Brakes: “Rain flooded my 2001 grand am se too. Brought to dealer and was told some plugs were loose cause of some extra rustproofing I had done. This occured on the back drivers floor. This kept happening and was told by the dealer it was my problem now because it was no longer under warranty.. Also have had problems with the brakes and am now replacing the drivers side bearings. Abs brakes pulsate and make an awful sound. I have been told that is normal. Thanks to all you complainers I now know that I am not crazy.wish I had been aware of this flooding problem sooner. Actually all of them! …”
