I have a 2001 grand am with less than 40,000 and am having promblems with parts that shouldn't be a problem this soon. Upon talking to other grand am owners they are or had the same problems. The security system is messing up and I have already had to replace the fuel pump and fuel sensor at my expense.

I have a 2001 grand am gt and it has problems starting sometimes. It has had a fuel pump,solonoids, and a new starter put in it within the past 2 weeks and nothing seems to be fixing the problem and I've only had the car for 2 months!!
I have only had the car for about 4 months, but recently, the turn signals have stopped working almost causing several accidents. I have noticed that if you try setting the emergency flashers on it will sometimes make the turn signals work, but not very often. I feel this is unsafe and I don't want to cause any accidents.
I have had many problems with my 2001 grand am. Like others many turn signals failed, I have had water leaks, the dome light fell out of its casing and was dangling by its wires. In may of 2003 the computer and its wiring were replaced (at only 31000) after an incident of very ruff shifting. A separate consistant problem that remains unsolved is the car's occasional episodes of not wanting to start. During these episodes it sounds as if the starter will crack, but it just will not start. The only way to get it started at these times is to tap the gas pedal! It has been taken to two dealerships for this problem. They have replaced a fuel intake valve and put new programming in the computer. Nothing they ever do solves this problem and usually they tell me that they can not recreate the problem and therefore can not fix it. Even after having a new computer the problem still occurs.
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.

Vehicle has stalled numerous times at any speed. Dealer has replaced ignition switch three times, but has not remedied the problem.
When it rains floorboard gets flooded, causing a short in fog lights. Problem occurred 4 times. Dealership resealed windshield , plugged sunroof, but problem still occurred.
The starter will crank but it will not start it takes 2 to 3 times to get the car started. The fuel pump has already been reaplced.
This auto was parked for 6 hours, prior had filled fuel tank , awaoke at 1:30 am seeing this auto parked next to my 1979 ford ranchero which had not been moved in over 12 hours afire. Fire was at right rear of pontiac setting next to left front of 1979 ford ranchero. Understand national tv station ran a story about the 2001 grand am catching fire after being parked ?
