Consumer has had the steering pump replaced 4 times. Rack was leaking, and another leak was found. Dealer said nothing was wrong with vehicle. Vehicle was being repaired under warranty. Also, transmission was slipping, and there was a transmission leak about 4 months ago. Dealer was suppose to have repaired the problems, but the problems keep reoccurring. *ak the horn malfunctions after being repaired twice. The fog lights are holding moisture. Speaker on passenger side failed. Radio sisplay is scrambled due to internal short. Right rear power window was inoperative due to switch failure. Trunk release inoperative due to chaffed wire.

I bought the grand am used which had 280 miles on it. Ever since the date of purchase, I have had nothing but continuous problems. The major problem is the braking system. My car has had approximiatly 8 sets of rotors and 4 sets of brake pads. I have owned the vehicle for 1 year and has only 27900 miles on it. The new design rotors and pads were supposed to correct the brake pulsation, but they have not. I have had about 3 sets of the new design components. Both rear windows have been replaced due to misplaced parts in the window components. I have also had 2 oil leaks on the vehicle, one on the rear seal, the other inside the engine, which required replacing different gaskets under the intake system. The radio was replaced because the play button for the tapes did not work. I have also had molding on the doors of the vehicle replaced due to paint chipping off and warped parts. I am soon going to be getting the 2 front grills replaced due to crome chipping off of them. I would not recommend anyone to purchase a grand am. My vehicle is in the repair shop at leat once a month. The reparis are completed at another pontiac dealer other than where I purchased the car because of their horrible service. I now get serviced at sapaugh gm in herculaneum, mo, who has been wonderful as far as customer service. I owned a ford product before the purchase of my gm product--I don't know if I'll ever purchase another gm product. Mine has been nothing but headaches.
Air conditioner willnot blow any air on level 1 , 2 or 3, necessary in florida, car pulsates when brakes applied, has dealer look at it and replaced brakes, pads and rotors, have had power windows replaced twice due to scratches inside and out, vendor will not tint windows until problem is resolved, glove box opens even when locked, have had console secure clip replaced due to recent recall.
Washer fluid freezes in winter due to the poor design of of fluid tubing to the wipers. No heat from the engine ever gets near the tubing. This makes it dangerous when driving in bad weather conditions and the windshield starts to get dirt buildup. Very scary.
Ignition lock cylinder failed causing problems with power lock system. Yh (attorney for consumer)
Driver's side window broken on several occasions causing it to go off track, four repairs to fix properly. Mjs
While driving noticed white smoke coming from rear of vehicle. Coolant light on panel started flashing.heater hose had separated & leaked coolant on to the exhaust manifold. This has happened 3 times. Dealer replaced heater core 4times, and put new hose clamps on.
Scratches on both front windows.
Hub caps have been replaced because rattle was heard when hitting a bump. The rattle still exists and thought it could be the suspension? Windshield wiper blades don't hit the windshield properly. Most notable on the passenger side of the car. Paint also seems to be chipping in the front of the car.
