2002 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"JUNK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Excuse my spelling, but the rack and pinion went out at 8000 miles.
2. Loud noise when turning. I had it back to the dealership at least twice for this.
3. The first month or so that I had it, I had to have a new door inside put in because it was coming apart at the handle.
4. My dash has just recently started to bubble up about an inch.
5. Crazy noise in engine when started up.
6. New brakes already.
7. Numbers have rubbed off the CD player.
8. Low tire pressure stays on most of the time.
9. My very first brand new car and I hate it with a passion. I have used cars many times before and have never been so unsatisfied.
General comments?
Recalls on them would be awesome. Oldsmobile never should have built these cars.
