2002 olds Alero, present mileage@5/17/20-187,037. Where do I start? okay, the trunk has started to arbitrarily decide to pop open...apparently during rain/thunderstorms...I wonder if this has anything to do with the door locks recently deciding to not lock the passenger side when using switch on dr, side door...and now since the trunk's been popping open for the last 3wks, the key fob won't open the trunk, and the button on interior door to the trunk won't work either, unless the car is running(and not all the time then, either) interior door locks won't respond to the interior switch anymore..what a pain in the a**....I'm keeping a bungee cord over the spoiler to the bumper to keep the trunk closed. Fyi~I keep the car on a trickle charge to the battery24/7, since I avoid driving the thing-the passlock bs seems to cause the battery to drain since it has to sit with the key on.also carry a noco charger at all times in case I need a jump..the rust is unbelievable. Rear fenders are all but crumbled off.have to fix dr, side window now~had to fix pass. Side 2yrs ago.regulator afu, probably need new switch, window went off the track, getting good at taping them up discreetly.the aluminum rims cause slow leaks in tires, buy yourself an inflator..massive power steering leak now, brake lines replaced twice..they're under the car exposed to where they get to rust away constantly~I live in North West Ohio where it snows&rains alot, so I'm hosed. Once I mastered the passlock 2step I thought that it couldn't get any worse~but in reading all the other complaints& starting to have what may be a BCM issue, I'm not driving this thing if I don't have to! I paid my aaa dues and full coverage insurance.. oh, yeah-had that"recall" a few yrs ago and all they did was monkey around with the keys, not the ignition! I've been told a 100 times I'll need a new ignition~anybody out there have $700"?"
