2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"I love my car, why does she hate me so?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lately she's overheating.
Coolant disappearing AFTER I've had the manifold gaskets replaced.
Dashboard peeling off.
Go through tires like crazy.
Steering wheel creaks when it turns.
And a pop noise when you turn the wheel too hard.
I Can't figure out how to replace the halogen fog lights.
Heat doesn't work, only blows out cold air lately.
General comments?
It's been a great car for the past 5 1/2 years.
Speedy, clean, and spacious.
Was never really good with defrosting the rear window quickly.
