Filed Nov 5, 2009 · Body · OH

In pontiac grand am's, there have been many drivers that have had problems with water leaks. These waters leaks flood the car compartment and can leave 1-4 inches of water in the car. Some cars have had the leak on the drivers side, which can cause an accident because of the water...even after you drain it, it will still leave the pedals wet/slippery which may cause a crash.

While driving in inclement weather water leaked into fuse box and ran onto the floor of the vehicle. Consumer took vehicle to dealer for inspection, and mechanic informed consumer that this vehicle was not on recall and warranty expired.

Water leaked into the car and colleted behind the driver and passenger seat on the floor. I had books lying on the floor at the time that were damaged. I took it to the dealership and they said it was the door lining. They replaced it. 6 months later it is leaking again. This is a common problem! Figure it out!!!

My car has been in the shop repeatedly for the brakes grinding and shaking when I brake. The rotors have been replaced twice for rusting and warping and the brakes once, under warranty. I have had water leaks, my dash has been replaced for warping, 2 door panels have been replaced for warping. I have 2 more that need to be replaced, but the dealership says "it's a common problem, but it's not covered under the extended warranty". I have lots of wind noise. A rotten egg smell in my car when driving it. I took my car to the dealer last week and they replaced a gasket/seal for a intake gasket leak. I went to pick up my car and it reeked of gasoline. They kept it another day and had to replace my fuel regulator. Now I cannot keep my windows closed because there is a odor of gas in my car, which causes my eyes to burn and water and my throat to burn. My hazards/blinkers have gone out once already. Two other times I had it in the shop for a clicking noise in my dash area and it was something with my hazards that had to be replaced. My passenger seat would not adjust, they say they fixed it? The transmission slips on occasion and that has been since I took possession of the lemon. My horn quit working and was finally fixed after repeatedly taking it into the dealer. It is hesitant to start at times and when it finally starts the front end shakes, like the motor mounts are bad.

When it rained hard, water leaked under both door panels (for many months prior to service at 31000 miles). Large quantities of water leaked in, saturating the carpets in both the front and rear seats on both sides of the car. Brought into dealership 08/03/01, and dealership removed door panels and added second strip of sealer to water deflectors for both left and right doors. Was told that this should have been factory-installed and was missing. Work covered under warranty. Solved problem.

When it rains the side door area seems to leak water onto back passenger side carpeting. Replacing seals and resetting door doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully floorboard is not rotting.
