Our Alero is a major LEMON!! Routers have been replaced 3 times now. The car has been in the shop 4 times since the last routers were replaced due to the fact that the automatic locks stopped working. The first time it was due to a leak on the drivers side that corroded the wires. That was fixed the first time under warranty. It happened again and again, no longer under warranty. Just took car in shop this morning to have the same thing repaired again. Nice looking car, but way too many problems. The car is only 3 years old and only 57,000 kms.
