2000 Oldsmobile Alero visibility problems

“WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS CAR THE BACKSEATS WERE NOT ATTACHED TO THE CAR. THE DASHBOARD IS PEALING UP ALL THE WAY AND THE PAINT IS GONE FROM MY GEAR SHIFT. BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE I HAD TO GET FIXED FOR INSPECTION COST ABOUT $300. TIRES AND BRAKES NEED REPLACED CONSTANTLY. LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BLINKERS DON'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME AND WHEN THEY DO IT IS THIS HORRIBLE LOUD CLICKING NOISE. CD PLAYER/RADIO STOP WORKING RANDOMLY. AC ONLY WORKS ON 3RD SETTING. REAR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON AND BULBS ARE BRAND NEW. TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN WITH BUTTON FROM INSIDE CAR OR KEYLESS ENTRY. MY TRUNK RANDOMLY COMES OPEN FOR NO REASON AND ONCE WOULD NOT LATCH TO SHUT FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEN RANDOMLY LATCHED SHUT. CAR LEAKS WATER IN THE FRONT AND BACK. RECENTLY MY CAR WON'T START EVERYTIME IT RAINS. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PLACE AND THEY RAN IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. NOW IT'S AT A WINDSHEILD PLACE BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAYS ITS LEAKING WATER INTO FUSE BOX. GLASS PLACE IS SAYING THAT IS NOT IT EITHER. I AM AT MY WITS END. IT DRIES OUT AND WILL…”

“TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, SHE CAN HEAR A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THE TIRE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONING NO LONGER WORKS. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THE MECHANIC HAS DONE SOMETHING TO THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING TO FAIL. SHE FEELS THAT ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY HAZARDS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 141,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. 4/01/09 *NJ UPDATED 04/06/09. *JB”

“THE PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DAMAGE, I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT MY VEHICLE BEING STOLEN AND HAVE BEEN CONCERNED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY WHILE BEING UNABLE TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW. *TR”

“I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHOSE WINDOWS JAM THAN FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE PERSONALLY PAID OVER $400 TWO TIMES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. ALSO ANOTHER INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR ARE THE BLINKER WHICH SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. JUST THIS WEEK ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE BLOWER IS NOT WORKING THEREFORE NO DEFROST IN THIS COLD WEATHER. *TR”

“I PURCHASED A 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO IN 2003, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE WINDOWS 5 TIMES, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW TWICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MASTER SWITCH WITHIN THE FIRST 45 DAYS OF PURCHASE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS. THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE CAUSES THE WINDOWS TO FALL INTO THE DOOR PANEL LEAVING ME NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR IMMEDIATELY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, FOR SAFETY REASONS AS WELL AS PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE MOLDING ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. ON ALL OCCASIONS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PARTS, RECEIPTS ARE AVAILABLE HOWEVER I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PARTS. THE LAST TIME I HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED I EXPRESSED CONCERN AT THIS CONSISTENT FAILURE, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE PERSON "SINCE GMC CHANGED TO THE CABLE WINDOWS THERE HAD BEEN SOME PROBLEMS BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL". *TR”

“VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL NOR REAR DEFROST WORKS. THE FRONT DASHBOARD COVER IS SHRINKING AND PEELING BACK OFF OF DASH AND IS ALMOST COMPLETELY OFF OF AIRBAG AREA AND THIS IS SEEN IN ALMOST EVERY ALERO BUT NOT OTHER GM MODELS”
