coolgrinder33 · 11-16-2008, 03:09 PM

so what is in your opinion the worst thing about aleros?

i would have to say the front end/headlight deffinatly!

cherrington17 · 11-16-2008, 03:20 PM

brakes that deteriorate every 2 years.... the fact that it runs out of gas... my tires need air... the body rusts after 20 years, and last but not least, it was axed and saturn wasn't.

it does because i thought you were serious about those dinner mints

I guess something that is pretty annoying, is the passlock issue. I put engine problems, but really most problems are not in the engine, but the electronics (passlock, ignition switch, and the other stuff that goes wrong on all cars. The engines themselves are pretty reliable.

havent really had a bad problem with my car, even sitting for 3 yrs, i love the way it looks, i love my car

Justin081 · 11-16-2008, 08:01 PM

im gunna have to say lack of parts and mods. i have no real issues with the car i love it. i just wish there were more parts out there for it and they were more common. if the parts for them were more common they would probably be cheaper.

Redog · 11-16-2008, 08:12 PM

Well I would have votedfor lack of performance parts but they are out there, you just gotta know where to look, so I voted other.

Why, threads like this

"What do you mean I have to change my brakes in 2 years?!?!?!"
"What do you mean I have to change my oil?!?!?!"
"WHat do you mean I have to actually take care of the car?"
"What a piece of shit"

I know, just supporting your point

I said other, and other being just some of the absolute cheap, chinsey parts GM threw on the cars (like the window regulator clips, LIM gasket failure, and the brakes getting eaten up after a year or so). I mean, I generally like the car, but after replacing a part 8 times like I have my drivers side window regulator, it starts to wear on you and takes the good aspects of the car down a notch...

leroBob · 11-16-2008, 08:26 PM

I went with engine problems cause no car is perfect.(i wish there was a option for all around mechanical quality.)

-4 total LIM 3 while i owned it
-3 wheel bearings (PREVIOUS THREE CARS NEVER CHANGED ONE AT ALL)
-brakes WAY to often
-each window i had to replace the clips
-just put in my third alternator
-my driver side mirrior took a crap about two years ago(still haven't fixed it.)
-blower motor resister
-oh and my rear defroster i found out today died again so this will be my second time replacing this.(thst SOB aint cheap either)

On a side note i am pleasantly surprised my shocks are still holding fairly strong for a ten years old car with 105K

good point ken very good point
well if i keep hitting the dash the noise stops but then why doesnt my spedo work, if the brake light comes on does it mean i have to add fluid
well the tranny blew up what a pile of crap, but never mind the turbo or blower or needle rooster behind the wheel doing burn outs every stop light

i could go on but iam done

Passlock, propbably. Either that or the 3400 LIMG issue. Wheel bearings in third. That's about it.

DOHC_tuner · 11-17-2008, 12:30 AM

I hate the lack of quality the vehicle was made with. The interior with the old man lines on the dash, and how you cant drop the back seat without pulling the string in the trunk. Only if there was an abundant number of 5 speeds out there aswell.

Headlights are okay except for us with the bodykits.

The performance is there and the aftermarket....just gotta know where to look.
