2000 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"Sexy, safe, and reliable! I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The turn signals occasionally just stop working, nothing at all happens. Not so good when there is a cop behind you.
Drivers side latch to let the seat down (I have a coupe) gets stuck so you can't let the person out or in on the passenger side without pushing the seat up. Same goes for the seat adjustment; they occasionally stick too.
The check engine light comes on a lot for no reason, so I just let it stay on.
General comments?
I really love this car! This past December I was in a bad accident and the car was "totaled" but I bought it back and repaired it very inexpensively (The side bowed). But my mother and I walked out with just whiplash. The car is strong and durable.
The pros of this car definitely out weigh the cons. Great pick up and go. Love it!
