Some Oldsmobile Alero owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle is unable to move forward but can still go in reverse. This problem may be linked to a transmission issue, such as internal transmission failure or low transmission fluid levels. In certain cases, owners notice that the car revs when the gas pedal is pressed without moving forward, further indicating a potential transmission problem. It is crucial for owners to check the transmission fluid levels to rule out these issues. Additionally, some owners find that problems with worn-out brake pads or shoes can also hinder the vehicle's ability to move forward. For those facing these challenges, consulting a transmission specialist or mechanic is recommended for proper diagnosis and resolution.
