Pontiac Grand Am Exterior Lighting Headlights Concealment Devices Safety Report | July 14, 2005
Reported on July 14, 2005
| I AM SEEKING ADVICE ABOUT A MATTER PERTAINING TO THE CAR I MOMENTARILY OWN. I BELIEVE THAT THE CAR SOLD TO ME HAS BEEN IN ACCIDENT AND REPAIRED. THE BRAKES FEEL AS IF THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE OUT AND HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY FROM THE BEGINNING. AFTER INFORMING AND BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY FELT ALL THAT WAS NEEDED WAS FOR THEM TO BE LUBED. THEY SAY THE CAR IS FINE BUT I AM THE ONE DRIVING IT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. I WENT TO A FEW DEALERSHIPS TO OBTAIN OTHER OPINIONS AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND FINALLY THEY REALIZED THE BRAKES WERE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE. PARTS WERE REPAIRED. FOR A FEW WEEKS THE CAR WAS RUNNING OK BUT THE BRAKES WERE STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I FELT A BUCKING EVERYTIME I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. THE NEXT TIME THE ROTORS WERE FIXED. I HAVE INVOICES TO BACK WHAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2003 AND IN THE BEGINNING OF 2004 THE PROBLEMS ALREADY STARTED AND HAVE NOT STOPPED SINCE. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL DECEMBER 2003, SINCE I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY IN NOVEMBER. THE PAINT ON THE HOOD STARTED IN 2004 TO COME OFF. THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAINTED. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS FOG UP, WATER CONDENSATION IS BUILDING UP. THE CAR IS RUNNING AS IF THE BOTTOM WILL FALL OFF. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD CAR. EVERY TIME I SAY THAT THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY AND ASK THEM TO TEST DRIVE IT, THEY ONLY FIX WHAT I STATE WHAT I THINK IS WRONG. I ASK YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND SEE IF YOU CAN HELP ME CLEAR UP THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY MORE INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. I AM STATING THE VIN [XXX]. THANK YOU. [XXX]. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | |
