2001 Alero (2 dr. Coupe) I have been on several sites and am finding many Alero owners having the same problems that I have encountered over the last couple of years. Fuel pump, wheel hub assemblies, intake manifold gaskets, power window failure(grinding/breaking clips/regulators), serv engine and traction control lights constantly on, electrical problems, brake problems etc. It is my belief that olds knew they weren't making this car anymore, and sent a sub-par product out into the market "hoping" to get away with as few recalls as possible. I have numerous complaints filed with olds and General Motors. General Motors has gone way out and offered me a $500 certificate towards the purchase of a new vehicle. Give me one reason I should go through another nightmare like this one. Recalls have never been issued on any of these complaints because it would probably cost millions of dollars for them to fix the problems. I constantly wait to see if any class action suits involving these vehicles occurs as I will be one of the first to jump in. What's the saying..."if it looks like dog crap and smells like dog crap don't step in it, it's probably dog crap". there's a defined problem with these vehicles and GM should be taking responsibility for them.

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.

There is a grinding sound under the front of the vehicle at low speeds. The dealer was contacted and they advised that NHTSA was contacted because they have been receiving numerous reports of this occurrence. It appears to be a problem with the factory wheels but I'm not sure of this. The dealer is not attempting to repair the repair the problem because they advise that there will be a recall. They tried to repair the problem on a previous occasion by remounting the tires but this had no effect. The problem is not noticable when it is raining.

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.
