2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"Good little car, but lots of brake problems (with noises)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes make a crunchy noise.
Had to replace rotors.
Brake and ABS light on 24/7.
ABS does not work.
Car gets too hot sometimes.
General comments?
I have a 2000 Olds Alero GLS. I love the way this car handles. It is very quick to pick up and it responds well with steering. It is a serious gas guzzler though. Not as bad as my previous car (Olds Cutlass 93) but still not what I expected. The brakes have serious issues. I have had 3 different mechanics inspect my brakes and they all said there is nothing wrong with them. However, the brakes still make crunching noises.
But I love it in the end.
