1999 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Please don't sell them, junk them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I won a 1999 alero from a car dealer less than 6 months ago; it was the only day that I had a smile on my face. I have nothing but trouble with this car, first it was the brakes and then it was a wheel bearing, two weeks later the same wheel bearing had to be changed again. I have put 2 sets of breaks on this car, I then put new tires all the way around it, but the brakes still make you'r foot jump up and down, I have never seen so many bad statements about one type of car, I will tell you what I will never win one again, and I will never buy one. I'm going to tell the car dealership to take this car and destroy it, please don't sell it to anyone else. Thank You for letting me post my review.
