2003 Oldsmobile Alero CX review from North America
"One Big Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front strut mounts have been replaced twice, once after 3 months and again after 12 months.
The latch on my passengers seat broke once. The seat couldn't stay in the upright position so I couldn't have passengers.
My drivers side window has come out of the track twice, the motor for the automatic window works, but the window won't go up.
The vertical paneling my drivers side and passenger side door have been replace.
General comments?
The performance of the car appears to be okay, however it's just all the other stuff that breaks.
Either the dealership isn't fixing it properly or the parts are just poorly manufactured.
