2004 Oldsmobile Alero Lighting Problems

2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON IS PUSHED BACK WHERE HE WAS UNABLE TO ACTIVE MY HAZARD LIGHTS IF NEEDED. ALSO, THERE WERE SOME UNIDENTIFIED LIGHTS STUCK ON THE DASHBOARD. *MW

THE TURN SIGNALS ON MY 2004 ALERO GOES IN AND OUT ALL OF THE TIME. THE HAZARDS WILL WORK BUT NO TURN SIGNALS. IT IS VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T SEE THAT I'M TURNING OR CHANGING LANES. I ALSO GOT PULLED OVER FOR NOT USING MY BLINKER BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T WORK. ALSO MY HORN HASN'T WORKED FOR A LONG TIME. THAT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

BLINKER INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. I WILL GO TO SIGNAL A LANE CHANGE AND THE BLINKER WILL NOT WORK. THEN RANDOMLY IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO SIGNAL MY LANE CHANGE AND IT CAUSES ME TO BREAK THE LAW. *TR

VEHICLE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE HAZARD LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNALS WILL STOP FUNCTIONING GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AND WILL RANDOMLY START FUNCTIONING AGAIN. OFTEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC I WILL BE UNABLE TO SIGNAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS WELL AS CAUSES THE VEHICLE'S OPERATOR TO INADVERTENTLY BREAK TRAFFIC LAWS. I BELIEVE THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS RECALLED IN THE SAME MAKE, AND MODEL, BUT AN EARLIER YEAR. I THINK THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER LATER MODEL YEARS, BECAUSE THE ISSUE CONTINUED INTO THE LATER MODEL YEARS. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND MANY OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS BECAME OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I OWN A 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. RECENTLY, THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, OCCASIONALLY, OR SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I HAVE VIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF OWNERS VIA THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED VIA THE MAKERS OF MY VEHICLE THAT THE YEAR MY VEHICLE WAS MADE, THE PROBLEM, "IF ANY" WERE FIXED. I FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN WORK ORDERS TO ALLOW THE YEARS BEFORE 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE FOR THIS SAME MALFUNCTION. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL PART PROVIDERS, AND THIS PART IS UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND FOR "FEE", THEY FIRST HAVE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, BEFORE THEY CAN TELL ME IF THEY ARE ABLE TO GET THE PART AND IF THEY CAN FIX IT. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE FOR ME AS A DRIVER, BUT ALSO FOR DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS WHO MAY BE UNSURE OF MY TURNING INTENTIONS. ALSO, IN THE EVENT I AM STRANDED IN MY VEHICLE, I CAN'T USED MY HAZARD LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE AS A WHOLE IS IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION, AND I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF NEEDING TO REPLACE IT, JUST BECAUSE OF THE TURNING SIGNALS. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED, AND FROM THE PREVIOUS FREE SERVICES GIVEN FOR THE OTHER MODELS, WE WHO OWN THE 2004 MODELS ARE HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, SO THEY CAN REGROUP THE PREVIOUS FREE WORK GIVEN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS A CONSUMER. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR DILIGENCE, IN PRODUCT AND PUBLIC SAFETY. *TR

THE TURN SIGNAL LAMPS BECOME INTERMITTENT OR INOPERATIVE. THIS IS AN ACTUAL RECALL ON 1999 TO 2001 MODELS BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT ON THE 2002 THROUGH 2004 MODELS. I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT YET HAD IT REPAIRED. *TR

THE TURN SIGNAL IS BROKEN. MAKES NOISE WHEN IN A NEUTRAL, NOT ON, POSITION. HAZARD SWITCH SOLDER JOINT IS CRACKING CAUSING THE TURN SIGNAL TO ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

SAME PROBLEM AS THE 1999- 2002 MALIBU, GRAND AM, AND ALERO WITH INTERMITTENT TURN SIGNALS DUE TO THE HAZARD SWITCH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. WHILE DRIVING (MPH UNKNOWN) HE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE WHEN HE ACTIVATED THE TURN SIGNAL. IN ADDITION, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS: SWITCH (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #03V327000) HOWEVER, THE 2004 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE SWITCH INTERRUPTER WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,203 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,150.
