| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 olds alero. at 35k miles, both front wheel bearings failed. upon taking it to the dealership for work, we were told that the front rotors and brakes also needed replacing. the bearings were replaced under warranty, but we were billed $400+ for brakes and rotors. i filed a complaint with the bbb and olds (after multiple calls) reimbursed us for half of the brake work. i was later told be a mechanic at the dealership that wheel bearing, rotor and pad failures were an ongoing problem with the alero and grand am. apparently gm did not feel it was worth standing behind. now we have added 15k miles since the repair, and the new factory replacement rotors are already warped and causing uneven braking and steering shimmy. stay away from this vehicle. *nm |
