I was contacted at aleroupgrades reference the problem listed below. Don't really have a place for it on my site and he okayed me to post it here with his email addy. So if any of you are having the same problem, let him know or contact GM.

Would you consider putting the following on your website, or at least put a
link to this? I need people to contact GM to get them to get a recall on the
inline antenna on the Oldsmobile Alero. GM knows that the inline antenna’s
are faulty and they discontinued them. I would greatly appreciate it if you
could help me out. Feel free to change the following request to your liking.
Thank you.

Alero’s Inline Antenna Problems
My 1999 Oldsmobile Alero Sedan came with an Inline antenna. (The antenna
that is built into the rear window). The radio reception is very poor with
the vehicle. When ever I go under a bridge or go slightly out of distance,
the radio reception is overcome by white noise. Even worse, when I turn on
my rear defroster, all I hear is white noise. I recently spoke with a
customer service representative at Oldsmobile about my antenna not working
correctly. She said. “Oldsmobile has discontinued the design of the Inline
Antenna due to the issue.” I asked if the part has been recalled for the
vehicle. Her reply was “There has not been enough complains for GM to be
able to recall the antenna.” PLEASE ANYONE with the same issues, CONTACT GM
so we can get a recall on the product. Don’t let GM get away with giving us
faulty devices, and knowing that it’s faulty. (hence the reason they
discontinued it.) If you need more info E-Mail me at
Brentblawat@hotmail.com.
Contact GM
Yes, GM still will respond to your inquiries about Oldsmobile Vehicles. Just
because they discontinued Oldsmobile line, doesn’t mean that GM won’t fix
the issue. Write to the following address if you are experiencing the same
issue. Make sure to mention the white noise sound when you write them.
