The front end started to shake violently when braking at speeds starting at 65-70 mph. The dealer fixed the problem the first time replacing warped rotors. The second time the dealer told me they would have to contact Oldsmobile engineering to find a fix. I have had allot of nuisence problems but this vehicle is very unsafe with no real fix available.

I have had this car in for service of the brakes going on 10 times. Each time they have either resurfaced or replaced the rotors and sometimes the pads. When the brakes get wet the car is harder to stop. I have been in touch with GMC customer service but nobody would tell me how to fix this on a more permanent basis.

When applying brakes consumer will feel a vibration, and wheel will shimmy and rattle. Consumer took vehicle into dealer at 3,600 miles for oil change and was questioning the brakes, and was told by dealer that brakes had to be broken in . At 10,000 miles, consumer took vehicle back to dealer, and at that time dealer stated that they were just informed that the pads and rotors were not compatible , and both pads and rotors needed to be replaced. Consumer was very upset because he felt that he should haven been notifiied about it and what to do.

The car has worn out two set of brake pads in 30000 miles, two set of rotors, and one set of callipers. I called the dealer about the problem and was told that it would not be any need to bring the car to them that there was no way that they could check out the brakes. They could not tell me what the problem is even if they checked the car so there was no need for me to bring the car to them.

Consumer has replaced front brake system about 6 times. Mechanic stated there was a service bulletin. However, has not been able to repair the occurring problem.

Our 2000 Alero was taken to the dealership because there was a squealing and grinding noise with the brakes. After being looked at they told us we needed new brakes and our rotors turned. This is not covered by the warranty beacause it is considered normal wear and tear. Our car has 24250 miles on it. My wife drives the car back and forth to work 2 miles a day. Other than that it is just a pleasure car. I feel there should be a recall on the brake and rotor system before something serious happens.

When drivng at 60-65mph and brakes are applied vehicle vibrates, almost causing loss of control.
