2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL V6 from North America
Summary:
In my opinion there are major computer wiring problems in Aleros
Faults:
I replaced the rotors at 28,000 miles.
My rear defrost went out at 15,000 and they had to replace a module for it.
My radio antenna is in the rear window, and I had to replace the rear window due to static in the radio at just over 20,000.
My tire pressure light will come on for no reason. I will pull over and check my tire pressures and they are all in specs.
My low oil light has come on, and I have pulled over and had plenty of oil.
My service engine soon, ABS, and no traction light have been on for six months. I can't afford to go and have it fixed at this time though. I was told it would be costly because it was in the computer.
General Comments:
I know of 5 other people who own an Alero, 99 or newer, and have identical problems.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have had many similar problems.
I replaced the hazard switch.
I currently have no horn,no rear defog, and my ABS is not working.
I have very little faith in my suspension.
All of my dashboard lights come on and stay on, even if there is no problem.
And yes I checked the fuses, they are fine.

I had the problem with the ABS and traction off and service engine soon and it was only the fuse.
