2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

WHILE DRIVING APPLIED ON BRAKES AND WITHOUT WARNING BRAKES FAILED. DEALER HAS REPLACED BRAKE SYSTEM 6 TIMES WITHOUT REPAIRS.*AK

TRANSMISSION WILL LOSE ONE GEAR AFTER THE OTHER, TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. AT THIS TIME, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED A 5TH TIME. DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO CODE GIVEN IN VEHICLE THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. *AK *YH

I NO LONGER OWN THIS CAR, BUT HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER GRAND AM OWNERS THE SAME STORY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND EXPENSIVE IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THESE INCIDENTS, SO THAT FUTURE ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED. LUCKILY MY GRAND AM WAS LEASED. IT WENT BACK AFTER THE LEASE WAS OVER. I FELT THAT IT WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES AFTER 24000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY LEASED BY MY MOTHER, BUT I DROVE THE CAR AND MADE THE PAYMENTS. THE NAME ON THE LEASE WOULD HAVE BEEN DOROTHY COOL. I HOPE THAT THESE CLAIMS WILL BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF OTHER GM OWNERS.*JB
