2000 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"I love my car... when it isn't in the shop!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front wheel bearings went at 80,000 miles.
Front and back brakes have been fully replaced 4 times and still continue to squeal.
The motor for the driver's automatic window broke at 60,000 miles.
The entire coil pack had to be replaced at 85,000 miles.
General comments?
This car looks good and handles very well, however, I would never buy another GM vehicle again.
