When applying brakes vehicle shakes and vibrates. Brake rotors/ pads are defective.

- Hiram, OH, USA

Brakes failed with no warning. Going down hill when front pads gave out and assembly dug into rotors. Required replacement of pads, rotors and miscellaneous components. Dealer (burne olds in scranton, pa) told me Alero brakes were under recall, but not mine. I had to pay the $400 for replacement. Contacted GM to complain and was told it was my problem. If there had been a warning, I could have had them serviced before complete failure and resultant damage (front rims were scorched from the heat from the failed brakes). I was very lucky that I was able to get car stopped and to service before being involved in severe accident.

The front end started to shake violently when braking at speeds starting at 65-70 mph. The dealer fixed the problem the first time replacing warped rotors. The second time the dealer told me they would have to contact Oldsmobile engineering to find a fix. I have had allot of nuisence problems but this vehicle is very unsafe with no real fix available.

When applying brakes consumer will feel a vibration, and wheel will shimmy and rattle. Consumer took vehicle into dealer at 3,600 miles for oil change and was questioning the brakes, and was told by dealer that brakes had to be broken in. At 10,000 miles, consumer took vehicle back to dealer, and at that time dealer stated that they were just informed that the pads and rotors were not compatible, and both pads and rotors needed to be replaced.consumer was very upset because he felt that he should haven been notifiied about it and what to do.
