2000 Oldsmobile Alero Electrical System Problems

I OWN THIS CAR FOR 3 WEEKS ALREADY AND IT STARTS TURN IT OFF WHILE DRIVING I CHANGE SOME SENSOR ALREADY BUT I READ ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND I THINK THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTO BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKS OK FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE SWITCH, BUT THE INSIDE IDK

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY, THE RPM GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, THE THERMOSTAT NEEDLE RAPIDLY FLICKERED UP AND DOWN THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WON'T START, THE INSTRUMENT GAUGES MOVE BY THEMSELVES WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NOW THE CAR HAS ZERO POWER. . THIS CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BE RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE ANTI-THEFT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS CONFISCATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

TAKATA RECALL, SINCE THE CAR HAS A IGNITION PROBLEM AND IT IS AT THE PUTNAM GM BURLINGAME TILL NOW THEY DON'T DO ANY OF RECALL EVEN DIAGNOSE THE CAR AND THEY WANT ME TO REMOVE IT NOW OR I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT DIFFERENT FROM THE MANUFACTURE CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS LAST TUESDAY WHEN I TOW THAT CAR TO THEIR PLACE AFTER I TELL TO THEM THE SITUATION THEY SAID THEY TAKING CARE OF IT, NOW THEY CHANGE. I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE I HAVE A OLDER CAR AND NO VALUE THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR AND THE DAMAGE COULD BE MADE TO OTHERS. I CAN'T. DRIVE THAT CAR NOT SAFE.I CAN'T WORK WITHOUT CAR PLEASE HELP . I'M NOT ASKING TO FIX THE PAINT OR WHEEL. JUST CHECK WHAT THEY HAVE TO FIX STOPPING OF ENGINE AND HARD TO START CAUSE BY IGNITION AND THE AIRBAG MUST WORK PROPERLY.

TAKATA RECALL, FOLLOWUP AND CONCERN. TODAY IS I WANT TO GREET EVERY ONE A HAPPY 4 OF JULY. CELEBRATING THAT WE WANT PEOPLE OF UNITED STATES ARE SAFE AND NO ONE GET INJURED DUE COMPANY AND MANUFACTURER BRANCH OF SERVICES NEGLECTING TO DO THE ORDER OF NHTSA RECALL AND SOME OWNERS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE VEHICLE PROBLEM THAT TREATHS TO THE SAFETINESS AND LIVES OF OTHERS. SINCE THAT DAY TILL NOW THE CAR WAS STILL AT PUTNAM GM BURLINGAME MY OTHER CONCERN BY NOT DOING MY COMPLAIN BECAUSE THEY SAID ITS NOT A PART OF RECALL BUT IT IS BELONG TO THE SAME EXPERIENCE EFFECT AND COMPLAIN THAT MUST GIVES ATTENTION ITS FATAL. IF EVER THIS VEHICLE GOES TO OTHER IF I DONATED OR TRADE IT AND THEIR NEVER CHECKED OR DIAGNOSE IT BECAUSE THEIR JUST FOCUS ON SPECIFIC ORDER SOME DEFECT CAUSED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH AND SUDDEN STOP OF ENGINE WHILE RUNNING COULD CAUSE PROBLEM AND SAFETY OF OTHERS. FIXING THIS CAR HELPS A LOT NOT ONLY ME SAFETY OF OTHERS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS LAWSUITS BY IGNORING IT. WE HONESTLY REPORTING THE UNUSUAL DEFECT EXHIBITS BY THE XARWERE NOT ABUSING TO FIX A DAMAGE CAUSE BY US BEFORE WE DID SOME ACTION THAT THEY THINK WE ONLY WANT TO FIX IGNITION PROBLEM, I AM TELLING THE TRUTH AGAIN FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS THE CAR HAS PROBLEM ITS STOP WHILE ON THE RUN, IT TURN AROUND WHEN I EXITING 280 FROM SKYLINE I THROWN OUT OFF THE ROAD CAUSE I CAN CONTROLLED IT ANOTHER THINK CAME ACROSS MY MIND WHY AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED THAT TIME AND I'M JUST LUCKY THAT TIME SOME CAR ARE ALERT ACTUALLY THEIR ONE CALL COPS THAT TIME.

DURING THE EXTREME COLD PERIOD THIS PAST WINTER, THE HORN PAD ON MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED AN ISSUE WHERE THE HORN STUCK ON DURING THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING. CIRCUIT HAD TO BE DISABLED IN ORDER TO SILENCE THE HORN. THIS IS PART OF THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND CANNOT BE EASILY, OR INEXPENSIVELY REPAIRED, SO THE VEHICLE IS WITHOUT A WORKING HORN. IN CHECKING FEEDBACK SITES ON THE ALERO, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN COMMON ISSUE WITH AGING ALEROS THAT ARE LEFT OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT IN SUB-FREEZING WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR
