2001 Oldsmobile Alero DL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
If your Alero won't start except after it has been towed -- stop paying for a tow. The dealers won't tell you, but there is a temporary fix. Turn the key to On until the dash lights blink. If the Security light stays on, that means your SureLock system is bad. Just leave the key turned until the light goes out -- about 10 minutes. When it flashes and then goes out, wait a few seconds and try to restart the car. It's worked for me several times.
