| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have an 2000 oldsmobile alero which is a piece of crap since i first brought it home. i have had to change the brakes about 7 times!!! i have also had to fix all of the problems that were stated in the recalls. i fixed the recall problems before there even was any recalls because gm would not help me. then later i would receive the recalls. now my transmission is shot!! the ets system is not allowing the transmission to shift properly. we found a bolt laying in the transmission pan when we first serviced it. in the beginning we thought we only needed a transmission fluid and filter change but come to find out that bolt that was in our transmission pan filtered though the transmission allowing something to become loose in the transmission making it shift very hard. we had 2 mechanics look at it and both agreed that we needed to rebuild the transmission. i have only had the car for about 6 years but even in the beginning of owning this vehicle things started to go wrong. now oldsmobile is out of business and gm/oldsmobile wont do anything to help me which is typical of gm. i have been on the phone with gm about 5 times now and they just keep telling me the same thing over and over. basically i'm out of luck. now it will cost 2000.00 to rebuild the transmission and i do not have that. i will never purchase a gm vehicle ever again. i think that a foreign car like honda or nissan would be more reliable and wont be a piece of junk that isn't even worth 100.00. please help me i need a vehicle for work. *nm |
