All at once the radiator fans, auto headlights, air conditioner, and the automatic door locks (when shifting out of park) stopped working. I also cannot...
Well, I just started getting the "cricket chirp", so it's time to change front pads on my 2001 Grand Am. I got 67,000 miles on the originals and have had none...

First of all congratulation for getting so many mile from your original brake pads, my pads generally last less then 1/2 that mileage. You must be an excellent...
I'm not a mechanic, but the way I've had it explained to me is that ceramic pads are quieter, but wear a little more quickly. Semi-metallic pads last longer,...
This information off Goggle, is from a car-nut web-site regarding Semi-metallic vs. Ceramic brake pads. "As I understand it ceramic pads last longer and...
Interestingly, that same article specifically claims that ceramic pads extend the life of rotors: "These changes provide modern ceramic-based lining materials...
As I said, My personnel experience with ceramic brake pads was many years ago. They could be a completely different animal today. Now we are all possibly more...
For what it's worth, I installed ceramics from AutoZone on my 95 Plymouth Voyager. I noticed that they started to squeel with only about 20K on them. When I...

Yes, I just had this exact problem happen to my 01 Alero. In short, It was just one of my front 'Wheel Bearing Hubs.' The three lights as you mentioned came...
Robert, That wouldn't by any chance be because GM's marketing people seem to have an attention span measured in nanoseconds, would it? Tom Stoner Ann Arbor ...
The car is with my son in Michigan so he will not be doing the work. I want to avoid having to pay for replacing the hub assembly if it is only a bad sensor....
Wayne, FYI, Just from experience, AutoZone's scan won't read a code in this case- 'Service Vehicle Soon.' When the 'Check Engine Light' comes on, then...
Auto Zone did test the Alero and found no codes and the technician did say that their tester would not diagnose "Service Vehicle" codes. I got the Alero Digest...
I've joined the club. 16,000 miles & need new pads in front. And rotors becuz I never thought the pads could wear out so quickly & I let down my guard. Olds...
I can't say I've had the poor pad life problems you have; I think I got 60k out of the first set (although I went right through the squealers). Oops. As far...
