Braking is not working properly, pads and calipers will easily wear down and there is a grinding nosie at low speeds, consumer has replaced the parts several times. Contacted dealer and they were not willing to do anything.. also the driver side window chatters, there was a noise in the left front wheel bearing.

I have heard through news 8 in grand rapids that Alero's and Grand Am's have a problem with their braking system. I have pulsuing breaks at higher speeds, and they never go away. I have a friend with a new 2001 Grand Am that had the same problem and they.

Consumer stated the ABS rotors were making a grinding noise although rotors and the pads were still new, dealer replaced rotors and pads, but vehicle was still making the grinding noise. Also the alternator went out, wheels and tires were replaced due to the air pressure light illuminating, a front wheel alignment was performed, battery light and ABS light was coming on.
