1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America

"The Money Pit"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had to replace both wheel bearings in front after having the car for about 5 months and cost was $250.00 each.

Had to replace broken window regulator on driver's side after about 6 months and cost was $200.00.

Something odd is going on right now. My traction will turn off on it's own without pushing the button after I've driven a long distance. No one really knows what's wrong with it cause after it sits for a while it's fine again. It's a big mystery.

General comments?

I loved the car when I first got it. It handles very well. But I've only had it for 8 months and I've had problems already. I thought it was a good deal when I bought it, but I've put in so much extra money already.

I'm not very happy at all. I should have just paid a little more for something that wasn't a money pit. I plan on trying to sell it this summer if anyone is interested? :)
