2002 Oldsmobile Alero from North America
Faults:
Bought my car in 2002 brand new.
I first had problems when I got my car inspected the second year I owned it, the mechanic said that I needed new brakes, thinking this was totally wrong, I took it to a second mechanic and found out that yes I needed new brakes.
Two weeks ago my car would not shift gears, fearing this was a transmission related problem I took it to a local transmission shop. Come to find out it was an air intake sensor that had gone bad therefore the computer could not calculate when to shift gears!
I went to drive my car today and the anti-lock light was on and for the past few days when I make a hard right turn my low battery light blinks on and off.
A few months ago my blinker sound (not the light, just the sound) would not go off after turning the turn signal off.
Has anyone else experienced these same problems?
I really love the handling of my car and the look of my car I just don't want it to be a showpiece in front of my house that I can't drive!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

My car also started to go south at the 60,000 mile mark. In fact, 60,114 miles my trac off, ABS, and Service Vehicle lights came on and have stayed on ever since. I've had to replace the wheel bearings and brakes, and both started going bad again after six weeks, now my check engine light is on as of this morning, and my suspension is constantly creaking, and the tires make ungodly noise. All in all, I regret the day I forked over the cash to buy this car.
