2001 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Not good enough for the bargain bin"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Electrical started acting up. When turning radio on windshield wipers would start going.
-Door ajar light remained on for several minutes.
-Sound system in vehicle has no bass, very limited.
-Poor acceleration, better suited for older folks who drive slowly.
-Clunk sound every few minutes.
-Seat-belts failed miserably, and I haven't even got in an accident. It would be safer NOT to wear them!!!
-Breaks kick in on high acceleration, especially while on hilly roads.
-I have never had to refill the windshield washer because it never worked.
General comments?
-Generally these cars are peices of junk, and I would never purchase one again. It's no wonder they stopped producing them, either they all broke or nobody wants them except the elders!
