1999 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America

"Poorly engineered"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had Water Leakage on The front Flood Repaired Twice Still leaks.

Blower Motor Replaced Twice Still don't have two lowest Fan Settings.

Right front Wheel bearing replaced Twice.

Left Front Wheel bearing Replaced Once.

Head gasket leaked out coolant wrecked the motor had motor replaced at 85,000 miles.

Front brakes have been replaced yearly. Make a horrible squeeking sound when applied at a stand still.

Violently shakes the car when applied over 65 mph.

Rear trunk power actuator went out.

Gas gauge doesn't work properly, when it reaches 1/4 tank it starts going back towards full.

Alternator went out at about 100,000 miles.

Tire pressure light goes off every two weeks due to tires losing pressure.

Glue to seal the weld on the front edge of the hood let loose leaving chipped paint all along the front edge of the hood.

Rear window defroster went out.

General comments?

It's a alright car just had what I thought was some bad luck. I really loved it when I bought it. But it just isn't built to last past the warranty.

And the cup holder in front of the shifter is useless. Can't put the car in park with a beverage there.
