| Dt: beginning in november 2004 the consumer began to have problems with the electrical system in the 2004 oldsmobile alero. when the vehicle was purchased the air bag light came on. the consumer was concerned that the air bag light will cause the air bags not to deploy in case of an accident. also, she was concerned that the air bags would deploy when there was no accident. the vehicle has been to the repair shop 6 times due to brake problems.. when the vehicle had 20,000 miles it had to have the rotors turned and brake shoes replaced. the brakes were still making a humming noise. the dealership could not figure out why the vehicle was having problems with the air bag light or with the brakes.*ak the cruise control, door panels, windows were inoperative. the transmission or front axle seal was leaking, the blinkers were blinking too fast, the windshield was leaking, the carpet lining was coming out of the trunk, the engine made a knocking noise, the back trim around the seats didn't fit properly, the ignition switch was replaced, the fuse box was replaced. *jb | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the driver's seat is not properly secured to the floor. the seat moves back and forth while driving. the dealer replaced the seat riser underneath the seat. this did not remedy the problem. the dealership determined the actual floor of the vehicle was defective. the dealership temporarily fixed this by inserting foam rubber between the seat riser and the floor. *ak | |||
