1999 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"Reliable and a low cost of ownership"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passenger side rear door no longer opens.
The blower no longer functions on the first two settings.
General comments?
This has been a great car for 130K miles. It has never broken down.
I have replaced the brakes on all four wheels, the tires, and other consumables. I maintain the car well, lots of fluid changes.
