Alero GLS 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 97,000 miles

The master control switch that turns the cruise control system off an on stopped working and the backlights also stopped working, making it hard to use them in the dark. I found brand new OEM switches on eBay for $35.00 so I replaced both.
