What owners report
I OWN THIS CAR FOR 3 WEEKS ALREADY AND IT STARTS TURN IT OFF WHILE DRIVING I CHANGE SOME SENSOR ALREADY BUT I READ ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND I THINK THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTO BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKS OK FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE SWITCH, BUT THE INSIDE IDK
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY, THE RPM GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO, THE THERMOSTAT NEEDLE RAPIDLY FLICKERED UP AND DOWN THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WON'T START, THE INSTRUMENT GAUGES MOVE BY THEMSELVES WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NOW THE CAR HAS ZERO POWER. . THIS CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO BE RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE ANTI-THEFT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS CONFISCATED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.
THE CAR WILL TURN OVER BUT WONT START. IT'S NOT GETTING SPARK. RAN IT TO TEST CODES. CAME BACK AS TPS. CHANGED IT AND IT ALL WON'T START. WAS TOLD POSSIBLY A RECALL ON THE IGNITION.
KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION NOW I CAN'T EVEN TURN THE CAR ON TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF- BEEPING WILL NOT STOP WHEN KEY IS REMOVED AND CAR BATTERY DRAINED. KEY ALSO GETS HOT WHEN IN IGNITION
