2001 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America

"Complete waste of money!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I purchased the car with 41,000 miles on it, and at 42,000 miles the head gasket went out.

The siding on the doors scratches very easily and is falling off.

At 57,000 miles the starter went out.

At 58,000 miles the spark plug coil started on fire causing the spark plug wires also to catch fire and be replaced. Costing me $300.00.

And now at 59,000 miles I am no longer getting any voltage to my rear turn signal.

General comments?

I have never been so disappointed in a car in my life.

It is a constant repair waiting to happen.

Every time I get it out of the shop it is going back in or having other problems.

The sensors are very sensitive. The low tire pressure light is on constantly when the tire pressure is correct.

Overall the car is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen.
