Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 oldsmobile alero - defective theft deterrent system: i have owned this car 2 years and have had to get the ignition replaced 3 times because the theft deterrent system keeps periodically believing that the car is being "stolen" and shuts the car down. most times, you can't get the ignition key to even turn in the ignition. at other times, the starter just turns over but won't crank. not to mention that each time this has happened, the expense involved in having to get the car towed to the oldsmobile dealership, as well as the inconvenience of having your car running fine one moment and suddenly, with no warning whatsoever, having your car completely shut down. oldsmobile, gm, or somebody needs to recall these cars and fix this defective theft deterrent system. *jb
