Breaks on our 2000 Oldsmobile Alero have been checked/fixed 3 times in 39000 miles. In Aug 2002 new front rotors and pads were replaced at 31810 miles. In July 2003 at 39448 miles front inside pads were over 50 % worn and the rotors needed turning. Back brakes also needed repare. This last instance only had 7638 miles on the 'new' rotors and pads.this is a known issue and one that the customer must swallow huge repair bills every 8,000-10,000 miles, well out of the normal range. NHTSA must do something to force GM to correct the issue before a lose of life happens and to assist customers with huge cost in break repairs.

I have had a constant problem with front and rear brakes on my 2000 Alero. Dealer replaced front pads and rotors after I continued to complain of problems stopping. The brake problems still persisted after front brakes were changed the rear brakes were bad. I went to the dealer at least four times for the rear rotor problem they told me they could not fiind anything wrong. I had to take it to a independent mechanic to have it fixed even though it was under warranty at the time. I now am having a front wheel bearing problem which Oldsmobile will not cover even though there is only 48,000 miles on the car and its not quite three years old. Also dealer states they can no longer do warranty work because they no longer sell Oldsmobile.
