2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"I like it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First the rotors and brake pads had to be replaced all around, and also there are all kinds of weird creaking noises.
The transmission shifts weird; a little better since I had it flushed, but still very sloppy.
I had to have the power steering pump replaced, and I'm still having problems with it leaking.
Engine oil leak.
Driver side window barely goes up anymore; this is recent.
Outside door handles work poorly.
Interior is noisy.
General comments?
The 3.4L V6 is quick and the car handles nice. I think the struts or shocks might be getting pretty worn out, because bumpy corners make the rear end squirt out.
All in all I actually like the car, but after reading these reviews I am a little worried about what's going to happen when my mileage gets higher.
