| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK | WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (NEW) I NOTICED A DRY SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. DEALER SAID IT WAS FROM SITTING ON THE LOT AND HAD COLLECTED DUST. AT APPROX 12000 MILES MY BRAKES STARTED TO CREAK WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT 35,800 MI THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME AND NOT NEAR A DEALER. DISTANCE FOR STOPPING HAS ALSO INCREASED. HAVE NOT NOTIFIED DEALER SEEING AS THOUGH MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I SHOULD ADD THAT 20,000 ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO. *AK |
| 2002 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:REAR WINDOW | I RENTED A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM ON FEB. 04, 2003. IT WAS VERY COLD, AT NIGHT, AND SNOWING HEAVILY. I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFOGGER. IT FAILED TO CLEAR THE REAR WINDOW, AND I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AFTER NOTICING THAT IT HAD TURNED OFF. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED; THERE WAS NO PROJECTILE FOUND. MY WIFE, WHO WAS WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT, AND WE SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, YET WE ARE BEING CHARGED BY BUDGET, WHO WAS CHARGED BY THE DEALER, FOR THE REPAIR. *JB |
