2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

WHILE DRIVING 25MPH HAD EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, AND REPLACED ROTORS EVERY 10,000 MILES.*AK

THERE IS A NOISE THAT COMES FROM FRONT TIRE, THIS USUALLY HAPPENS MORE WHEN CONSUMER IS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

CONSUMER STATE THE POWER STEERING HOSE ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP SEPARATED CAUSING THE FLUID TO LEAK RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*JB

CONSUMER STATES AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS JUST BEFORE STOPPING, THERE WAS A SCRAPING/RUBBING SOUND THAT WOULD COME FROM THE FRONT END, NEW FRONT DISK BRAKE PADS WERE INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW ROTORS, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ALUMINUM SPORT WHEELS AND THE ORIGINAL GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES, P225/50R16, DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS WAS A TIRE PROBLEM AND THAT A NEW SET OF TIRES SHOULD REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *SLC

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THEY WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR COST $1,200.00. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NEW) I NOTICED A DRY SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. DEALER SAID IT WAS FROM SITTING ON THE LOT AND HAD COLLECTED DUST. AT APPROX 12000 MILES MY BRAKES STARTED TO CREAK WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT 35,800 MI THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME AND NOT NEAR A DEALER. DISTANCE FOR STOPPING HAS ALSO INCREASED. HAVE NOT NOTIFIED DEALER SEEING AS THOUGH MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I SHOULD ADD THAT 20,000 ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. *AK

ENGINE SEALS LEAK AND DEALER WILL NOT FIX. GMC CONSIDERS IT SEEPAGE AND WON'T DO A DAM THING. I STILL HAVE FRONT END VIBRATING PROBLEMS CAUSED BY ROTORS. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BEFORE. PRESENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE SHACKING IN THE FRONT END.*AK

BRAKES WILL NOT HOLD WHEN BEING APPLIED, AND VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP. CONSUMER STATED PART WAS REPLACED 7 TIMES. PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. *AK . VEHICLE ALSO HAD A SUSPENSION PROBLEM, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, AND CONSUMER WAS COMPLAING OF POOR ACCELERATION, DEALER REPLACED THE PCV VALVE AND FILTER.*YH

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 55-65MPH VEHICLE VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TIRES, EXCHANGED THEM, AND BALANCED THE TIRES. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED VEHICLE WILL SHAKE AND BRAKES WILL MAKE A LOUD NOISE. HAD PARTS REPLACED 7 TIMES, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING.*AK
