1994 PONTIAC GRAND AM Complaints

WHILE DRIVING COULD HEAR NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. HAD CONTACTED DEALER, BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE. IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

A PART OF ABS SYSTEM IS SHORTING OUT AND CAUSING THE ALTERNATER TO SHORT OUT.*AK

MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED TWICE, A BANGING NOISE OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT INTO GEAR, REPLACE FRONT ENGINE MOUNT AND STRUT

PRIOR TO RECALL THE STEERING COLUMN OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS STARTING IT, THE CONSUMER HAD THE STARTER, KEY SWITCH, TURN SIGNAL AND RELAY KIT REPLACED. *YH (RECALL # 00V287)

TURNING SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY WOULDN'T WORK. TURNING SIGNAL HAS A DELAYED RESPONSE, SOMETIMES COMING ON 2-3 MINUTES LATER OR A HOUR LATER. SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED THAT MULT-I FUNCTION SWITCHES IN GRAND AMS ARE ALL A PROBLEM. REPAIR COST $200. *AK

SINCE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL 00V287000 FOR IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE, INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE WILL NOT START UP UNTIL IT IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL. DEALER, JOHNSON AUTO PLACE, BRIGHTON, CO 303-654-1940, WANTS TO CHARGE CONSUMER TO INSPECT VEHICLE.*AK DEALER STATED THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO WITHOUT CHARGING HIM. *JB

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. EACH TIME I'VE PAID $400.00 TO REPAIR. THE STEERING CULUMN GETS LOOSE WHILE I AM DRIVING.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, SHORTLY THEREAFTER A ALRGE AMPOUNT OF BLACK SMOKE APEARED FROM TH EDRIVERS SIDE FOLLOWED BY FLAMES WHICH ENGULFED THE WHOLE DASH AREA.*AK

I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED (DUE TO RECALL) AND AM TOLD THE CAR IS FINE. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT DOESN'T START. TOWING IT BACK TO DEALER, I'M TOLD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BUT AM TOLD THAT IT'S JUST A COINCEDENCE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. EITHER THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T AWARE OF HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OR THE RECALL IS MASKING A LARGER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

SUDDEN IMMEDIATE FAILURE OF STEERING WHEEL TILT MECHANISM. CAUSED VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO SIDE BUT I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER WITHOUT IMPACT. FOLLOWING INCIDENT VEHICLE WAS BARELY DRIVEABLE DUE TO STEERING WHEEL PLAY.*AK
