1999 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love my car, but a lot has gone wrong with it in the past two years. I have drove across country with my car and it was holding up.
The first thing that went wrong was after a month of having my car the cruise control went out and only works every once in a while.
Also, the rear defrost doesn't seem to work right it takes 20 minutes to defog my window.
Then the passenger window regulator went out and still hasn't been fixed that happened this past November.
Then in December the driver window regulator went out and burnt up the motor and cost over $300 to fix.
Now the power locks are starting to fail whenever I go over 30 miles per hour the doors unlock.
