My car, which is a 94 grand am, is a good running car but I been working on it hard time for 5 weeks trying to get it to run. It has some problem where the fuel pump fuse keeps on blowing on it. I replace spark plug coil, fuel injectors, fuel pump, fuel filter, under the hood wiring harness, control module, ignition switch, vacuum lines, and the little box that sounds off your alarm when you leave the lights on and/or keys in the ignition when you open your door. I don't know what else to do I am tired of busting my butt on it. It takes a lot for me to say that.

I bought this car used at a dealership, I.e., bill kelley chevrolet, and was not given information about the recalls . The car has not been able to work properly and the dealer who sold us the car refuses to give us any help. My son paid an additional 300 to get the car in working order and 3 days later it is still not working. I believe they should have informed us of the recall notices to repair said car.
