Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front brakes were worn out at 41,944 miles for the first time. The rotors were turned & the pads replaced. The brake repair lasted only 12,296 miles ( this was 296 miles out of warranty) when I was told the rotors were warped again & the pads needed to be replaced. Of course this is normal wear that the extended warranty does not cover. I had to pay out of pocket twice for the entire repair. After finding the TSB reports, I feel the rotors should have been replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10039121, filed 2003-09, 41,944 miles“My 2000 Oldsmobile Alero has had serious problems with it since purchasing it in june of 2002. To date, I have had to replace my waterpump, intake manifold gasket, tires, brakes and rotors consistently (three or more times ayear) . The most recent problem is my gas gauge will indicate that I have 1/4 tank and to my surprise the car will not start unless more fuel is added. The engine also sounds rough, I have both service engine lights on, along with my low tire pressure, anti lock brake light on and I have new tires, replaced a gas cap, and the lights went off, but then come back on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10210349, filed 2007-11, 135,000 miles“The brake rotors turned twice and replaced once. This caused the brake pads to have to be replaced. The drivers door automatic window motor had to be replaced twice and now the passenger door window was doing the same thing. The interior light fell out and had to be put back in. The sun visor came loose and had to be tightened again. The cd player had to be replaced. A backlash of electricity caused a fuse to be replaced. The car died on a highway and towed to the dealership. The intact manifold leaked, it was tightened up and one month later the same problem happened again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10020820, filed 2003-05, 6,000 miles“Rotors bad, brakes bad, wheels leak air, windows leak air in, windshied shakes, engine runs high temps and knocks, paint is starting to rust.
