turn signal to switch lane. When I let go of the turn signal, the relay behind the hazard light button started to click like the turn signal was still on. This is an intermittent click and is not consistent. Sometimes it clicks fast and sometimes it clicks slow. I found recall 03V327000 and thought this was the problem. The dealership performed this recall and the click is still occurring. I have read that there has been issues with multi-function switches in other GM vehicles which causes a clicking of the hazard light button. Also, the key is getting warm when it is in the ignition. I am afraid this constant clicking of the relay will cause the turn signals from working which could result in an accident.

On my 2001 Oldsmobile Alero, the turn signal/hazard light becomes intermittent and/or inoperative during temperature variations. The dealer and General Motors refuse to replace without cost because this vehicle is apparently not included in GM recall no. 03043.

- Sterling Heights, MI, USA

Turn signals stop working intermittently, no warning that they will not work. I have pushed the hazard button in and out and this sometimes helps. Very dangerous, I have gone miles out of my way because I can't make a turn safely without being able to signal.

- Hubertus, WI, USA

My 2001 Oldsmobile Alero had numerous failures of the turn signals and hazard warning flasher. Both systems either worked or failed simultaneously. The failures appeared to be random, I.e., there was no particular pattern. I became aware of a recall (NHTSA: 03V327000) and contacted the manufacturer, who informed me that my vehicle isn't one affected based on its VIN.

- Nashville, MI, USA

Recall 03V327000 concerning hazard warning switch. The turn signals/hazard lamps became inoperative while driving at any speed. Dealer was notified, and replaced the hazard switch. Consumer was concerned that she did not receive this recall notice.

- Appleton, WI, USA

The technician informed the consumer about a recall on the vehicle, but the consumer never received a notice from the manufacturer. The vehicle would not start right away. There would be several tries but the vehicle would never "crank over." The engine vibrated when the A/C was used, the fuel gauge was inoperative, the front windows would not roll down, the rear handles felt like they were sticking, there was a burnt oil smell, and after several times of starting the vehicle it would run rough. The master switch, A/C compressor, crank sensor, fuel pump, fuel tank, hazard switch, and the window regulator were replaced. The mechanics repositioned a wire harness from the crank sensor and replaced the pressure control solenoid. The turn signals stopped working in traffic in which there was almost an accident. The antenna was replaced because the radio signal would go out every time the rear defroster was used (this did not solve the problem). The back window had to be completely replaced to solve the antenna problem. The water pump was replaced because the seal for the coolant leaked.

- Saint Augustine, FL, USA

Turn signal and four way flashers failed intermittently. Dealer stated flasher unit needed to be replaced. The turn signals worked only 50% of the time since purchase. The hazard lights never worked. Dealer stated the vehicle should had been bought in before 10,000 miles. Consumer was quoted $250 dollars to repair the turn signals and flashers. The service manager informed the consumer that the hazard lights, turn signal and back up lights are in one unit. So when one fails, they all fail.

I recently read of the hazard light/turn signal recall on 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. My vehicle has this defect and is a serious safety concern. I contacted Oldsmobile and was told that my vehicle even though it has this effect is not covered by the recall. If they are doing a recall my vehicle should be covered considering their company has placed the life of my family in danger.
