1999 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America

Front Wheel Bearings replaced 4 times. The speed sensor is located in the wheel bearing assembly itself. So, when the anti-lock brake & no trac light comes on, it is a faulty speed sensor and the whole bearing has to be replaced. STUPID DESIGN!

Also, the clips on my windows have now broken 3 times. There are black clips and white ones. One set can be replaced, while the other set requires a whole new piece of glass.

One time I had to replace the window tracks themselves.

Replaced the radiator and it will be needing a new transmission.

Also, the heater blower motor just went out. Not sure yet if it is the motor itself or the resistor.

Both door locks have been replaced, as they wouldn't latch, which meant the door stayed opened.

Rear view mirror continually falls off.

The trunk latch was replaced, but again is tempermentaly working.

Got a new gas door at the junkyard b/c the old one stayed ajar.

HVAC interior switch only works on the speeds it wants to given the day of the week.

Tie rods have been replaced twice now.

Turn signals only work when they want and forget about it when it is raining.

Floating caliper on front right brakes seized together leaving me with no brakes on that side.

Moonroof has recently decided to open, but not close on command!

GM did not think when they designed the Alero.

Not only does every possible thing go wrong, but the repairs are not easy and the pieces and parts are SO hard to get to.

Please save yourself the money.

It has been five years of nothing, but nickle and diming me to death!!!
