What owners wrote
Vehicle experienced electrical problems, such as the turn signal lights came on periodically, and the windows worked intermittently. Consumer took vehicle back to the dealer, and had also contacted the manufacturer, who was no help at all. The consumer stated that the vehicle still has electrical problems. The consumer was told that the elecrical wiring was replaced but when inspected the old wire was found still in the vehicle.
I own a 2003 oldsmobile alero that has an intermittent problem with the turn signals/hazard switch. The turn signals will fail to operate without prior notification. Last friday this almost resulted in an rear-end accident as I was making a left turn from a two lane highway. When I referred to alero problems and fixes I noticed recall id#32353. This is the exact problem that occurred with the 1999-2001 olds alero.
