2004 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"It is a money Pitt!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The day I got the car I had to replace the rear breaks. and have already replaced front and rear breaks since then. I have owned it since July of 07 (7 months). The woman I bought the car from said that the cell phone outlet had never worked. As I explored the dash I realized that certain dash lights like radio lights were not showing. The over head light comes on sometimes, but not always. I figured it to be just a fuse that I could replace easily. Upon close inspection I found melted and shorted out wires behind the dash. I replaced the wires and got a new radio. I have to service the thing more often than most cars. This time I had to take it to the mechanic. I had to replace a baring today. I am sick of this car. Every other month it is a trip to the mechanic. The interior is cheap and hard to clean. I totally will not buy another Oldsmobile.
General comments?
I like the general appearance of the car.
However, it is not worth the maintenance and trouble.
I will not recommend Oldsmobile cars beacause of my experiences with this one.
