Ok those are all Alero recurent problems:

Rear defrost resistor plug probly melted in the module (that controls both the radio antenna and the rear defroster) to solve the problem look for the module behind the trim btw the rear window and the back passenger side window. You'll probly have to swap for a new module and solder a new wire with the connector in there.

- My turn signals go crazy (I call it machine gun turn signals) and sometimes do not work at all. This only happens sometimes. Never really consistent. Hazard switch recall at GM

- Sometimes when I am backing up, the lights on my dash come on (abs off, trac off, service vehicle soon). I can turn off the car and restart it and they will disappear. Sounds like a bad wheel bearing or speed sensor, in the bearing

- Lately, my car has been idling rather low. It seems to be off and on. When I start the car and leave it in park, it idles at approx. 1000 rpm's. Then sometimes when I am driving and come to a stop at a light or sign, it may go down and idle at 500 rpm's. When I proceed to take off from the light it seems to be a little sluggish and then jerks and pops into gear. I changed the air filter last night, thinking that maybe not enough air was getting to the engine, but it seems to still be happening. Seems normal for an automatic

- My radio gets horrible signal. I hardly get any stations. When I use the seek function, it finds nothing. Probly related with the rear defroster not working, since the radio antenna is actually the rear defroster in the back glass in our cars, and that the module is probly shot like a lot does after a while, thats why you have a bad signal.

- My service engine soon light comes on from time to time. I took it by Advanced Auto Parts and they ran the handheld on it and said it was a "Pedal Position Sensor: Bad Input"....not sure exactly what the heck this means. I dont know, do you have cruise control? I dont know about this, but logically the only thing that really needs a pedal position sensor is the cruise control in my opinion
