2001 Oldsmobile Alero from North America
Summary:
An expensive, good looking car that is not worth the trouble or the money.
Faults:
Car has been a lemon since I bought it, but have thus far been unsuccessful in getting out of it. In the past three years it has been in the shop around 20 to 30 different times. The majority of the problems have been electrical. The security light (ignition lock and box module have been replaced three times), the chip for the dashboard lights has been replaced twice, the radio has been replaced - just to name a few things.
General Comments:
I bought the car because it was a nice looking car and Oldsmobile is known for good cars.
I did not know that I was going to be stuck with an unreliable car within the first month of owning it.
I just got stranded in the middle of IL on the way to Chicago because my car has so many problems.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have had many many problems with my junk pile they call alero. but the acceleration cannot be beat for the price.
Probably the fastest car I've ever owned. (that is when it runs)
