2003 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the last ten months this car has broken down 4 times! But all in all we have:
replaced the fuel pump twice,
had the rotors grinded,
replaced all four tires,
replaced the front right and left axle bearings,
the battery three times,
had the security system rewired because it wouldn't start.
As soon as this car is running we are taking it to a car dealership to trade it in it is the worst car I've ever owned... a piece of garbage I would never recommend this car to a family with children. It has been horribly unreliable and costly.
General comments?
The car looked nice on the outside and worked well for maybe the first five months after that we continued to have problems with it. It is otherwise comfortable and sporty looking with the spoiler on back.
