2000 Oldsmobile Alero Airbags Problems

TAKATA RECALL, FOLLOWUP AND CONCERN. TODAY IS I WANT TO GREET EVERY ONE A HAPPY 4 OF JULY. 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.

I HAVE A 2000 OLDSMOB ILE ALERO WHICH WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AGO. IT WAS PRIMARILY A FRONT END CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNING IN FRONT OF ME AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT,WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A SENSOR OR INFLATER PROBLEM. BOTH AIRBAGS ON THE OTHER CAR DEPLOYED. I WONDER IF THIS HAPPENED ON SIMILAR VEHICLES? THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A BODY SHOP, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO DETERMINE IF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM WAS FLAWED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING INTO A GAS STATION IN MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERA AT ABOUT 2 TO 6 MILES AN HOUR MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I HIT NOTHING NOR DID I FALL INTO A HOLE IN THE ROAD. SINCE THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE BAGS TO DEPLOY I WROTE OLDSMOBILE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD G ROBERT WAGONER, JR REQUESTING ASSISTANCE. HIS STAFF HAVE STONE WALLED MY EFFORTS TO GET ASSISTANCE. I WAS SENT TO SULLIVAN OLDSMOBILE FOR INSPECTION. THE INSPECTION WAS AT BEST USELESS. THEY DID NOT PUT THE VEHICLE ON A LIFT TO CHECK THE UNDERCARRIAGE YET THEY TELL ME THE BAGS DEPLOYED BECAUSE OF THIS. THEY SAID THEY TOOK DIGITAL PICTURES, BUT WERE UNABLE TO SHOW THEM TO ME. I STOPPED ON MY WAY HOME AT A LOCAL GARAGE HAD THEM PUT IT ON A LIFT AND CHECK THE SENSORS WHICH WERE NOT DAMAGED. OLDSMOBILE WAS STILL NOT INTERESTED SO I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER OLDSMOBILE DEALER WHO ALSO PUT IT ON A LIFT AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THE BAGS DEPLOYED. OLDSMOBILE IN DETROIT CONTINUES TO GO BACK TO SULLIVAN'S INSPECTION IGNORING THE TWO INSPECTIONS THAT SHOWED NO REASON. OLDSMOBILE HAS DENIED ME ANY COMPENSATION.*AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH AT 55MPH WITH A GAURD RAIL AFTER BEING CUT OFF ON AN INTERSTATE. THE BODY SHOP MANAGER OF WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BASED ON THE IMPACT AND THE DAMAGE TO THE M/V THE GENERAL MANAGER, SERVICE MANAGER AND BODY SHOP MANAGER FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR CONFIRMED THIS TO BE TRUE AS WELL. AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT I HAVE UNDERGONE SURGERY AND PHYSICAL THERAPY (9 MONTHS WORTH), I WAS FURTHER INFORMED BY THE INSRANCE COMPANIES INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAMINER THAT THE INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR LESS SEVERE IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND THAT I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. FURTHERMORE I HAVE PICTURE OF THE M/V SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND PICTURES PROVING THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY SHOULD YOU REQUIRE THEM.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APROX 15-20MPH AND REAR ENDED A LARGE SUV (SURBURBAN). SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE FRONT END OF THE ALERO WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE SUV. ESTIMATE OF DAMAGE IS $5200 INDICATING MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO VEHICLE. AIR BAG SYSTEM DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY ONLY MINOR INJURY (LARGE BUMP ON FOREHEAD FROM CONTACT WITH ROOF OF VEHICLE, SEAT BELT BURNS AND BRUISES) WAS INCURRED BY DRIVER OF THE ALERO. MY QUESTION IS WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY TO LESSEN THIS IMPACT. THERE HAS BEEN OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WONDERING IF THERE IS A DEFECT OR DAMAGE TO AIR BAG SYSTEM FROM EARLIER SERVICES? *AK
