1999 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"I love my car, but how can I be sure this fix will be my last costly fix?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm getting the vibration from the front of my car. I'm being told it's the Torrington Bearing. This is supposedly a $1500 rebuild the transmission fix. Previously, I was told it was a Hub Bearing, but those were replaced and still the problem persists. Is it worth to get fixed or should I chalk it up as a Lemon and buy a new car?
