2000 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"This car sucks for a female single person"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had only owned my Alegro less than 6 months when there was a recall on it and I had a problem of it squeaking from the rear end of it. My blinker lights wouldn't work either... they were erratic, sometimes working, sometimes not. Of course none of this was covered by my extended warranty.
After I had owned my car for 2 years I had problems with my brakes, I took it to a mechanic and needed total brake work done.. pads, rotors, hoses, etc. They also found that my coolant was going into my engine... extended warranty paid for that, but the car only had 50,000 miles on it.
Went to get out of car and the door wouldn't open on drivers side. The next morning it worked!
General comments?
The car is easy to handle.
I like its looks and interior.
I wish I didn't have problems with it.
