Pontiac Grand Am Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Emission Control Safety Report | Feb 10, 2004
Reported on Feb 10, 2004
| I HAVE THREE COMPLAINTS ON MY 2000 GRAND AM SE: 1. I JUST HAD TO REPLACE MY INTAKE MANIFOLD. IT HAD A HAIRLINE CRACK IN IT THAT THE DEALER INFORMED ME HAD TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT BECAUSE IT COULDN'T HAVE CRACKED ON ITS OWN. I PAID $600 TO HAVE THIS FIXED IN TOTAL. 2. MY AIR CONDITIONER HASN'T HELD A CHARGE SINCE THE END OF 2003. I HAVEN'T HAD THAT REPAIRED YET SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT WILL COST. 3. MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I'M NEVER SURE IF THERE IS OR ISN'T A PROBLEM. ONE DAY IT'S ON, THE NEXT DAY IT'S OFF. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD CAN HAVE SO MANY ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES ONCE AND ALREADY NEED TO DO SO AGAIN. HOWEVER, I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND AIR CONDITIONER. AN AIR CONDITIONER SHOULDN'T GO OUT ON A THREE YEAR OLD CAR. THAT IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE. I STILL OWE TWO MORE YEARS ON THE CAR AND AM AFRAID OF WHAT WILL BREAK NEXT. I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS DEFAULT ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I JUST LOVED MY CAR WHEN I GOT IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO CONSTANTLY BE PAYING FOR MAJOR REPAIRS ON A VEHICLE THAT SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THEM. | |
