Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had an 99' oldsmobile alero for 7 years. it has had almost every problem listed on this website. it has had an over heating problem every year since i got it and i have spent thousands in repairs for the cooling system, fuel pump, poor interior manufacturer, ac/heater blower motor settings failure, fuel gauge failure, transmission leakage, poor springs/struts, gear slipping, hard starting, water leaking in from rain under glove compartment, off alignment (set three times in year), poor gas mileage, overheating or running above normal temperature and sudden overheating without notice of gauge lights or sounds. has had front right caliper failure locking brake pads down against rotor causing burnout of pads,rotor warping, caliper cylinder damage. has had power steering pump leakage. this car is a lemon and gm should not be allowed to get away with selling unsafe, worthless vehicles. the only reason i still have mine running is because i have put a lot of personal as well as paid labor into its upkeep over the years due to that i cant afford another car. *jb
