Car has good power and good gas mileage. it's a nice ride and room for the family. I just wish the brake and hub assembly problems were known before I bought this.
I had a 1997 toyota corolla I traded in to get this with 160k miles and never had a problem with it.
I'm trying to sell it and every person takes it to a mechanic and brings it back saying the mech. advised not to buy...
Does anyone want to buy an alero???
The Alero hub sensor wiring was not flexible enough and broke intermittently. He hub, bearing and sensor were fine. Expensive to replace the wires but no trouble since. tfs.
