2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT LET ME START IT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND AM PREGNANT AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE LIGHT COMES ON, I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR 30MIN.- 1 HR. BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL START. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE SERVICE DEALER, AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. IF NOTHING IS WRONG, WHY DOES IT KEEP HAPPENING?? A FRIEND OF MINE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET STRANDED.*AK

WAS PULLING OUT OF GARAGE AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE CAR. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG SO I CONTINUED BACKING UP. THE NOISE DID NOT STOP. I PULLED FORWARD TO GO BACK INTO THE GARAGE AND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE POPPED. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF I COULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE SHREDDS OF MY TIRE IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE WRECKER. WE TOOK OFF THE FLAT TIRE TO SEE THAT THE LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN AND CUT MY TIRE ALL THE WAY AROUND. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO SMITH AUTO SALES IN LEBANON,NH TO BE FIXED. BOTH FRONT SPRINGS WERE REPLACED AND FRONT END ALIGNED. I AM CONCERNED IF THIS SPRING HAD BROKEN WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED.*AK

LEFT COIL SPRING BROKE RESULTING IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR DROPPING TO THE GROUND.*MR THE CONSUMER SON LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE COIL SPRING FAILED . THE FRONT TIRE ALSO BLEW OUT DUE TO THE COIL SPRING FAILURE. *JB

TURN SIGNALS CAME ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. ALSO, THE HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A WORN OUT PART. *AK

BRAKES GRINDING. BOUGHT CAR USED THREE WEEKS AGO, NOTICED BRAKES GRINDING. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES AND TURNED THE ROTORS. BRAKES STILL GRIND AND ROTORS FORM LAYER OF RUST WHILE JUST WASHING THE CAR!*AK

A WARPING OF THE FRONT ROTORS MAY CAUSE THE BRAKES TO VIBRATE DURING BREAKING AND CAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM FAILURE INDICATOR TO GO ON. *AK DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW: CABLE FOR THE POWER WINDOW WILL BIND UP BEHIND THE PULLEY AND MAKE THE WINDOW INOPERATIONAL. IN SOME CASES THE CABLE PULLED OFF THE PULLEY AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO DROP AND SMASH INTO PIECES.
