"A mistake to get it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had to replace the ABS pump in 2001.

The brakes pop all the time, took it to the dealer, they said it was the rotors, got it back less than week later, back to popping.

Less than 6 months after I bought the car, I had to replace the alternator on the car.

Now the electrical system is going bad. The radio changes channels all by itself, and lights in the car go out anytime it wants.

General comments?

I hate this car. I have put so much money in that I can't put in more right now.

You must have gotten a bad apple, but don't let it spoil the whole bunch. I have a 98 Skylark and I love it. I have had no problems with it. I put cars through a lot and this one has taken a beating and loves it. I can honestly say I love this car.

The electrical problem your having sounds like a voltage regulator going or already gone. If the car develops a stalling problem look into the Delphi MRA fuel pump assembly. Replacements have been known to have the connectors reversed causing fuel to go to the evaporative system instead of the regulator.
