NHTSA Complaint #758723 — 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO

I HAVE BEEN HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. THE BRAKES PULSATE UNDER ANY BRAKING CONDITIONS ,BUT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH IT IS EXTREMLY BAD. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON SIX OCCASIONS WITH NO SUCCESS. THE FIRST BRAKE REPLACEMENT THEY REPLACED BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. THAT LASTED FOR ABOUT 10,000 MILES BEFORE NEEDING ANOTHER REPAIR. AFTER THAT REPAIR THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, WHICH THEN CAUSED THE BRAKES NOT ONLY TO PULSATE BUT TO ALSO MAKE A GRINDING OR MOANING NOISE WHILE STOPPING. WE ARE NOW ON REPAIR NUMBER SIX AND STILL THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GENERAL MOTORS AND BEING TOLD THAT BRAKES ARE NOT A SAFETY CONCERN I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ANY GM VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE DEFECT OF THESE BRAKES BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE GM CAN'T ADMIT FAULT. DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW HAS STOPPED WORKING ON TWO OCCASIONS THE FIRST BEING ON 12/10/2001 THEN AGAIN ON 02/06/2002. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS AS OF YET.*AK
