2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"In my opinion there are major computer wiring problems in Aleros"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the rotors at 28,000 miles.
My rear defrost went out at 15,000 and they had to replace a module for it.
My radio antenna is in the rear window and I had to replace the rear window due to static in the radio at just over 20,000.
My tire pressure light will come on for no reason. I will pull over and check my tire pressures and they are all in specs.
My low oil light has come on and I have pulled over and had plenty of oil.
My service engine soon, ABS, and no traction light have been on for six months. I can't afford to go and have it fixed at this time though. I was told it would be costly because it was in the computer.
General comments?
I know of 5 other people who own an Alero, 99 or newer, and have identical problems.
