2000 Oldsmobile Alero review from North America
"One of the most expensive mistakes I have ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power steering pump went bad.
The ball barrings have gone bad.
The water pump has gone bad.
The axle has gone bad.
The struts have gone bad.
The tire rods have gone bad on both sides.
The check engine light is on most of the time.
General comments?
This cars has had nothing, but problems since I purchased it.
I have spent thousands of dollars beyond the cost of the car just to keep it running properly.
In the 6 years I have owned the car I cannot recall it being problem free for more than a few months.
