2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

CAR WILL NOT START AFTER THE SECURITY LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING ON AND OFF THOUGHT NO BIG DEAL THE FIRST TIME JUST A ANOTHER EVERYDAY PROBLEM HAD CAR FIXED AND 500.00 DOLLARS LATER THE CAR IS REPAIRED AND BACK UP AND RUNNING. THEN IT JUST KEEPS DOING THE SAME OLD THING WONT START JUST HAVE TO TURN THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY START WHICH IS BECOMING A VERY BIG NUISANCE TO ME AND MY FAMILY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE CAN GET HURT OR KILLED, DUE TO THE FACT OF THE CAR SHUTTING OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHICH WITH NO MOTOR RUNNING YOU HAVE NO POWER FOR YOUR ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND YOUR STEERING. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS UNDER THE RECALL PROBLEMS BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ONGOING PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. NEED TO MENTION THAT IT GETS EXPENSIVE FOR THE REPAIR BILLS AND HAUL BILLS WHICH OCCURRED THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGER AND UNSAFE BEING OF THE CAR BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'LL BE WHEN THE CAR DECIDES TO NOT START OR IF YOUR IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WOULD HELP. *TR

I OWN A 2001 GRAND AM SE 2.4L. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. HERE'S THE LIST OF SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ON THE CAR: ALTERNATOR, STARTER, IGNITION MODULE, COILS AND HOUSING UNIT, AND NOW THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS JUNK!! THIS CAR HAS SEVERAL TIMES PUT ME IN DANGER BECAUSE OF IT STALLING JUST AFTER STOPPING OR JUST AFTER GOING AFTER A START. WHICH MEANS I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN IT STALLS. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FRIDAY TO GET THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM FIXED BECAUSE MY SECURITY LIGHT IS ON. I WANT THIS CAR TO BE RECALLED OR TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST AND TIME I'VE HAD TO PUT INTO THIS CAR WHICH IS A LOT$$$*JB

CLICKING COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD BEHIND THE HAZARD SWITCH. HAZARD SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED DUE TO RECALL, BUT CLICKING CONTINUED. IT CLICKED CONSTANTLY, HAZARDS AND TURN SIGNALS WORK.*AK

I HAVE A 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM. I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THE HAZARD SWITCH WAS RECALLED AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AFTER THAT I HAD A CLICKING NOISE THAT WAS INTERMITTENT SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN...STILL HAVE THE CLICKING NOISE. THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE PONTIAC'S AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ALONG WITH THE HAZARD SWITCH. IF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SUCH A KNOWN ISSUES I WOULD NOT BE COMPLAINING. MATTER OF FACT THIS IS MY FIRST COMPLAINT EVER ON A VEHICLE. I HOPE PONTIAC REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES FIRE OR SOMETHING THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, I DO THINK IT IS A DEFAULT AND PONTIAC SHOULD BE REIMBURSING FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL ON THE 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM WAS INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE SIGNAL IT WILL START THEN, WITHOUT WARNING, IT WILL BECOME INOPERATIVE. SOMETIMES THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH PONTIAC, AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL 03V327000. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 93000 MILES. *AK

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, IT WAS FOUND THAT COOLENT WAS LEAKING INTO THE OIL. THE CAUSE WAS FOUND TO BE A CRACKED LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. AS A RESULT, I AM FORCED TO PAY $800.00 TO HAVE THE GASKET REPLACED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO CORRECT AN ERROR THAT THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF BUT REFUSE TO CORRECT. THERE ARE TOO MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON GM VEHICLES FOR IT TO BE A COINCIDENCE. *NM
