1999 Oldsmobile Alero GS review from North America
"Not a well constructed automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The plastic guides on the window regulator (driver's side)broke.
The factory radio does not receive any stations.
General comments?
The dealer does not offer to sell the plastic guides on the window regulator, but will gladly sell you the entire window regulator for a minimum of 277.00 dollars. The manufacturer and dealer need to offer all parts to their customers. I refuse to pay that kind of money for a few poorly designed plastic window regulator guides that broke under normal conditions.
