2004 Pontiac Grand AM Brakes Problems

“While driving down the interstate,after a hard rain, I came over a hill and noticed that traffic had stopped due to an accident ahead. I hit the brakes and noticed that my speed was not impeding as normal.I didn't want to collide with the vehicle ahead of me in my lane which was completely stopped about 40 yards ahead,so, I tried to go to the left. I figured that if I didn't stop in that distance I 'd stop in 5 or 10 more feet without colliding with the vehicle ahead. …”

“Ignition key caused engine to turn off while car was in motion. Power steering and power brakes were disabled. I still own the vehicle and this has been ongoing ever since I purchased the car. No crash has ever occured because there is still some minimal functionality to the brakes and steering when the key shuts off. However, my wife has driven my car and luckily hasn't had this experience. I'm afraid that she would lack the body strength necessary to handle the steering and brakes. …”

“While driving in city traffic, I depressed the clutch to change gears and the clutch was soft and would not engage. Upon inspecting the engine, there was no fluid in the reservoir for the clutch. I added fluid, but it ran right out. After taking it to a repair shop, I was informed that the master cylinder where the company that manufactured it had stamped their imprint had cracked causing the failure. The master and slave cylinder were replaced costing $$$$.”

“Driving my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am home form grocery shopping and tried to get into left hand turn only lane, but car wouldn`t slow down and I didn`t want to rear end the person ahead as there was a lot of traffic that day so I veered to the right to get into a parking lot to pull my emergency brakes, but was broad sided. I have over $2,300.00 worth of damage to my car and my mechanic said it is the ignition switch on the 2004 Pontiac Grand Am, and there should have been a full replacement of that when the recall was done regarding the ignition. …”

“I was driving this vehicle on a dry clear day. When I exited the highway and slowed down in the exit lane by tapping the brakes the car turned 90 degrees toward the inside of the circle and proceeded off the road. The car behaved like it was on a sheet of ice even though it was a warm dry day.”
