NHTSA Complaint #10151063 — 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO

ON WEDNESDAY, FEB 8, 2006 THREE LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY CAR AT THE SAME TIME. THEY ARE 'SERVICE VEHICLE SOON, TRAC OFF, & ANTI-LOCK'. THESE LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED COMING ON SINCE. WEEK BEFORE THESE LIGHTS HAD CAME ON. I HAD NEW HUB BEARINGS PUT ON MY CAR. THEN ONCE THIS WAS DONE ABOUT 3-4 DAYS LATER THESE LIGHTS CAME. I HAVE TAKEN TWO 3 GARAGES TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT AND THEY WHICH THEY HAVE PUT A COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO MY CAR TO CHECK FOR ANY CODES WHILE THE LIGHTS WERE ON. THERE WERE NO CODES SHOWING FOR MY CAR. YESTERDAY, TUESDAY, FEB 14, 2006, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE WHICH I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE IN AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH TWO PUMPS TO THE BARKES.CAME TO A STOP. . IF THERE WERE TO BE SOMEONE AHEAD OF ME I WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED THIS PERSON OR MAYBE EVEN ROLLED RIGHT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE INTERSECTION. AS I SURF THIS WEB SIT I FIND THEY SAME PROBLEMS OTHER PEOPLE HAD OR HAVING THE SAME SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR GM VEHICLES RECENTLY. I WAS GIVEN AN 800 NUMBER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS I JUST CALLED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL OF THIS SORT LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT SEEMS OFF THAT KNOW FIVE PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, IN THE SAME PLACE OF WORK HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR GM VEHICLE AND ONLY ONE WAS COVERED. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE ITEM TO BE REPLACED AND SINCE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL INVOLVED, THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL AND NOT OUT OF OUR POCKET. *CA *NM
