1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America

"It's a terrible built car. GM has lost a customer, forever"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

3 of my windows won't roll down, security light would flash and lock me out, turn signal wouldn't quit clicking even after I shut it off, replaced ignition, replaced alternator, replaced serpentine belt, replaced console lid, the dashboard has melted and warped, the radio button numbers have peeled off, squeaky brakes.

General comments?

This car is a piece of junk. It has locked me out, shut down my engine because the security system went wacky. Cost me $568.00 to fix that.

The Service Engine Soon and Check Engine light would come on for no reason. I finally ended up putting $1400 in it to replace a cluster having to do with the computer system. I actually had to take it back 3 times before the dealer got it correct.

The turn signal wouldn't shut off and wouldn't stop making a clicking noise. Cost me $316.00 to replace the turn signal.

I replaced the alternator and serpentine belt recently as the battery light would go on and off. Cost me $516.00.

I only have one window that works. Dealer told me it would cost at the least probably $400 or more a window to fix them (without even looking at them. They, all three fell and you heard a cracking noise when they did so. I refuse to put more money into this car.

My dash has melted and warped in normal sunlight; cars three times the age of mine haven't had the same effect.

The radio buttons are peeled off and unreadable.
