I THINK GRANDAM HAS THE WORST BRAKING SYSTEM ON THEIR CARS. I SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ALONE ON BRAKES. I'VE ASKED SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ALSO OWN A GRANDAM AND THEY SAY THE SAME THING I CHANGE MY BRAKES AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A YEAR. I OWN A 98 PONTIAC GRANDAM AND AS SOON AS I FINISH PAYING ON IT I AM GETTING RID OF IT.*AK

I OWN A 1998 PONTIAC GRAND AM ,AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I WANT TO TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED -BUT PONTIAC/GMAC WILL NOT PROVIDE A LOANER CAR FOR ME TO USE WHILE THEY FIX MY CAR-THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE 5-6 HOURS TO FIX-THEIR LETTER TO ME SAID IT WOULD ONLY TAKE AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF. I CANNOT BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER 6 HOURS! I NEED TO GET TO WORK!! I AM STUCK WITHOUT ANY OPTIONS, OTHER THAN HAVING TO INCONVENIENCE MYSELF AND HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THIS IS THEIR MISTAKE NOT MINE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY?!!! THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE , GMAC SHOULD PROVIDE A LOANER FOR THESE TYPES OF INSTANCES. *NM

WHEN BRAKING VEHICLE DIDN'T STOP AT THE DESIRED STOPPING POINT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INDICATED THAT ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC RECOMMENDS DISCONNECTING THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. *AK
