Another flaw in workmanship on this Alero. Fan only works on settings 3 or above. Guess I can live with this, if it would start regularly, see Fuel pump issues. Now that is a pain!

At first the fan speed works only from the second speed and up, but a year or two later, it only works on the thirds speed and up.

Either its no air or full blast. AC or Heat. But the good news this isn't the worst thing that will go wrong with your car.

Just another complaint on this awful car. For a summary of all my complaints look at my entry under "Coolant Problems" Again, never ever buy this car. GM caused all these problems with poor material and workmanship. All I ever bought was GM vehicles, but no more. Anyway, avoid this lemon if at all possible.
