“I purchased my 2000 Pontiac Grand Am used. I've had it 3 years and have had break problems for at least 2 of the 3 years. My mechanic can not find any reason why I've had so many problems and when I spoke with Pontiac headquarters they informed me that since I did not have a documented case through a car dealership there was nothing they could do. I informed them that my private mechanic kept detail records but Pontiac informed me that even if I did use a dealership the problems I'm having are part of the normal wear and tear of a vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10135859, filed 2005-09, 46,000 miles“I own a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am gt. At about 15,000 miles my blinkers starting either just comming on by theirself or would not work at all. I took it in to the dealer and they replaced the hazard switch. Then, about 6 thousand miles later, my front end started shaking and making noise. I took it to the dealer and they said my brakes were down to the rotor and I would need new brakes and rotors. I asked if it would be covered under warranty, and they said the warranty only covered the brakes until 20,000 miles and it would cost me $500 to fix the problem. …”

The rotors have been replaced twice for rusting and warping and the brakes once, under warranty. I have had water leaks, my dash has been replaced for warping, 2 door panels have been replaced for warping. I have 2 more that need to be replaced, but the dealership says it's a common problem, but it's not covered under the extended warranty . I have lots of wind noise. A rotten egg smell in my car when driving it. …”
