Remedy
Delphi will notify owners and replace the upr free of charge. the recall began on april 23, 2007. owners can contact delphi at 877-411-8770.
Certain passenger vehicles have hazard warning switches that may experience solder joint cracking caused by rapid temperature transitions and the soldering process. if solder joint cracking occurs and results in an open circuit, the turn signals/hazard lamps become intermittent or inoperative.
Risk and remedy
Risk
When the turn signals are inoperative, the driver cannot use them to signal intent to turn that could result in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the hazard warning switch. owner notification began on february 5, 2004. owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, pontiac at 1-800-620-7668, or oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.
Vehicle description: certain passenger vehicles equipped with manual transaxles (rpo M86) fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 114, "theft protection." when a driver attempts to shift from 5TH gear to reverse, a shift inhibitor causes the transmission to be mechanically in 4TH gear even though the shift lever indicates reverse gear.
Risk and remedy
Risk
In this situation, the key can be removed from the ignition while the transmission IS in a forward gear, which IS not permitted by the standard.
Remedy
Dealers will disable the 5th/reverse inhibitor by removing a retaining pin and replace the shifter assembly.
Vehicle description: these vehicles do not comply with the occupant protection requirements of fmvss no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact." the console cover on these vehicles does not stay closed when a specified vertical load IS applied.

Celebrating that we want people of united states are safe and no one get injured due company and manufacturer branch of services neglecting to do the order of nhtsa recall and some owners complained about the vehicle problem that treaths to the safetiness and lives of others. Since that day till now the car was still at putnam gm burlingame my other concern by not doing my complain because they said its not a part of recall but it IS belong to the same experience effect and complain that must gives attention its fatal. If ever this vehicle goes to other if I donated or trade it and their never checked or diagnose it because their just focus on specific order some defect caused by the ignition switch and sudden stop of engine while running could cause problem and safety of others. Fixing this car helps a lot not only me safety of others and hundreds of thousands lawsuits by ignoring it. We honestly reporting the unusual defect exhibits by the xarwere not abusing to fix a damage cause by us before we did some action that they think we only want to fix ignition problem, I am telling the truth again for the safety of others the car has problem its stop while on the run, it turn around when I exiting 280 from skyline I thrown out off the road cause I can controlled it another think came across my mind why airbag not deployed that time and I'm just lucky that time some car are alert actually their one call cops that time. I hope this message will received and by their authority before I removed and trade it if they wont do action, for me I do my part to report for the safe of our future. Thank you.

While driving my 2000 oldsmobile alero with my kids in the car the steering locked up and started making lound banging noises from the under carriage then I could not make a left turn. I almost got hit head on and had to pull over and have the vehicle towed to a shop. The mechanic looked at the rack and pinion and realized that the sub frame has rusted out. And the mechanic asked me how did you even drive this car. I told him I had no clue on the severity of the problem. This sub frame IS sub par and should be recalled. In my opinion.

While driving in icy conditions, I momentarily lost traction. The power to the engine immediately shut off, causing me to lose power steering and brakes. My car spun about three times, and I finally came to a stop facing traffic. Thankfully, the road was empty, so I was not injured. I am especially worried because my car IS part of gms recall, but IS not eligible for a new ignition cylinder. Gm claims that a new key will fix my problem, but there was nothing on my key at the time of the incident, so I know this IS a lie. Gm IS continuing to endanger the lives of its customers by not fully addressing this defect. *tr

Odi opened ea 02-028 to review complaints of consumers reporting that their fuel gauge was incorrectly displaying the amount of fuel in the gas tank.the fuel gauge receives an electrical signal from a fuel tank sending sensor circuit card.a float arm in the tank moves electrical contacts that rub against the card as the level of fuel rises and falls.disruption of the electrical signal (such as caused by corrosion of the circuit card) will cause incorrect readings to register on the fuel gauge.gm reported in their response to odi dated january 13, 2003 that the primary cause of erratic fuel gauge operation IS excess elemental sulfur in fuel.gm reported that abnormal levels of sulfur sporadically occurred in certain parts of canada and the u.s. Resulting in reports of fuel gauge malfunction.gm modified the sending sensor for vehicles built after october 2000.it made a second sensor modification for vehicles built after january 2003.gm also issued a customer satisfaction campaign (gm number 00101) in december 2000 for u.s. Customers in the state of maine and issued several service bulletins informing dealers of the availability of sensors with improved corrosion resistance.the complaint trend indicates that complaints peaked in late 2000 to early 2001.warranty claims declined since peaking in april 2002.based on the number of complaints and the indication of a declining trend, further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
- Engine stall due to fuel starvation
Odi opened pe02-066 to evaluate the scope and consequence of engine power-loss due to fuel starvation induced by in-tank modular fuel pump strainer restriction.the subject pumps use an external ?sock?

Odi opened pe02-066 to evaluate the scope and consequence of engine power-loss due to fuel starvation induced by in-tank modular fuel pump strainer restriction.the subject pumps use an external ?sock? Strainer to filter fuel flowing to the pump inlet.this filter can sometimes become clogged, resulting in a reduced flow of fuel to the engine.gm has subsequently modified the strainers to reduce this restriction.analysis of the odi complaint database shows that despite these restrictions, the subject vehicles stall at a rate that IS comparable to those of many peer vehicles.additionally, none of the relevant warranty repair rates exceed 1% at 36 months of exposure.one related crash involves a stalled vehicle that was rear-ended on the roadway, while the remainder involved minor collisions or scrapes.the sole injury consisted of bruising from a low speed frontal crash. Given these circumstances, further expenditure of agency resources IS not justified in this matter.the preliminary evaluation IS therefore closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.the agency will take further action in the future if warranted.
