2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO — Complaint #1135480

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS filed December 2, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1135480 (ODI reference 10654351) concerns a 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO and was filed on December 2, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 1, 2014. The report was geocoded to Kentucky based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same OLDSMOBILE ALERO cohort independently describe similar exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 OLDSMOBILE ALERO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
