2001 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"TERRIBLE and a waste of good $"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was the worst that I have owned.
To start with the passenger door has never aligned right. The "leather" trim bubbled up and had to be replaced on all doors/dash - the dome light falls out whenever it wants.
The consol lights went out ie p-n-d etc... I too had the dreaded noises coming from turning they replaced my front two tires - still have the noise - they claim they can't figure it out.
I get the random turn signal just not working yet was never given a recall for this... It randomly tells me "low oil" and its FULL when I check - added more tonight and drove 1/4 mile checked and Low OIL yet still at 4 notches filled.
To top it off I too am a member of the "service engine soon - antilock break - trac off - light show on the dash club"
Very dissatisfied with this car anyone know lemon laws on this thing.
I fear taking it into the shop to fix the light show on the dash that just started will cost more than the blame car is worth anymore. Go figure its just a few thousnand miles outside of warranty work too. Gee my lucky day..
General comments?
This car is the worst to own no wonder they stoped production on this line of car.
