2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"UH OH, What did I buy??!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Like a previous blogger, I too am part of the "service engine soon - antilock break - trac off - light show on the dash club". This happened as soon as I left the lot. Took back to used dealer, they replaced the ignition switch which they told me fixed the christmas tree lights on my dash. Took it home, no warning lights. Left short time later, christmas again! Went off after getting gas, but came on after turning car off and on again. Anyone know why this is, please let me know!
General comments?
If these warning lights could be fixed and I don't have any of the other problems that other people are having, I'd love the car. I've only owned it for 5 days, but only drove it for a total of 2 because it's been back to the dealer so often. I just wish I read these posts BEFORE I purchased this car. Now I'm scared and plan on using the lemon law to get my $ back if these warning lights aren't fixed.
