2003 Oldsmobile Alero gx coupe review from North America
"One of the best lemons I ever bought. Not!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission blew at 10,000 kilometers. Then I had three engine contoller's installed. Shortly after that my clutch valve had to be replaced. Also that nice pass lock system works so well, that it even kept me from driving my car three times. My dealership tried to fix the problem, but could not repair it, so needless to say it is now disconnected. Also had to replace both boots on the shifter and park brake. My latest problem to occur is the plastic shift mechanism broke to pieces, causing me to loose reverse. Needless to say my fine automobile has been towed five times.
General comments?
Windows are leaking, and the wipers are shot.
