1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"Do you like duct tape? Because this car will need it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's side window and the back right passenger window do not work, and are being held up by duct tape. The others are sticky when you try to raise or lower them.
The signal blinker has a mind of its own. It randomly clicks when you drive.
In cold weather, it enjoys stopping without warning.
The fan had to be replaced at least 4 times.
Several problems with power steering.
Truck does not latch properly.
Brakes had to be replaced several times, especially when the car was first purchased.
Fixtures like to fall off, including the light on the ceiling, which is now duct taped up.
General comments?
Seats are comfortable.
Rides fairly quiet for being over 100,000 miles.

| If you can get past the problems, Alero has potential: MUCH better than the Achieva it replaced! |
