The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I have noticed a grinding sound coming from my brakes. I took the car to the shop and was told that I needed pads and rotors, I replaced pads and rotors and the ABS, trac off, and the service vehicle soon light started coming on. Took the car to the dealer for further analysis and they told me I needed a speed sensor because it was malfunctioning and because it is inside the wheel hub I also had to replace these things also. $700 later the lights were still coming on and the brakes was still making this strange noise. I returned the car and after inspection was told that the ABS wires were busted and needed to be replaced, $200 later the car is still making these noises and the lights are still coming on. No one seems to know what the problem is. I am taking the car back again for further analysis. I have also had a problem with the manifold replaced it at $700, the ignition fortunately for me it was covered under the extended warranty I purchased with the car. I also have a problem with the turn signals malfunctioning.

Signal lights quit working the only way to get them to work is put on emergency flashers then turn them off. The traction gets stuck in the off position and will not go off until car is turned off. Have not replaced anything, mechanic said it is manufacturing problem with electrical system.

The turn signal flasher failed and as a result the vehicle was rear ended while attempting to make a left turn.

Turn signals worked intermittently but flasher indicator did not working correctly. A recall was issued for this problem. However, the service technicians claimed they will not do the necessary repairs.

The turn signals work only occasionally. Also a coworker has a daughter that is having the same problem with olds Alero. A dealer South of here says he has a lot of complaints on both cars.
