| 2000 | STEERING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION MOUNT RUSTED AND FRACTURED. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. |
| 2001 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM IT SHUTS OFF. I CAN BE ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE CAR DIES. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND FUEL PUMP ALL WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. WE HAVE DONE A FULL TUNE UP TO THE CAR AS WELL. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND AFTER A WHILE IT STOPPED, NOW IT STARTED DOING THIS TO ME AGAIN YESTERDAY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN DURING AFTERNOON TRAFFIC THE CAR SHUT OFF 4 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND 1 TIME WHILE I WAS AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR DOES START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME AND I DO NOT WANT SOMETHING HORRIBLE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND NO RECALLS ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BUT HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY! *TR |
