1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

PARTS FALLING OFF CAR- RIGHT DOOR PANEL, RIGHT SIDE MIRROR, BUTTON ON GEARSHIFT, DRIVER SIDE CONTROL PANEL(BUTTONS FOR WINDOWS,DOOR, LOCKS,MIRROR) . *AK

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING - REPLACED BATTERY/ALTERNATOR- PROBLEM IS IN WIRING??? FYI.....3RD ALTERNATOR PUT IN CAR SINCE PURCHASED. *AK

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES. I"VE HAD THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED THREE TIMES. AND TO THIS DAY I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THEY ARE WARPPED AGAIN. I'VE ALSO HAD THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED TWICE, DUE TO FLUID LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF IT. I NOW HAVE 56K ON IT NOW AND THERE IS STILL A CLUNK WHENEVER I STEER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THAT THE DEALERSHIP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME, I WON'T BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC.*AK

THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD FLASHERS WORK VERY POORLY...I HAVE HAD TIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR NOW, AND EVERY DAY THEY STOP WORKING....I HAVE CONTACTED TO DEALER MANY TIMES, BUT EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THE HAZARD SWITCH MIGHT BE BAD..WHICH IS THE SAME COMPONENT THAT WENT BAD IN THE 95-ERA GRAND AMS THAT MADE THEM EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM, LEADING PONTIAC TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEM....SO IT NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED!...THEY WILL STOP WORKING FOR NO REASON AND THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A FEW ACCIDENTS....AND ONE TIME WHEN I NEEDED TO PLACE MY HAZARD FLASHERS ON, THEY WILL NOT WORK....VERY DANGEROUS...THESE ARE SUPPOSEDTO BE A SAFETY DEVICE THAT DOESNT WORK..PLEASE TRY TO RECALL THESE! PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS OF GRAND AMS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS!!! AND I HAVE TALKED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES EXACTLY....

WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SPRING SNAPPED AT THE BOTTOM. THE SPRING PUNCTURED THE TIRE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AS THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE COLLAPSED TO THE GROUND AND SKID APPROXIMATELY 15 FEET TO A STOP. THE TIRE DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT SPRINGS, THE TIRE AND STRUTS. *CB *SCC *NLM

WHILE DRIVING I TRIED TO OPEN MY DRIVER (POWER) WINDOW A LITTLE AND IT WENT CRASHING DOWN. ALL CLIPS WERE WORN OUT, TWO OF THEM ARE ONLY SOLD WITH THE TRACK. *AK

1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM, FRONT BRAKE PROBLEMS, SHAKES VIOLENTLY, DOES NOT STOP WELL. REPLACED PAD AND RESURFACED ROTORS, STILL HAVE PROBLEMS.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE ALL LOCK UP - THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD (NO CHILD LOCKS ARE NOT IN USE) AND YOU CANNOT ENTER THE VEHICLE AT ALL. A MECHANIC HAS THOROUGHLY CHECKED THE VEHICLE - THEY ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED! I ALSO HAVE BROWN SPOTS COMING THROUGH THE PAINT JOB - IT IS A WHITE VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS LEAKING COOLANT, WHICH IN TURN CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. CURRENTLY, ENGINE HAS SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *AK
