Pontiac Grand Am Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | Oct 15, 1999
Reported on Oct 15, 1999
| I BOUGHT THE GRAND AM USED WHICH HAD 280 MILES ON IT. EVER SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY CAR HAS HAD APPROXIMIATLY 8 SETS OF ROTORS AND 4 SETS OF BRAKE PADS. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR AND HAS ONLY 27900 MILES ON IT. THE NEW DESIGN ROTORS AND PADS WERE SUPPOSED TO CORRECT THE BRAKE PULSATION, BUT THEY HAVE NOT. I HAVE HAD ABOUT 3 SETS OF THE NEW DESIGN COMPONENTS. BOTH REAR WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO MISPLACED PARTS IN THE WINDOW COMPONENTS. I HAVE ALSO HAD 2 OIL LEAKS ON THE VEHICLE, ONE ON THE REAR SEAL, THE OTHER INSIDE THE ENGINE, WHICH REQUIRED REPLACING DIFFERENT GASKETS UNDER THE INTAKE SYSTEM. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE PLAY BUTTON FOR THE TAPES DID NOT WORK. I HAVE ALSO HAD MOLDING ON THE DOORS OF THE VEHICLE REPLACED DUE TO PAINT CHIPPING OFF AND WARPED PARTS. I AM SOON GOING TO BE GETTING THE 2 FRONT GRILLS REPLACED DUE TO CROME CHIPPING OFF OF THEM. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PURCHASE A GRAND AM. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT LEAT ONCE A MONTH. THE REPARIS ARE COMPLETED AT ANOTHER PONTIAC DEALER OTHER THAN WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE OF THEIR HORRIBLE SERVICE. I NOW GET SERVICED AT SAPAUGH GM IN HERCULANEUM, MO, WHO HAS BEEN WONDERFUL AS FAR AS CUSTOMER SERVICE. I OWNED A FORD PRODUCT BEFORE THE PURCHASE OF MY GM PRODUCT--I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. MINE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT HEADACHES. *AK | |
