1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"This is the worst car ever built by any auotomotive manufacturer!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Issues fixed:
Wheel Bearing has been replaced.
Brakes have been replaced.
Power Steering hose has been replaced.
Continuing Issues:
Cruise Control does not work.
Key fob for locks/trunk release does not work.
ABS/Traction lights stay on.
1,2,3 setting for blower do not work.
Guaranteed intake manifold gasket will need to be replaced.
And the list could go on and on and on, when it's time I will be looking at a Honda or Toyota, companies that seem to understand what makes a satisfied customer.
General comments?
Do not by this car, no matter how cheap it could possibly be. Dealers can't give these cars away let alone sell them these days.
