2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM BOUGHT WIGDER LIVINGSTON, NJ. ON, 12/3/03, POWER STERRING HOSE ALL OF A SUDDEN LET GO AND TOTAL LOSE OF STERRING CONTROL HAPPENED. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER WHERE MAKE SHIFT REPAIR WAS MADE FOR $243.00 DO NOT BELIEVE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE TO SPECIFICATIONS AND THAT IT WILL FAIL AGAIN. ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE PAID FOR REPAIR AND AM NOW REQUESTING THAT IT BE CHECKED AND CORRECT REPAIR BE FULLY MADE UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I GET ORIGINAL COST CREDITED BACK TO ME. ANY HELP WITH THIS WILL BE APPRECIATED.*AK

ON MAKING A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AS IT WAS ENTERING ON-COMING TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE LOST ALL FUNCTIONALITY WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY.*AK

I OWN A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT THAT HAS HAD A SERIES OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT STARTED THREE WEEKS AGO WITH MY TURN SIGNALS. AFTER A TURN OR LANE CHANGE AND THE LEVER RETURNED TO ITS NEUTRAL POSITION, THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD CLICK FOR UP TO 10 MINUTES. THEN A WEEK LATER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR POWER WINDOW WOULD NOT WORK. THEN THE CAR DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE. THANK GOODNESS THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. UPON REVIEW, THE DEALORSHIP FOUND THAT A SENSOR LEADING TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD. I HAD HEARD ABOUT A RECALL OF HAZARD LIGHT/TURN SIGNALS IN PONTIAC GRAND AM'S BUT AFTER CALLING GM SEVERAL TIMES THEY INSIST THERE IS NOT A RECALL AND THEREFORE WILL NOT PAY ANY OF THE $2000.00 IN REPAIRS. PLEASE GIVE ME ANY INFO YOU CAN. *AK

MY FIANCS 2000 GRAND AM HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FLASHER HAZARD AND TURN SIGNALS. THE FLASHER FOR THESE CIRCUITS IS CONSTANTLY CLICKING WHEN NEITHER SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. IT IS A VERY IRREGULAR CLICKING MUCH FASTER THAN NORMAL. NONE OF THE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING ON (INDICATING A DIRECT SHORT TO GROUND TO ME). WHEN EITHER SWITCH IS ACTIVATED, THE CLICKING IS NORMAL SLOWER RHYTHMIC SOUND AND THE LIGHTS APPEAR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. A PONTIAC SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT FROM THE NUMBER OF REPAIRS THEY HAVE DONE IN RECENT MONTHS, THE PROBLEM IS A SHORTING IN THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. THE COST OF REPAIR IS ABOUT $400 TO $500, DUE TO THE TIME INVOLVED (TWO HOURS OR MORE) AND THE COST OF THE PART ($300  $350). HE STATED THAT AS LONG AS YOU CAN LIVE WITH THE NOISE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. MY FIANC MAKES ABOUT $800 A MONTH AND THIS COST IS FAR MORE THAN SHE CAN AFFORD, SO SHE HAS DECIDED NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ONLY WAY THIS FLASHER WOULD CLICK IS IF POWER FLOWING THROUGH IT CAUSED BY A SHORT. THIS CONSTANT FLOW OF POWER BEING FED THROUGH THIS FLASHER, WHICH IS IN THE TOP CENTER OF THE DASH, I FEAR COULD EITHER CAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THESE CIRCUITS AND/OR CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING UNDER THE DASH AND STEERING COLUMN. IF INDEED THIS SHORT IS IN THE STEERING COLUMNS TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, COULD THIS ALSO BE A CONCERN FOR A PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVERS AIR BAG? *AK

ON MY 2000 GRAND AM THE TURN SIGNALS WILL WORK OK FOR A WHILE THEN THEY WILL STOP. AT THIS TIME THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH ALSO WILL NOT OPERATE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM WAS STARTED "BOTH" FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON (BOTH HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT TWICE AND CAN FIND NO PROBLEMS). NOW THE POWER DOOR SWITCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL WORK OFF AND ON ALONG WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE (THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOOR IS MANUALLY). ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT THE SAME TIME. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL #03V327000. SPOKE WITH GMC TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE MAYBE APRIL BEFORE LETTERS WOULD BE SENT AND THEY WERE NOT SURE MY VEHICLE WOULD BE INCLUDED. THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. IN 2003 I TRIED TO GET ROTOR REPLACED WHILE AUTO WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD A REPAIR SHOP TELL ME IT WAS BAD ROTOR THAT CAUSED PADS TO GO BAD. GMC ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER (WERE PURCHASED IT). DEALER SAID NO THE ROTOR WAS OK BUT THE PADS WERE BAD WHICH MADE THE ROTOR GO BAD. THIS RECALL NOTICE WAS VSG19990282. HOWEVER BECAUSE DEALER DISAGREED WITH REPAIR SHOP I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I WROTE TO GMC ON APRIL 9, 2003 AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. *AK

WATER LEAKED INTO THE CAR AND COLLETED BEHIND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT ON THE FLOOR. I HAD BOOKS LYING ON THE FLOOR AT THE TIME THAT WERE DAMAGED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE DOOR LINING. THEY REPLACED IT. 6 MONTHS LATER IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM! FIGURE IT OUT!!!*AK

DEXCOOL ISSUES COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE , ENGINE KNOCK DUE TO GASKET FAILURE , WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, FIRE , DEATH COULD RESULT. *LA

ROTORS WARPED AFTER 11000 MILES . TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER . RESURFACED ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS. GOT A LECTURE ABOUT MY DRIVING PROBLEMS. NOTICED A PROBLEM AT 20000 MILES ROTOR VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR PLACE AT 240000 MILES AND HAD THE ROTOR RESURFACED AGAIN. CAR HAS 30000 MILES ON IT NOW AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT FROM A DEALER IN FLORIDA, THE CAR HAD 7 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. FROM THE FIRST DAY WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING, IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT ALWAYS. THE DEALER ATTEMTED TO FIX THE CAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, FINALLY THEY TOLD US THE STEERING RACK WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT, THE CAR WOULD MAKE NOISE TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, AND A BUMP COULD BE FELT COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR BY TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE STEERING RACK WENT BAD AGAIN JUST BEFORE 50,000 MILES AND WAS ONCE AGAIN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, THE STEERING RACK THAT WAS REPLACED THEN HAS WENT BAD AGAIN, AROUND 85,000 MILES. IT DOES THE EXACT SAME THING THE FIRST TWO DID, THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND PONTIAC WANTS OVER 1,100.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS WILL MAKE THE FOURTH STEERING RACK THAT WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE INSTALLED, WE FEEL THAT PONTIAC KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM IN OUR OPINION LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE 2000 MODEL GRAND AM GT CAME WITH VARIABLE EFFORT STEERING, IN 2002 THEY REPLACED IT WITH SOMETHING ELSE.WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS. SINCERLY RUSSELL GEYER. *AK

DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW COMES OFF TRACK. REGULATOR BAD

I OWN A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM WHICH WAS PURCHASED AT NORTHSHORE PONTIAC BUICK GMC IN MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TOWED A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES TO DATE SINCE THE PROBLEM BEGAN APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. I OR MY MOTHER WILL DRIVE THE CAR AND WILL BE ACCELERATING TO APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH AND OUT OF NOWHERE, IT STALLS. ON 2 OCCASIONS, I AND MY MOTHER WERE ALMOST FATALLY INJURED AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND NARROWLY MISSED REARENDING US. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND URGE YOU PLEASE TO INVESTIGATE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS THEY ARE BOUND TO KILL SOMEONE. I WORK AT A LOCAL T.V. MEDIA OUTLET AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH OUR CONSUMER EDITOR WHICH IS GOING TO BE LOOKING INTO THE MATTER AND GOING PUBLIC IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. IN BRINGING THIS CAR TO THE DEALER, NORTHSHORE PONTIAC BUICK GMC, WHERE WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH [XXX] (SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER), HE HAS ADMITTED THERE IS AN "INTERMITTENT PROBLEM" UNKNOWN TO THEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS ITEMS WITH THE HOPE THAT THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, HOWEVER IT CONTINUES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THEIR POSSESSION WHERE AS THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOR THE SECOND TIME. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE ON 12/16/03 FROM THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN, WHICH REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL, BELIEVING THAT WOULD BE THE VEHICLE'S STALLING SOLUTION, THE VEHICLE REPEATED ITS DEFECT 2 DAYS LATER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE SO

MY 2000 PONTAIC GRAND AM GT (V6) HAS AN INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS IS SUCH A FREQUENT PROBLEM, AS IT SEEMS TO BE, WHY DOESN'T PONTAIC DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT AND KEEP THEIR CONSUMERS HAPPY? *AK

HAZARD WARNING SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND IS NOW GOING OUT GMC WEBSITE STATES IT HAS BEEN RECALLED, BUT WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP I AM TOLD MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. SO I WAS ADVISED TO CALL MY DEALER AGAIN THEY WERE NO HELP STATING THE SAME MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. *AK

YESTERDAY MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR BROKE OFF AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. TEN MONTHS AGO MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR DID THE SAME THING AT A DIFFERENT CAR WASH. IS THERE A RECALL?

I HAVE MY PONTIAC GRAND AM FOR 3 YRS NOW AND IN THE 3 YEARS I HAVE PUT 8 SETS OF BRAKE PADS, 3 SETS OF ROTORS AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CALIPERS. I HAD THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT PONTIAC DEALERS ONE WAS 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHSED THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES ARE NOT A WARRENTY ITEM AND THAT I WAS TO HARD ON THE BRAKES. THE OTHER DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT BRAKES ARE WEARING BECAUSE THE BACK BRAKES ARE NOT ADJUSTING RIGHT, SO THAT DEALER FIX THE BACK BRAKES AT NO CHARGE TO ME. WILL HERE IT IS 2YRS AND 6 MONTHS LATE I'M STILLING HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. I FEEL I CAN NOT TRUST THE PONTIAC DEALERS TO FIX MY CAR. I FEEL THAT PONTIAC SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME OR RECALL THIS CARS FOR BRAKING PROBLEMS. I CAN'T KEEP REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND CALIPOR ON THE CAR IT IS A VERY COSTLY THING TO DO. I HAVE CALLED THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND TOLD THEM EVERYTHING AND THEY DID NOTHING. I HAVE RESENTLY EMAILED PONTIAC DIRECT. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING AS OF YET. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM THEM THEN THE NEXT STEP IS TO MY LAWYER FOR A LAW SUIT. SO WITH THIS I HOPE THAT PONTIAC DOES SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THERE FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM. IF IT COMES DOWN TO A LAW SUIT I HOPE THAT EVERY ONE WHO OWN A 2000 GRAND AM GET EITHER THERE MONEY PAY FOR THE CAR OR THEY GET THERE BRAKES FIX RIGHT.*AK
