FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
FUEL PUMP FAILED ABRUPTLY CAUSING MOTOR TO QUIT WHILE UNDERWAY, AND SUBSEQUENTLY COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED AT 65 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC ON AN INTERSTATE. MY DAUGHTER, DRIVER AT THE TIME, HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE THROUGH TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AND OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING OR BRAKES...A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONE THAT COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED A CRASH AND SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
MY 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM HAS HAD THE FRONT ROTORS & PADS REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES - THERE'S NO POINT OF KEEPING TRACK ANYMORE. I HAVE ARGUED WITH 2 DEALERS ON MANY OCCASIONS THAT CARS JUST DON'T SHAKE LIKE THAT FROM THE BRAKES EVERY 10,000 MILES. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DRIVER ERROR AND THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE. THEY PUT THESE NEW "SHIM KITS" ON MY FRONT ROTORS SO THAT THEY DON'T WEAR DOWN -DIDN'T HELP. TRUST ME - LEMON LAW DOESN'T HELP. MY HUSBAND EVENTUALLY WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO AND BOUGHT ROTORS & PADS FOR $80.00 AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. IT'S A SHAME MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT CRAPPY BRAKES ON THE CAR FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING CONSTANTLY. KEEP THAT IN MIND BEFORE YOU GO TO THE DEALER.
