Alero 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles
The Oldsmobile Alero is a pile of crap. Since I have had it I have replaced almost everything in the front end. My catalytic converter went out at 70,000 miles, I had a warranty and they didn't fix it. My anti-lock brakes and traction control went out and my cruise control switch hasn't worked since about 60,000 miles. I'm just waiting for the day this car just bursts into flames.
