"A great car for someone on a budget, who wants something that looks good"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Faulty resistor switch caused fan levels 1,2,and 3 to be off and only 4 was 'on'.

Area around gear shifter is badly cracked and overly worn for a 2000 car.

None of the doors shut properly without being slammed.

Unsettling popping sound when turning the wheel.

Brakes squeak incessantly due to rotors.

The outside noise sounds like there's a window cracked at all times.

I have one tire that keeps going flat.

'Dummy Lights' come on when there is no problem, i.e.: Low coolant light when accelerating onto highway, Low Tire Pressure light when all tires are inflated properly.

General comments?

I love the way my car looks on the outside.

The interior is deteriorating rather quickly.

Occasionally when I'm trying to accelerate from a set speed, it feels as though I need to 'floor it' to get it to go 5 miles per hour faster.

The factory radio has terrible reception, and the speakers are weak as well.

As far as maneuverability and speed, this car is wonderful. I drive 30 miles to work every day, the majority of which is on a major interstate, and my Alero has never let me down while trying to keep up with traffic.
