Twice I have had get my rotors resurfaced or replaced, my gas gauge everytime I fill up it bounces up and down and the clear coat on the hood of the vehicle is coming off. This vehicle needs to have a recall on the brake system due to a lot of people that I have talked with and many on the internet complaining about having to replace there rotors or get them resurfaced way before the manufactured time limit. I bought my car with 29, 000 miles on it and have had to resurface or replace the rotors twice. Is this normal"?"

Rotors warped.

- San Jose, CA, USA

Steering and brake pedal vibrated when applying brakes. Rotors were serviced under warranty once. Dealer put rotors on a machine to smooth them out. But, problem happened again. Dealer said they were warped. First time was at 23000 miles.

This is the second time the rotor on the front right side has warped. I had it replaced at around 34000 miles (January 2000) and now, at 63,500 miles, it is needing replacing again. The steering wheel shakes when lightly applying pressure to the brakes at 55-70 mph, the same as what brought me into the dealership the first time around. I am no longer under warranty (3/36) so I will probably have to pay for the replacement (estimate was $270+ from a local shop) for the replacement. There needs to be more investigation on the '99 Alero, maybe even a recall to fix what is causing the problem.

The brake rotors have been replaced twice @ only 40,000 miles. They are now needing replacement again. This vehicle needs to be recalled and someone needs to find out why the rotors keep warping.

While driving about any speed would steep on brake pedal, but brakes will not work as they should, resulting in extended stopping distance. Also, rotors had to be replaced a couple of times.

Dealer informed that all rotors were rusted at 1,330 miles. Dealer made necessary repairs. The customer quoted an "outo doctor" article that states too small brake rotors cause steering wheel shaking.

Manufacturers rotors are not built to the specifications of the car. They continually warp and fail and have been replaced three times and need to be done once again.

There was noise while driving coming from transmission. Dealer replaced with rem transmission. Consumer is still having the same problem and leakage. The vehicle has torq axis hydralic transmission motor mount defect. Vehicle makes noise due to transaxle faiure.. brakes making noise due to rotors failure.

- Philadelphia, MS, USA

While driving about 65 mph sudden deacceleration while gas pedal was still pressed, and rpms were between 5 and 6000. That had happened to other vehicles, but they did not know what was the cause. Consumer had fixed the rotors at that time.

Warped front disc brake rotors---had to be turned---starting to reoccur prematurely.

- Portage, IN, USA

Brake rotors went bad in less than a year!

- Mason, MI, USA

The car trembled horribly upon deceleration from high speeds and/or upon a hard stop. I took the car to the dealer at approximately 16K miles, complaining of this problem. They didn't find anything. Now that the problem is more severe, and I took the car back to the dealer (at 20K miles) and told them to check the rotors. Viola, they found the problem. It's warped rotors. Now I have to replace the front brakes! consumer complaints via the edmund's town hall conferences indicates that I am not the only consumer having rotor problems on the 1999 Alero. I'm beyond the warranty so I have to pay for the repair. I think there is a manufacturer's defect and more investigation is needed. Thank you.

- Pasadena, CA, USA

Experienced violent vibrations while braking. Dealer is replacing both front rotors. I bought this car new 5 months ago and feel that the brake system should last more than 1800 miles.
