2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America

The only things to have ever gone wrong with this car for me is the blower motor just went recently at 95,000 miles. I am reading that this is somewhat of a common problem but it was a cheap fix only 80 dollars for a new one. Over this past summer my window regulator went. This was my own fault because during the winter when my windows were frozen I forced the window down. I knew that it was off track since then and never bothered to have anyone look at it. This was also a cheap fix. A little over a hundred dollars. Also had a problem where the trac off kept turning on and the anti lock brake light kept turning on too. I disconnected the traction system until I could afford to fix the problem and had no problems. This was a more expensive fix at a little over $200 and I know this is a common problem with this car because I know many other's who own Alero's who have had this same problem.

This car has over all treated me very well. I treat my car like it's my child. Oil changes every 3,000 miles. I don't do a lot of city driving mainly all highway driving. It handles awesome I took a corner going 50 MPH racing someone and it handled amazing. The ride is a little bumpy but what do you expect from a sporty car. This is no Buick Park Avenue but when I purchased this car I was looking for something sportier and reliable. I never read any of these comments about this car until recently. Some of them are just awful. I do not believe this is a bad car to own at all. I have had no major problems with this car at all in the last three years I owned it. Honestly I would buy another Alero if I could however they are no longer made. This car has been nothing but reliable. When there are other's that I know that on the coldest day of the year in Wisconsin their cars will not start and mine will I know that this is a car to be proud of. I love my Alero and stand behind it 100%
