1999 Oldsmobile Alero suspension complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 46 of 46, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This problem arises from something in the structure of the struts or wheel well rubbing against the edge of the front tires and abrating the thread and steel belting away until the tire fails. This problem may arise from contact with the wheel well when making sharp turns, as the tire did not fail until about 30,000 miles of normal driving, and as the left hand side front tire is somewhat less abrated round the same circumference area. This problem made my car a death trap. Replacing the tires will not make the car safe to drive for very long, if at all. This problem is urgent regarding the safety of huge number of other alero drivers and everyone who is around it in traffic. Time is of essence in giving attention to this problem. Many lives may be at stake. As the clock ticks, if fear what other alero drivers and those in traffic around it may face if the other aleros' have front tires to blow out. Please assure me that this problem is getting the attention that it should have from those responsible for dealing with it.
When vehicle is going at a fast pace and brakes are gently pressed, vehicle starts to vibrate very loudly and shake. This causes difficulty for consumer to slowdown while coming off an exit or highway, and may result in an automobile accident.
