I have a 2000 GT, 31k miles, love my Pontiacs so upon discontinuation of production, I bought the Ram Air Inducted hood aftermarket have had minor rear suspension issues but now I'm about to attempt an overwhelming feat by trying to tackle the commonly reported Power drivers seat non funct. issue, another commonly reported "Strange Front End Sound" problem among other minor probs. PLEASE? Any advice, help would be truly appreciated,,,HeLP!!
