Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Ignition Module Safety Report | Feb 23, 2005
Reported on Feb 23, 2005
| I HAVE NOTICED A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED PADS AND ROTORS, I REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS AND THE ABS, TRAC OFF, AND THE SERVICE VEHICLE SOON LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A SPEED SENSOR BECAUSE IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND BECAUSE IT IS INSIDE THE WHEEL HUB I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THESE THINGS ALSO. $700.00 LATER THE LIGHTS WERE STILL COMING ON AND THE BRAKES WAS STILL MAKING THIS STRANGE NOISE. I RETURNED THE CAR AND AFTER INSPECTION WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS WIRES WERE BUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $200.00 LATER THE CAR IS STILL MAKING THESE NOISES AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL COMING ON. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK AGAIN FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE MANIFOLD REPLACED IT AT $700.00, THE IGNITION FORTUNATELY FOR ME IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTIONING. *NM | |
