2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America

Both of the front power windows quit working. The passenger one works every now and then. It seems to work when it is below zero out. Go figure!!

The check engine light has been on for years. I have had it checked out numerous times. It usually states it is the gas cap. I have the light reset and then it comes back on right away. I recently had the car in the shop to reset the light again, and this time it had a different message. The light was reset and back on a few days later. This is really irritating, seeing as I am try to sell it now.

I ran the car out of gas several years ago, and the gas pump/filter blew out at the same time. I was told it is common if you run a car out of gas, that the gas pumps goes too. It cost $900.00 with tow and repairs.

My dash board is all wrinkled too. And starting to peel now. I tried a hot glue gun to make it stick back down, but it didn't work very well. Hard to believe that a lot of people have had the same problem. Must be a bad design.

I just had to replace a front wheel bearing. Cost me $300.00 for parts and labor. I guess these things are going to start happening at 118,000 miles.

Overall, the car has been really good to me.

Hopefully I will find someone to purchase it that believes me that the check engine light isn't a big factor. I sure don't want to put any money into it now that I am selling it.
