2002 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Wouldn't buy another one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 2002 Alero has had few issues thus far with 156,000 miles;
The problem now is the ABS, tracs, and service lights come on when I turn hard left/right or hit a bump. The GM dealer couldn't make a good assessment of what was causing the problem.
Contributing to the problem is an electrical problem, which is also causing the starter to go out now. That's what the mechanic says.
Radio knobs painting is gone.
General comments?
The car was good so far, if I can get this problem solved.
