Everyone knows that the dashboard of all 2001 pontiac grand ams are worthless. Before I mention that the window regulators go out frequently, and the blinker modules are pure junk causing the blinker to blink at high rate of speed when turning. They all go bad and make the cars look and sound like hell. This has been going on for many years like all the others writing in with the same demands. There must be a recall and if there isn't one, then gm is the sorriest bunch of unconcerned auto manufacturers in the business. It makes them look like thieves and I believe strongly about this and am following through with everything in my power to see that all of us are compensated. I will not cease to stop this pursuit. And this is not personal information. I will do whatever it takes to damage gm publicly, should this not be addressed. Anyone can call me at [xxx], my name is [xxx] . I live in [xxx]and I'm sick and tired of being walked all over. Just read the responses on-line concerning this issue. It should appalled the entire working staff at gm. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was leaving a doctor's appointment. When pulling out of my parking spot the car would not turn right. I turned the wheel back and forth as far as it would go. It would turn all the way left and not go right at all. I backed back into my parking spot. Took a look underneath and did not notice anything wrong. I got back in and tried turning the wheel again. This time the wheel turned both ways. I left the parking lot to return home. On the way home I heard some knocking sounds coming from the front end whenever I drove over a bump or pot hole. Also turning the car to the right did not feel or sound good. I decided to drive straight to my mechanic. In a couple of hours I got a phone call from my mechanic. It turns out the frame was totally rusted out. The frame being rusted out was causing the problems with steering. The car is only ten years old and has 36, 400 miles on it.

I purchased a used vehicle in march 2006. At that time I was provided a "car report" that showed no accident history/clean to everything. At a later time I went to purchase new insurance and I was first alerted to an "accident". I found out the vehicle was in an accident in june 2002, over $700.00 in damage. In 2003 again, was taken to a body shop for repairs. I have tried to work with the dealership to handle this situation. I took the vehicle to one of their vendors-same outcome. My vendor same outcome--extensive damage/frame straightening etc. I asked for my money back or a new vehicle. They refused. It would cost more to fix this car than it is worth. I need some assistance. I looked them up on the bbb and they have 55 reports in 36 months. Not to mention they are making a 1000% profit off of me.

Everytime there is a heavy rain the floors of my 2001 pontiac grand am gets soaked. Yesterday was by far the worst of all, there was about 3 inches of standing water on the passenger side floor. My car smells of mildew and the carpet is ruined. This seems to be a common problem for this car and I would like to see something done about this. I feel like I have wasted my money and I still have 2 years of payments remaining.
