Pontiac Grand Am Wheels Safety Report | Dec 13, 2004
Reported on Dec 13, 2004
| AFTER HAVING TO GET THE WHEELS BEARINGS REPLACED IN MY FRONT WHEELS, I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING/CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEELS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE AND THEY REPLACED THE BEARINGS AGAIN, BUT THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. THE THIRD AND FOURTH TIME I TOOK IT THERE THEY REPLACED CV JOINTS AND FRONT CONTROLS ARMS. THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I GAVE UP ON THAT GARAGE. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND PLACE WHERE THEY PRETTY MUCH TOOK APART EVERYTHING UNDER THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. FOUR MONTHS LATER I STILL HEAR THE CLICKING, AND I THINK THIS CURRENT PROBLEM IS RELATED. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LAST WEEK THE ABS, SERVICE VEHICLE SOON, AND TRACTION OFF LIGHT ALL CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG (NO CODES). AFTER I START MY CAR, THE FIRST FEW TIMES I BRAKE, IT MAKES A CLANKING NOISE AND THE BRAKES LOSE ALL PRESSURE FOR A FEW SECONDS. AFTER THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON THE BRAKES WORK FINE. CAR IS AT DEALER NOW. *JB | |
