2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America

I have about 80,000 miles on it and have put brakes in it 3 times which seems excessive.

The slide track under the passenger seat broke at about 15,000 miles. It was replaced under the factory warranty.

The drivers side power window regulator broke and the window tilted 45 degrees and couldn't be put up. Luckily I was close to home when this happened and it was summer. I had this fixed under the extended warranty I purchased.

Also, the car started leaking coolant so I brought it in for that. They told me it was the intake manifold gaskets and that it wasn't covered under my extended warranty. After speaking with somebody at the warranty company, they changed their minds and said it was covered.

Also, the heater/cooling fan switch stopped working on the first two settings. I brought that in and they replaced a resistor, covered under my extended warranty.

Last, I've brought it in four times now for the rear defrost to be fixed. The first time I brought it in, they said there was a break in the wiring and they fixed. After picking it up and having it sit outside overnight, I tried the defrost in the morning and it didn't work. I brought it back and they said it was a broken wire in the window. They fixed that and then it worked... but only for 2 days. I brought it back again and now they're saying it's a module of some sort. I'm supposed to bring it back in a week to have that fixed.
