2002 Oldsmobile Alero GLS coupe review from North America
"Poor craftsmanship!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes and rotors have been replaced twice. The low tire pressure light has literally not turned off since the second year of owning it. The Window-front driver has squeaked since day one and now has scratches imprinted in it and the dealer has no clue why. The check engine light has come on 3 times and each time I bring it in, there is always something different wrong with the car.
General comments?
I will never buy another Alero, obviously. Nor will I ever buy another Oldsmobile (Thank God they are done making cars). I used to be a positive advocate for GM and their products, but that has changed with this experience.
