I have multiple complaints on this vehicle. Was bought as a used vehicle, past owner claims his daughter drove it to and from college. It is an ABS car with the 2.3 4 cylinder, auto trans, fwd se. The ABS system is messed up and when you try to stop the tires lock-up on you, the car will slide especially if the roads are wet and this is at a speed of not more than 15 MPH. Luckily we have avoided several accidents, but there is going to come a time we aren't that lucky. Also the headlights and dash lights work when they feel like it. The car won't stay cool no matter what I do to it, the thermostat and heater core were already removed from the car when we bought it. The electric fan does not work and I have replaced countless relays attempting to get this car to be dependable again. The tilt steering column needs work, because it moves when it shouldn't. We can't afford another vehicle because we are wasting money attempting to keep this one on the road. Yes it was a used car and we got what we paid for in reality. But the design of the car just plain out was a failure. Seriously the designers need to test their ideas more before putting them out on the market. We looked at a brand new kia yesterday and walked away from it, because it was never tested for safety. The manager of the dealership claimed they just didn't bother putting the safety ratings on the window sticker. I in fact researched the car and found it had never been tested for safety. Yes it is a brand new 2014 kia cadenza, don't buy one they aren't worth the almost $40,000 price tag. To top it off almost 90% of the car is built and manufactured in korea. Sorry just my opinion, if I'm going to spend that much money I will buy built american.

What 1994 Pontiac Grand Am owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer stated there was an electrical short in the switch that controlled the headlights. The headlights failed to come on.
While driving in fairly heavy rain, the turn signals stop functioning. After 2-3 days of dry weather, they begin functioning again. This has happened to me while on the freeway. It's horrifying. During my ownership, this has happened no less than 14 times.
Rear turn signals and brake lights are inoperable. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.
When clicking on bright lights ,lights go completly out until you click switch again .turn signal for right side does not work either after complete change of bulbs and fuses ,cruise control doesnt work either
Turning signal intermittently wouldn't work. Turning signal has a delayed response, sometimes coming on 2-3 minutes later or a hour later. Service manager indicated that mult-I function switches in grand ams are all a problem. Repair cost $200.
When you turn on the high beams the interior and headlights go out and the high beams never come on, when you turn the high beams off, the interior and headlights come back on only sometimes. The other times you have to turn the kights on and off several times to get any lights at all back on. This is very dangerous in the middle of the night on a long trip with my 2 children in the car! It was not a fun episode and thank goodness nobody was hurt. Everytime since that we have tried to get the high beams to work, the same thing happens
When driving at night and using , high beams, they would go out completely. Have taken to dealership and nothing was found. Currently, having problems with regular headlights going out. Would switch from high beams to headlights to high beams to get them to work.
Switching from high to low beams headlights shut off & use of hazard lights shut off turn signals until car sits overnight
Brake failed. Nlm. Consumer states prior to recall, a new starter was needed as well as a new engine and also a new lighting switch, consumer has also had to get new tires.
