2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW,THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHAKED AND VIBRATED WHEN BRAKING OR AT HIGH SPEEDS THE ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED THEY WERE WARPED,,AND THE MOTOR IS FAILING PUFFING BLUE SMOKE OUT AND CAN SMELL IT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *AK

I FOUND THE FIRST PROBLEM OF VIBRATION AROUND 3000K AND THERE WAS NO FORSEABLE PROBLEM. AROUND 6000K THE SHUTTERING BEGAN AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE TO SHAVE THE ROTORS AND PADS. AROUND 9000K ANOTHER SHUTTER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I'M CALLING THEM TOMOROW TO FIX IT AGAIN.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING, ALSO FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECT LEVELS OF FUEL, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHEN DRIVING AND UPON ACCELERATION CONSUMER NOTICED VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD. CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER NOTICED TRANSMISSION SENSOR WENT BAD, CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION SENSOR REPLACED TWICE. ALSO, POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING, CAUSING POOR STEERING CONTROL WHEN DRIVING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. *AK

CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. HAS BEEN TOWED IN FOUR TIMES. DEALERSHIP ADMITS THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM, BUT GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO QUIT.

LOWER LEFT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD (DRIVERS SIDE) CONTAINS BACKING FLAW, LOOKS LIKE SEPERATION FROM SEAL ON WINDOW, POSSIBLE WATER DAMAGE

WATER DEFLECTORS WARPED CAUSING A PUDDLE TO FORM ON BACK FLOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRUNK POPS OPEN FOR NO REASON BUT ONLY IF IT IS RAINING. WINDSHIELD LEAKED CAUSING WATER TO LEAK DOWN BY HOOD RELEASE AND UNDER DASH CAUSING ANOTHER PUDDLE ON FLOOR. I SHOULD ADD DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY REASON FOR TRUNK TO POP OPEN ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES.

INTERMITTENTLY, UPON STARTING VEHICLE ABS WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND REMAIN ON. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND IN A NORMAL MANNER, AND DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO PRESS ON THE PEDAL EXTREMELY HARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY. FINALLY, CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED WHICH SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSING HARD VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. NLM
