After long or heavy periods of rain, standing water on floor behind drivers seat. Problem is on passenger side as well. Have taken back to dealer several times. Door rubber/seal has been replaced and door alignment has been done. Problem persists. Dealer claims it is not a known defect. Dealer will not assume responsibility beyond standard warranty on repairs completed. Also states that mildew and/or rust will not be a problem since the car was treated at the manufacturer against rust and mildew. The service manager of the dealer has requested that I leave my car with them a few days to allow more time for them to review the situation. Plan to contact manufacturer.

2001 pontiac grand am has problems cranking. Ignition turns over but engine will not crank until 3-4 tries. Does not do it on a consistent basis and dealership has not been able to duplicate problem. It has been in 4 times for this problem and 4 times because the back doors will not open some times without bumping the doors with your hip. Dealership was not able to duplicate problem. Also, rearview mirror fell off, side mirrors had to be replaced because clear coat was left off, door reflector fell off, weather strip on window fell off, blinkers stopped working. Despite the fact that this car is well taken care of, it is coming apart at the seams. Pontiac rep has been contacted answer is the same, we have to duplicate problem. It has now began stalling out after you get it cranked. I am now contacting gm/bbb as a last resort. Please help me if you can.
While traveling about 65mph on highway applied brakes and pedal went all the way to the floor. Then, vehicle started smokimg from underneath.
The car was purchased new (10 miles on it) in sept. Of 2001. We have had repeated problems with the car pulling to the right (usually every 30-45 days. The car was taken to the dealership several times, said no problem was found. We realized something was wrong with the vehicle, took the car to other professionals, and notified the manufacturer. Manufacturer requested inspection by the original dealership (?0 nothing found wrong. We requested another inspection which was done by another dealership. Found the sub-frame was defective from the factory. Said this would cause the steering to be off. My concerns is that a defected sub-frame may be the cause of the many complaints by the consumers for this car. A decision has not been made by the manufacturer as to how to handle this as of 7/18/02. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****764384
