1999 Oldsmobile Alero: water leaks into the cabin

Filed Jan 26, 2007 · Brakes, Electrical · 75,000 miles · TX

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.

Bought car new with 23miles.in less than 3 mths, front strut had to be replaced.car now has 21000miles and have also had rotors sanded at least 3 times, eventually replaced.gear shift broke right off,stuck in parking lot unable to shift.exterior paint mouldins at door/window closure chipped away,had to be replaced. Front passenger dash leaking water,fixed. Driver&passenger door /floor mouldings leaking water,fixed. Blinkers worked whenever they felt like it,fixed.shaking when trying to stop over 35mph. Pulling to the left over 35mph.please look into!! This is not what I had in mind when I bought a new car. I have 1 year left on 3/36, what then? I didn't intend on paying $350/a month for a car and $$$ to have it fixed constantly.nevermind the aggravation of having to bring it to the dealer and be without a car all the time. Just to haveto return with the same problem.if I wanted to be without a car all the time, I could have just taken the bus.they're covering it up.they're making short-term,cheap fixes to major problems, in hopes that our warranties will run out before they have to address the problems.please look into!! Any info will be appreciated.
