NHTSA Complaint #10222124 — 2003 OLDSMOBILE ALERO

BOUGHT THIS 2003 OLDS ALERO IN 2005 WITH ORIGINAL WARRANTY STILL IN FORCE, ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE HAD DASH PEELED BACK AND MATERIAL OVER GLOVE BOX PEELED WHEN PURCHASED, ALSO CRACKED PLASTIC ON BACK PASSENGER SIDE. MOLDING AROUND WINDSHIELD WAS COMING OFF AND HAS SINCE BLOWN AWAY. HAD TO PURCHASE BATTERY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND 4 NEW TIRES AFTER PURCHASE. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED TO GET INTERIOR ITEMS REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THEY DID NOT DO WARRANTY WORK ON THIS BRAND OF VEHICLE, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CALL ANOTHER DEALER WHO SOLD THIS TYPE OF CAR. I DID AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THESE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, RUNNING LIGHTS ONLY ONE WAS WORKING, FOUND OUT IT HAD BEEN FIXED AND THE BRACKET UNDER WHICH HELD THE LIGHT WAS BROKEN. WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. NOW 2008 AND ALL ITEMS STILL BROKEN SINCE I DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPAIR, ALSO CAR PULLS TO LEFT, AND BRAKES ARE GRINDING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS MANY PROBLEMS BEFORE AT LEAST 75,000 MILES. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE. *TR
