NHTSA complaint #10678734, filed 2015-01, 130,000 miles“I have a 2001 olds Alero....for two years I have been having trouble with the sensor on my right front tire. The sensor caused my ABS and traction control system to fail. After many attempts to get fixed it seems that my bearing was bad. On the day that I got my car fixed 5 cars between 2 dealers were getting the same problem fixed. They were all GM cars..”
NHTSA complaint #10226072, filed 2008-04, 72,000 miles“Front hub (drivers side) went bad at around 48,000 miles, dealer replaced under warranty. Aprox.

NHTSA complaint #10104664, filed 2004-12, 60,000 miles“Engine check light flashed on/off while driving at any speeds. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that driver's side front hub needed to be replaced. Consumer was concerned that the wear was less then 31,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10101697, filed 2004-11, 31,000 miles“Air conditioner didn't work from day one. Blower then failed to work. Starter gave out within the first year as did the ignition switch. Power steering went out in the middle of a turn almost causing an accident. Oil light sensor went out. Power windows make crackling noise when lowering. Rotars make a grinding noise when braking even with brand new rotars and brakes. Factory tires would make a thumping noise as low speed braking. Now front suspension is making a clicking noise. Dealer has replaced the entire front end suspension and noise will not go away.”
