2002 Pontiac Grand AM Fuel system Problems

“I was diving down hwy 70 going to pick up my first delivery for the day when, I'm not sure how but the key came out of the on postion and fell out on floor, scared I was going to crash I hurriedly reached down and put it back in and noticed the security light had came on and within minutes it lost all power and shut off, luckily I am a good driver and didn't crash but manage to get off road safely. I'm so glad worse didn't happen. Now I have no car and probably lost all 3 jobs I had.”

“This vehicle, along with many others according to what I have seen online, many others are affected by the same issue, the same model, just varying in years. The car will not start. The ignition switch fails to start the car whatsoever. And due to no problem being reported by general motors, mechanics have little idea of what the problem is. Causing a massive waste of money, this issue has plagued our car for over a year. And due to no issue being reported by general motors, multiple mechanics have said it is the fuel pump. …”

“I bought my Pontiac a year ago. A few weeks after buying it, it had trouble starting. It only happened a couple of times, but it would always eventually start. However, last week it took us almost two hours to get it started. After that it seems to lose power going up a hill or even when at a stop. My brother-in-law has replaced the fuel pump and sensor and it still is doing the same thing. It is so frustrating that so many people are having the exact problem but nothing is being done about it. It shows what kind of a dealer GM really is! …”

“While driving at 45 MPH on a back road my car shut off and at that point I also lost power steering so I had to get out and push the car off the road by myself. Had it towed; first mechanic said it was the security system and a dealer would have to look at it. So I had it towed 42 miles to a dealership and they told me the fuel pump had burned up, but this is clearly a safety hazard as the car just shut off in the middle of the road, not to mention on an extremely bad corner that I could hardly maneuver due to the lack of power steering. …”

“Since we purchased our Pontiac Grand Am in april 2002 we have had several items fail that I feel should not have. The fuel pump and fuel relay? Failed at 6,000 miles, the window sash channels and relays have failed 3 times. Twice on the driver side and 1 time on the passenger side. The dash is peeling up at the base of the windshield close to the VIN# plate. The dome light bracket failed and the light no longer is on the interior roof. Cheap plastic bracket that will cost several hundred dollars to fix. The driver power seat has failed leaving the seat in the up position. …”
