Alero 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,000 miles
I have owned this 01 Alero for 7 months now and have had problems since day one. I first had to replaced the front brakes, calipers & pads & rotors. Then my ABS speed sensor went so I had to replace that too. Now whenever I hit the brakes they grind and sometimes fail to work. For a 01 this car has given me way too many problems. Sometimes I am scared to drive it in bumper to bumper traffic with the fear of the brakes not working!
