1999 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"This car is another GM Lemon and the Last GM I will ever own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the last 12 months the intake gasket failed at 64,000Km the alternator fail at 66,000 and at 70,000Km the right front spring broke damaging the strut and tire and now at 76,000 the rear window defroster failed.
General comments?
This car has a nice ride, but I find the brakes to be be lacking in power.
