- Fuel pump changed after 100K KM
- Clutch cylinder changed after 110K KM
- Complete clutch assembly changes after 130K KM (for $2500)
- At least 10 repairs to the windshield washer system and pump.
- Replaced both from tires after 5K KM because of excessive vibrations.

General comments?
Car very unreliable, should not have been sold on the market. Poor service from the dealership; often the dealer is unable to fix the problems. Every Alero should be recalled by GM.
