2000 Oldsmobile Alero SE review from North America
"Terrible manufacturing.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A week after I bought my car my service vehicle, anti lock, and track-off lights came on, replaced the wheel speed sensor 4 times in 1 month, then the service engine light comes on and off whenever it feels like it, my brake rotors pads and calipers have been changed 3 times in 1 year, my drivers window motor was replaced after it got all tangled up inside (only cost me $20 for parts and $20 for the less than 1 hour of service to repair the broken motor) Now in the last 2 days my low coolant light came on and I filled the coolant which was entirely empty after filling it less than 2 months ago and it will not blow hot air until after the car is entirely warm and it will start to overheat. I have had nothing, but bad luck with this car.
