| The front-passenger side brake pads are wearing unevenly. the outside brake pad has worn down to the squealer while the inside brake pad shows little wear. i have contacted the oldsmobile representative concerning this problem and he has opened a case report. the first time this happen at 16000-17000 miles it was covered under warranty. the solution at that time was to rebuild the caliper, replace the pads and turn the rotors. while talking to the dealer service representative, i have learned this is currently an ongoing problem that is affecting other models as well, which has gm engineers searching for answers.*ak | |||

| The car has a pronounced 'shudder/vibration' at low speed (around 25mph). the problem intensifies when turning right, especially over uneven pavement. the rotors appear to be warped as they also vibrate under braking, causing the shudder to again intensify. the dealer states that this is a 'common' problem with aurora's..? *ak | |||
