| 2000 | WHEELS | FILE DATE 5/2/2000 MFR. INVOLVED GENERAL MOTORS CORP. NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 00V116000 MFR. CAMPAIGN # 00041 COMPONENT AFFECTED SUSPENSION:REAR # VEHICLES AFFECTED 23 DEFECT VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM TO THE LEFT REAR KNUCKLE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS DURING ASSEMBLY. CONSEQUENCE THE BOLT COULD BACK COMPLETELY OUT OF THE JOINT AFFECTING VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTIVE ACTION DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THIS BOLT. ------------------------------ I HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR WHEEL BEARING ON THE LEFT REAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER, THAT THIS DID NOT APPLY TO MY 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE, . EACH BEARING IS $ 300- 400, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD TO REPLACE IN OTHER BEARINGS EXCEPT THE LEFT REAR. COULD THE ABOVE RECALL AFFECT THAT WHEEL BEARING, AND HOW MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE THAT IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING ON MY CAR, COULD THERE HAVE BEEN MORE OF A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT REAR SUSPENSION OF THIS VEHICLE? ALSO WHEN BREAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, THE NEW LEFT REAR BRAKE SHOE CRACKED IN HALF AS A RESULT OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING HAVING ISSUES. *TR |
| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | MY 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM HAS A BAD INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES. MY FRIEND OWNS A REPAIR SHOP, AND SAYS HE GETS AT LEAST ONE GM PRODUCT A WEEK WITH A 3.4 LITER ENGINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY ALSO HAVE BLOWN HEAD GASKETS!! THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND COSTLY PROBLEM, AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED!! THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD FOR EVERY CONSUMER TO BE STUCK WITH A $500-3000 REPAIR BILL!!!!!!*AK |
