• 12/27/2006· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  I OWN A 1999 GRAND AM SE THAT I PURCHASED USED IN 2001. IN THE 5 YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THE HEATER FAN MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. IT STARTS OUT WITH ONLY A FEW OF THE FAN SPEEDS WORKING THEN A TERRIBLE SMELL WITH SMOKE COMING UP THROUGH THE DASHBOARD THEN THE FAN DOESN'T WORK ON ANY OF THE SPEEDS. IN EACH OF THESE EPISODES THE BLOWER RESISTER GOT MELTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN OCTOBER 2006 MY CAR HAD TO BE SENT TO AN ELECTRICAL MECHANIC DUE TO A SHORT IN THE WIRING WHICH RESULTED IN THE DASH HAVING TO BE REMOVED THEN THE FAN MOTOR AND FAN RESISTER COULD BE REPLACED. IN 2006 I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW WHEN IT FINALLY JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR TO THE COST OF $250.00 AND A RENTAL CAR FOR 2 DAYS DUE TO THE WRONG PART BEING DELIVERED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I'VE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT BRAKES AND THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS A LOUD POP EVERY TIME IT IS OPENED, I'M SCARED OF GETTING AN ESTIMATE ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE EVERY REPAIR FOR MY GRAND AM IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE, WHEN I QUESTION THE COST I ALWAYS HEAR "WELL IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A GRAND AM, THEY'RE A PIECE OF CRAP, ESPECIALLY THE 1999'S". *JB

• 12/19/2000· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,POWER TRAIN,TIRES

  WE HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DOOR PANELS PEELED OFF THE TWO REAR DOORS AND WERE REPLACED, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON, THE HINGES ON THE DRIVER DOOR KEEP GETTING STUCK AND SOMETIMES THE DOOR WON'T EVEN SHUT, IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR, AND NOW THE ROTORS/BRAKES ARE OUT. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN. WE TAKE IT MONTHLY IF NOT MORE OFTEN. THIS IS CERTAINLY A BURDEN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT INFORMATIVE. THEY DON'T EXPLAIN WHY THESE THINGS HAPPEN NOR DO THEY TELL US IF THEY HAVE ORDERED PARTS FOR THE VEHICLE. WE GET CARDS IN THE MAIL WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN AND WE MUST SCHEDULE YET ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. THE BRAKE ISSUE IS EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN WE ONLY HAVE 16,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. NEVER BEFORE HAVE I OWNED SUCH A LEMON. THIS IS OUR SECOND BRAND NEW CAR AND THE OTHER HAS HAD ZERO PROBLEMS AND IT IS A 1998 MALIBU WITH ALMOST 60,000 MILES. THIS MAKES NO SENSE AND PONTIAC IS DOING LITTLE TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. *AK

• 12/15/2005· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  AFTER ABOUT 100,000 MILES, I WAS TOLD THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET ON MY PONTIAC GM 1999 GRAND AM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND AFTER INVESTIGATION I SAW THAT THE DEXCOOL COOLANT WAS TO BLAME FOR WEARING OF THIS INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET). OF COURSE, MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND GM WILL NOT COVER IT. IF I DIDN'T PAY (OR HAVE ) THE $1000 TO FIX THIS, I WAS PROBABLY GOING TO RUIN MY ENGINE. SO, I NEEDED TO SAVE UP, AND I AM AFRAID THAT WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN TOMORROW FOR REPAIRS, THEY WILL TELL ME THE ENGINE WILL HAVE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH THE DELCO INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. THIS WAS THE FIRST VEHICLE I PURCHASED AS NEW, AND EVEN THOUGH I WORK FOR THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY, THIS IS DETERRING ME FROM BUYING FROM GM AGAIN. I WOULD APPRECIATE THEM TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. *NM

• 12/06/2014· TIRES,WHEELS

  THE WALMART DOUGLAS BRAND PASSENGER CAR TIRES HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THE DOUGLAS TIRE I PURCHASED IN 10/13 HAS NOW DEVELOPED A NOTICEABLE BULGE ON THE SIDE WALL UNDERNEATH THE TIRE VALVE STEM AREA. HOWEVER, WALMART REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVELY MANUFACTURED TIRE EVENTHOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE BULGE, THE TIRE COULD OF BLOWN ON THE FWY AND COST ME MY LIFE. BUT THE EMPLOYEE SAID, SORRY.. I ASKED THE EMPLOYEE HOW OLD WAS THE TIRE AT THE TIME I PURCHASED IT. BUT HE COULD SAY. AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION, THE WALMART MECHANIC / EXPERT WOULD OF NOTICED THE BULGE WHICH WAS MINOR AT THE TIME, AS I HAD NOTICED BUT THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT SINCE I AM NOT AN EXPERT. AS THIS WAS THE ONLY TIRE SIZE MY WALMART STORE HAD IN STOCK FOR MY CAR, I PURCHASED IT WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF BRAND. IN OTHER WORDS, I WOULD OF BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BRAND TIRE IF THE SHELVES HAD IN MY SIZE. FURTHER, I BELIEVE WALMART IS AWARE OF ITS DEFECTIVE TIRE'S WHICH I DISCOVERED TODAY THAT THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA. SUPPOSEDLY, DOUGLAS TIRE IS A SUBSIDIARY OF GOODYEAR. SO I HAVE EMAILED THEM WITH MY CONCERN AND REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE WALMART SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR KNOWINGLY SELLING A POORLY MANUFACTURED PRODUCT FOR AUTOMOBILES. EVIDENCE OF THE UNSAFE TIRES ARE POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

  THERE ARE ONLY TWO VERY SMALL AREAS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHERE THE HORN CAN BE ACTIVATED. THESE MUST BE PRESSED VERY PRECISELY WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF FORCE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNSAFE BECAUSE THE EXTRA TIME TO FIND AND HIT THESE SPOTS GIVE ONE TO TWO ADDITIONAL SECONDS TO SOUND THE HORN, WILL RESULT IN NOT ALLOWING THE PERSON WARNED TO HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO RESPOND. *NLM

  THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES DUE TO WARPING. WE HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED 4 TIMES AND WERE TOLD THAT THE LAST 2 SETS OF BRAKES AND ROTORS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF GOING TO ARBITRATION TO GET OUT OF OUR LEASE. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AGAIN. GM SEEMS TO THINK THE PROBLEM EXISTS DUE TO OUR LOCATION AND THE WAY WE DRIVE. AFTER REVIEWING THIS PAGE, I SEE THAT OUR PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED NUMBEROUS CONSUMERS JUST LIKE US. HOW CAN IT BE RESOLVED?*AK
