“Alternator replace two times within a year and a half.

“My extended waranty put a used engine in after the original blew up. The engine they sent had to be sent back because it was also no good . It had 18,000 on it when it was sent to replace. Now they are sending another engine . It is now a month later then when I took it to the shop and it is still not fixed. I think someone owes me something.”

“A few days after buying 96 Grand Am. I noticed the brakes didnt work effectively. When coming to a stop the car would jerk several times and continue to jump forward. This has happened more times than I care to count. Each time a near collision. I dont drive at all when it rains it wont stop at all. I've had breaks checked at least three times at different locations. No one can find a problem.”

“My most recent problem included transmission failure, and according to the mechanic this had been happening for a very long time. The fourth gear of the transmission and the clutch were burned out. I've also had to replace a water pump on the vehicle. Immediately after purchase, I noticed anti-freeze leaking from the vehicle and the vehicle would just die while driving along. I attempted to get the dealer to repair the vehicle and did get his verbal agreement however, he lied and wouldn't follow through. …”

“I was doing 30 MPH on the expressway during rush hour. The car in front of me slammed on his brakes, as I slammed on my brakes I realized I was not stopping. I swearved to the left land and hit the median wall that divides north and south bound traffic. My air bag did not inflate, I hit the wall directly on the left highlight and my brakes failed. This is the second time in the past year my brakes have failed. Whenever they are looked at afterwards, nothing is found. I would like to know if there is something I can do about the brakes and the air bag. Thank your.”
