2002 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"Would Never Get One Again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My dashboard is waving and bubbling. My crank shaft just went up on it and left me stranded. Fuses keep blowing left and right which left my heater out of commission this past winter for a few days. I occasionally hear squealing coming from my air condioning unit, like the fan blower is hitting something inside the dash. My brakes grind, but I can't even afford to look into that now. When it rains real bad, it will keep making chirping noises. The kind of chirping noises your car makes when you lock it with your key less remote.
General comments?
I love the look of my Alero, but I am getting REAL disappointed in having to keep putting more & more $$ into a 2 year old car!
