I was not satisfied with the two vehicles, and their manager, which finance the vehicle from [xxx]/cnac came out and showed me two other vehicles, and I kept asking for a SUV, but his explanation, 'it isn't in you price range, and we will do a budget after you choose a car, and out of the four choices, I chose the grand am, I test drove the car, I told them about the rubbing and a noise, and the indicated, you will have a warranty, and we will fix anything under the hood, and any thing that has to do with the brakes, tires, they are new, lights, because we refurbish all our cars, "that's why we charge what we do; everything is new on the vehicle!, but clearly this is a lie!"

2004 pontiac grand prix transmission slipping/jerking motion going from dead start or uphill/downhill. Seems very very dangerous as trying to pull out into traffic is never consistent and the jerking motion forces people behind to slam on brakes. Happens up to 3 times in a row. This is a very dangerous issue and something needs to be done about this I do not want to be driving in danger like this anymore.

I've read two other complaints (10187874 - 10154674) in regards to the no-start. I've had concerns with this for over a year. Rarely, the car will start fine. Mostly, I found that I must give acceleration at start-up for a successful start. Otherwise, the car will either not catch or it'll jerk and stall out. Other than this, the car is fine. It's annoying, but I've grown used to it since it's on an every-day level. I live in tn, so we are in relatively warm climate. It's not an issue of weather. I contacted my local pontiac retail facility and they advised me they have two other gp's with the same issue. They said it may be the fuel pump going out. I haven't taken it in yet.

I purchased a 2004 pontiac gran dprix gt2 in june of that same year. One week later the repairs began. The most scary occurring on the date mentioned on this complaint, may 26, 2005, eleven months after I purchased the vehicle. My car died while driving 65 MPH on the highway with my three small children in the back seat. The car had no power whatsoever, no steering, no gas, no lights, nothing. I thank god we are alive. The mechanics at the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition switch. After this incident I rented a car at my own expense for eight weeks. We did not step foot in the vehicle for that period of time. For financial reasons I slowly began driving my car again. There were repairs before that event as well as afterwards. These include the brain, transmission, brakes, axle, wheel bearings, steering, sunroof, fuel injectors, and safety belts.

My 2004 grand prix gt has had an acceleration hesitation or stall (engine shuts down) since purchase (august /04). Two different sensors have been replaced, but it has failed again. Recently when leaving work; engine relatively cold, had to accelerate to enter highway traffic and engine stalled and died. Dealerships have been unable to duplicate since it is extremely intermittent.
