2002 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America

I got the car at the end of October, 2002. By the end of December of the same year, the dashboard had wrinkled. Luckily, it was covered under warranty.

In June 2003, the motor of the driver's side window no longer worked. I had to have it replaced. This also was covered by warranty.

The knob on my radio broke and I had to have it replaced. This was not covered under warranty.

January 2004, my car began to have problems starting. The engine would sound like it wants to turnover, however, it doesn't until the third try. I took it down to the dealership's service department, and they couldn't find the solution to the problem. This has continued to occur and now it is August. I have taken it to the dealership numerous of times. I have replaced the battery and the fuel pump by suggestion of the mechanic. None of these suggestions have solved my problems.

I honestly think that the car needs to be recalled. The mechanics only true solution to my problem is to wait until whatever is causing the problem to break all the way down where the car does not work, so that they can find the problem. This is an inconvenience to me because I like to travel, however, my car is not reliable enough for me to venture out of state. It's barely reliable enough to get me to and from work. This is my first time using Oldsmobile and I promise it will be my last.
