Pontiac Grand Am Service Brakes, Hydraulic Foundation Components Disc Rotor Safety Report | June 19, 2002
Reported on June 19, 2002
| PONTIAC HAS BEEN CONTACTED REGARDING THIS. THE DEALER WHICH SOLD ME THE VEHICLE AND MY CURRENT DEALER THAT IS SERVICING THE VEHICLE HAS REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS SEVERAL TIMES BEYOND A NORMAL RANGE OF NEEDING REPLACEMENT. UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, PONTIAC REFUSED TO PAY FOR THIS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM BRAKING SYSTEM. THEIR ANSWER IS, IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS! THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ANY COSTS FOR THIS ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, BUT ADVISED ME TO HOLD ONTO MY RECEIPTS IN CASE PONTIAC DECIDES TO DO THINS IN THE FUTURE. THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED AND REPLACED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 3000-6000 MILES, WHICH IS NOT NORMAL! ANY HELP ON THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
