2003 Pontiac Grand Am brakes problems

Filed Nov 22, 2023 · Brakes, Transmission · PA

Disc are advanced, technologically superior, and come standard with enabling more braking force with less pressure. Albeit an impermeable transmission requires no fluid changes and less maintenance, servicing one is challenging. It works well in dusty environments or in heavy–duty tasks, and an malfunctioning transmission risk ruining the entire system. Wiper motor & transmission failed last spring.

Body, Brakes, and Electrical concern me. My family owned a 1999 same model vehicle, and the brakes failed us in an accident from its’ left driver seal being punctured. Here is what’s going on with the 2003 aside from the latter mentioned. Exhaust from manifold to catalytic converter followed by muffler rusted out by 175,ØØØ miles and now broke apart. Frame and rocker panels are rusted out before 175,ØØØ miles and broke apart by rear wheels on both sides. Electrical concerns caused me to quit my job on March 11, 2022 when the wipers quit working and nearly caused an accident by Chartiers Cemetery in a thunderstorm storm two days before. Front end vibration is felt in floor boards and steering wheel when brakes are applied at high speeds, usually between 45–75 as regulated by federal government. Disc brakes gradually replaced drum brakes from between 1960—1980. That practicality is debunked on these cars they didn’t utilise disc brakes on all both axles, which is my preference anyways for being mechanically–inclined. Koor’s confirmed our exhaust leak in Carnegie Pennsylvania and wants $5ØØ+ to replace the exhaust. Tireman Auto Service in Toledo Ohio confirmed the wiper malfunction, they replaced the window regulator and wiper transmission. Vehicle has been inspected by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Goodyear, Pittsburgh Police Bureau, and State Farm Mutual Insurance. I allow you to contact them for references and any ticketing information. Assuming we can afford to be better than slumlords. Group activities are blessed to keep your peace of mind. Might as well watch from the fray from my point–of–view. Unless you would rather demand my escape other travel options, then I didn’t my own identity to be audited by your Internal Revenue Service. Vehicle is still available for inspection, and I would like your recommendation to convince the owner that your issued recall isn’t for your peace of mind. She needs your social stimulation to flourish.

The lamps on my gt grand am aren't right do to the low beams being brighter than the high beems. And water is in the lamp. And my car will not start and I called and told you all of this. And I worked on it some and moved some wires and it stared to work once again. And now down again.it will not do a thing but light up the dash. So I replaced the keystarter and it still doesn't do anything. My daughters car is also a grand am and it locked up on her too and would not start .lord forbid if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time and the fact that we are women, hopefully nothing bad would happen. She replaced the ignition which was the problem with her vehicle but it is not the case with my vehicle. I was hearing click click in the dash a lot and can not tell what it is and not sure if it is a short. And it is not fair we bought the vehicle and it seems like a death trap. Thank you for all your help. Ps the car dose not like to stop right it has new brakes on it and been updated. But still dose not wait to stop. But I came really close to hitting some one.

My daughter has a 2003 pontiac grand am gt. She had been complaining about her brakes not feeling quite right before 15,000 miles at 17,000 we had to replace the front brake pads and resurface the rotors. Weeks after the repair she began complaining about the brakes again. Since they had just been repaired I told her she had to be mistaken. Six months later she was still complaining and we took the car to our own mechanic. He told us the rear brake pads were fine but the rotors were deteriorated beyond repair. The car was still under warranty at 25000 miles ,mostly highway miles,so we expected the car to be fixed under the warranty. The dealer refused to fix it under the warranty. He claimed my daughter was an inexperienced driver and must have been hard on the brakes . He wanted to fix the car for $1000. Replacing both front and rear rotors and brake pads. The rotors were apparently rotting underneath the pads. This should not happen,the rotors are defective and should be recalled before someone gets hurt.
