1999 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Piece of junk don't buy one!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Dome light is broke.
2. Front seats have been replaced.
3. Front wheel bearings have been replaced 5 times over the past 3 yrs.
4. One of the coil packs on the motor went out around 100,000 miles. Causing the forth cylinder to misfire thus making my gas mileage to go down too.
5. The vents don't work well the fan doesn't come on and so it doesn't defog at all.
6. Upper radiator hose inlet went bad.
7. Rotors and brakes were replaced.
General comments?
The only thing good about this car is it's looks. I purchased the car on Sept. 11th, 2001. It's a two door and the blind spots are terrible.
