ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY, IGNITION SWITCH, WIRING. *MR THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED, A BATTERY WAS INSTALLED, WIRING WAS TIGHTENED, A KEY IGNITION WAS ADDED, AND THE SWITCH LIGHTS/DASH COMPONENT(PROBLEM NOT SPECIFIED). WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH, THE LIGHTS WOULD ACT ERRATIC ALONG WITH THE RPM GOING DOWN. THE RPM AND LIGHT PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR ALMOST EVERYDAY AND SOMETIME THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT DOWN. THE CONSUMER NO LONGER OPERATES THE VEHICLE AND REQUESTED EITHER A NEW VEHICLE OR A REFUND.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
BOTH FRONT SPRINGS BROKE IN MY 1999 GRAND AM FOR NO APPARENT REASON, RESULTING IN THE CAR NEEDING TOWED. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR, HAS ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD A FRONT STRUT PROBLEM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND REPLACED ONE. THIS OCCURRED AND DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT (THANKFULLY), BUT I REALIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION AND THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH OF REPORTING, AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DEVASTATING. *NLM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS 2/14/2002 AND 5/22/2003, MY GRAND AM LOCKED ITS DOORS. THE FIRST OCCASION, THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, KEYS LEFT IN THE CAR. WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR CLOSED, THE DOORS LOCKED. HAD TO HAVE AAA OPEN THE DOOR. SECOND OCCASION, MY 4 1/2 MONTH OLD BABY WAS ASLEEP IN THE BACK SEAT, THE CAR WAS RUNNING, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, UNLOCKED THE DOORS AND GOT OUT FOR A MINUTE, WHEN THE DOOR CLOSED, IT AND THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND DRIVER'S REAR DOORS LOCKED. THE ONLY ONE THAT REMAINED UNLOCKED WAS THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR. LUCKILY, ONE STAYED OPEN AND MY BABY WAS ASLEEP AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. VERY UPSET WITH GM AT THIS POINT. *NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
FUEL GAUGE, AT 1/4 TANK LEVEL OR WHEN IDLING FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AT ANY LEVEL, GAUGE WILL CHIME, QUICKLY POINT TO FULL, THEN POINT TO EMPTY, REPEAT A FEW TIMES, AND SETTLE BETWEEN THE 1/2 AND 3/4 TANK RANGE. THIS FAULT HAS LEFT ME IN A POSITION OF RESETTING MY TRIP METER AND FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY WHEN FUELING IN ORDER TO TRAVEL NO MORE THAN 300 MILES PER TANK AND RISK RUNNING OUT OF GAS DUE TO AN UNRELIABLE FUEL GAUGE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN MAY 2002.*AK

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS:FRONT
I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I SLAMMED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. THE CRASH TOTALLY PUSHED THE FRONT END OF THE CAR UP TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. NEITHER AIR BAG CAME OUT AND I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE WRECK OR WHAT CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. FIGHT FOR LIFE HAD TO FLY ME OUT AND MY JAW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I ALSO HAD NO BRUISING OR INJURIES FROM MY SEAT BELT. I DON'T BELIEVE MY SEAT BELT RESTRAINED ME EITHER. *NLM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I WAS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES AND AIR CONDITIONER. HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COME ON HERE WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE. I WAS TOLD MY BRAKES ARE THE WAY THEY ARE BECAUSE OF THE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND BECAUSE I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THERE ARE HILLS. I WAS READY TO BREAK THE DEALERS KNEE CAPS. WHO DOES HE THINK I AM. STUPID. THE GUY WHO PUT THE BRAKES ON MY CAR TOLD ME THEY MADE THEM TO SMALL FOR THESE CARS ANYWAYS. SO WHO DO I BELIEVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE GM IS RIPPING PEOPLE OFF LEFT AND RIGHT. IT S NOT RIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE GOTTEN NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AT LEAST THREE TIMES. GOT SENT ON MY WAY ONCE AND GOT ROTORS TURNED ONCE. WHAT ELSE DOES GM NEED. WHY ARE THEY STALLING. GOT MY AIR CONDITIONER FIXED ON MAY 13, 2003 FOR LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES NOW I HAVE LOST COUNT. ANYWAYS IT IS NOW MAY 22,2003 AND IT DOESN'T WORK. NOW I NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I THINK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT GM NEED TO DRIVE NOTHING BUT ALL OF OUR CARS THAT HAVE THESE BRAKE PROBLEMS AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT. PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A HUNK OF JUNK. BEWARE DON'T BUY THIS CAR AGAIN AND SOMEONE GET THERE FINGER OUT OF THERE YOU KNOW WHAT. *NLM
