2002 Oldsmobile Alero GL review from North America
"I like it a lot!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver and passenger window stopped working, one 10 months after the other. Had to get new breaks and rear rotors turned. Turn signal would intermittently stop working, but this was covered under a GM "special policy."
General comments?
I have had this car for well over a year now, and have had very few problems with it. The windows stopped working (drivers side 10 months before the passenger side, the back 2 windows still work fine). I had to get the rotors turned, but that may have been my fault because I let the brakes go too long. The only other issue was the turn signal would stop working once in a while until if fiddled with the hazard light or hit the dash with my palm. *** This is covered under a GM "special policy" so call GM and tell them about your turn signal not working!!! *** I called GM and they even setup an appointment with my local Chevy dealer to get this fixed!!!
