2000 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had my alero since May 2000, and for the past few years have had a lot go wrong.
My tire pressure light comes on
Head gasket blown
intake gasket needs to be replaced
brakes replaced at least 3 times
wheel bearing replaced
and now..
ENGINE needs to be replaced!
General comments?
I'm soo sick of this car, I loved it in the beginning, but now I feel like it's a money pit! I can't wait to be done with school so I can get another car. I would NOT recommend this car to ANYONE! Do not buy this car unless you want to throw your hard-earned money out the window.
