Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 alero (2 dr. coupe) i have been on several sites and am finding many alero owners having the same problems that i have encountered over the last couple of years. fuel pump, wheel hub assemblies, intake manifold gaskets, power window failure(grinding/breaking clips/regulators), serv engine and traction control lights constantly on, electrical problems, brake problems etc. it is my belief that olds knew they weren't making this car anymore, and sent a sub-par product out into the market "hoping" to get away with as few recalls as possible. i have numerous complaints filed with olds and general motors. general motors has gone way out and offered me a $500.00 certificate towards the purchase of a new vehicle. give me one reason i should go through another nightmare like this one. recalls have never been issued on any of these complaints because it would probably cost millions of dollars for them to fix the problems. i constantly wait to see if any class action suits involving these vehicles occurs as i will be one of the first to jump in. what's the saying..."if it looks like dog crap and smells like dog crap don't step in it, it's probably dog crap". there's a defined problem with these vehicles and gm should be taking responsibility for them. *jb
