Some Oldsmobile Alero owners report experiencing issues with the vehicle's security system, particularly with the GM Passlock System, which can lead to difficulties starting the vehicle. Additionally, there are reports of problems with the horn assembly, necessitating inspection or replacement to ensure proper functionality. A common culprit for starting failures is a faulty Passlock sensor, which may require attention and potential replacement. In some instances, owners have found that resetting the Passlock security system can resolve starting problems without the need for tools or immediate replacement. It is advisable for owners to consult a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and appropriate action to maintain the vehicle's safety and functionality.
