Car has recurrent problems, never resolved, service costs, must replace car!!!!!!! I feel like sueing gmac for this. Gasoline sprays out from under the hood, but no one knows the cause. Always a gasoline odor for no apparent reason. No one can find the problem. Replaced 3 batteries and 2 alternators. The dash lights come on and stay on and engines cuts off sometime for no reason so it gets towed and towed. I feel like my life is in jeopardy. This car cost me over $18,000 and I get a car in the shop most of the time. Ended up trading in car for another "lemon" Alero 2000. Now this car cuts off when I turn off the ac. I really hate olds cars! defects that cannot be traced....what a deal! now I have higher payments on another olds that has more undetectable problems. Constantly in the service shop, so here we go again. Oh well, they sure are making a lot of money off of me, ... that is, if I live through this car.the Achieva was in the shop more that 6 times in a year, every year. I wonder what this Alero will do? and to think I let the dealership get me for another $18,000 on yet another car. The payments are higher than the last lemon they sold me. I think they should have put me into a new car, with my remaining payments on the Achieva. Period.
