"Money pit"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drivers side window leaks when it rains.

Had the fuel pressure regulators replaced.

Had fuel pump replaced and it still cuts off.

Frequent rotor and brake problems.

Driver side window motor going bad.

Hazard and turn signal lights work when they want to.

Interior bubbling.

Low trade in value.

Traction problems.

Dome light stopped working.

Interior ceiling falling in.

General comments?

This car has cost me over $1300 in the past 3 months from repairs and towing costs. Not including lost time at work.

I would not recommend this vehicle to my worst enemy.

I totally agree. I had a 2000 Alero V6 and my turn signals and hazards only worked when they wanted too. I also had problems with the power-steering. My power driver seat quit working and sometimes my windshield wipers wouldn't shut off. I also had the brakes replaced twice in 9 months which is totally ridiculous. I feel your pain. That's why I traded it in on another Ford Ranger (2004). I had a 1997 and had minimal problems.

I too had problems with car. When first bought motor cut out in cool damp morning, brakes done at 47,000km A/C leak rear defog does not work anymore, power steering now starting to go bad traction, can't go anywhere in snow. Last, but not least blown head gasket. I don't recommend an Alero.
