Have you at all serviced the automatic gear box? one possibility is the gear box.Also the vibration is either broken gear box or engine mountings broken or weak.

SOURCE: 03 Oldsmobile alero vibration will running

I just had my fuel pump replaced on my 2003 Oldsmobile Alero 2.2 4 door sedan and I've been having problems with my car starting. When it finally turns over and starts it drives fine. Now it's been shutting off in the middle of driving. When it does this it starts right back up. Diagnostics reported: Bank 1 Sensor 1 02 Sensor Fault and Air valve high idle fault. Any suggestions?

SOURCE: 2000 Alero idles low and dies when stopped.

How does it idle when you first start or idle when hot.
On the top of the air intake tube there is a small screw which should when screwed in speed up the idle and if it dosent work or it idles fine when cold or warm at idle then its your GEARs are binding up and there's not to much you can do about that ........sorry

WHY IS MY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING BAD WHEN DRIVING AT A LOWER SPEED AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A HELICOPTER WHEN IM DRIVING . I THINK ITS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR

Have your wheels checked for balance. That is the small weights on the rims. If it is not balanced, you will feel the steering wheel vibrate. It can also be a bend rim. Have the tires checked at a tire shop.

Are you using high grade gasoline? No ETHANOL mixture! Give it a try, it may get back to normal.

Steering wheel vibrates when Im stopped at a light

You may have front brake rotors which are slightly warped. The ABS only comes into play under very hard brakeing conditions. Typically you may also feel a slight pulse in the brake pedal as you slow down.That would be my best guess.If you have a vibration when you are stopped, that may be a motor mount issue. Either the front and/or rear mount may be weak.They are designed to isolate small engine vibrations you might feel when the car is at a stand still The motor mounts are designed to isolate small engine vibrations at a stand still at idle as well as limit the amount of travel the engine can make under a load. As a car gets older, the rubber which is what the mounts are made of get harder and often collapse slightly and can cause your condition because they are no longer plyable.Maybe this might shed some light on your problem. Good luck.

My car is making an awful groaning grinding noise noise when it starts. The noise stops after it starts. Put my foot on the brake it starts again. put thr car in reverse no problem put it in,drive it...

It's your exhaust mounts or broken exhaust bolts. It does it in drive st idle n under load because the motor is sitting in rubber mounts made to dampen vibration. Therefore the motor tilts to the left in reverse pulling the exhaust away from your under carraige, and to the right in drive causing the loose exhaust to vibrate against something. Check your heat shields also. They fall apart n do the same noise. Piece of cake.

I have a 2004 alero and when I press on the brakes to stop at a red light or stop sign a vibration occurs and it's loud but when I put it in park it stops vibrating. What can I do about this problem?

Sounds like you have warped rotors and or a lose caliper mounting bolt . When you stop do you feel a vibration in the brake peddle or in the steering wheel or both ? IF you feel the pulsation in the brake peddle I would suspect a brake pad / brake rotor problem . Now if you do not feel it in either and the vibration is through the whole car with out the brakes being applied i would think it may be related to and engine/drive line problem (motor mount /trans mount /axle problem)

1999 Alero stalling and trac off light coming on

does the rpm motor kick down? you may need to check your vacuum hoses, and also you may want to check your exaust, sounds wierd but that can cause the car to stall at times.as for the traction light, your hitting the brakes to hard. try slowing down a little slower while stopping, and keep distance for saftey.. if you can take it a little slower at lights and turns, without braking hard and it stops stalling.
