2001 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just purchased my car September 28, 2002.
The blinkers only work when they want to. I have taken my car twice to the dealership. They have replaced the multi relay switch twice. As of 11-2-02, the blinkers still choose to work when they want.
I also had to tow it last week for it would not start. It sounded like it was out of gas... found out it wasn't firing. They had to replace the distributor module, coil pack, some housing and had a bad gas relay. This was 3 days before my warranty expired.
I still don't know what to do about the blinkers.
I also think there is a huge blind spot on the driver side when looking out.
General comments?
Overall, I love the car. I think it is a sharp looking car. I handles very well. I've had no problem with anything else.
I just wished the blinker issue could be resolved. I feel like taking my car back and getting another car.
