1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"At least it still looks good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
August 2001 Tie Rod End replaced. 1000 miles after being told problem. 3 trips to dealer before they changed brake pads and rotors.
Dome light keeps falling out.
Back floors ruined from water leaking into car.
Tape player has never worked.
August 2002 Everything imaginable is going wrong. Battery, water pump, constant coolant leak, alternator and starter.
Please do not waste your money.
