2002 Pontiac Grand Am

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW PONTIAC GRAND AM GT1 IN JULY 2002. SHORTLY AFTER, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS HARD STARTING. USUALLY THE THIRD TIME STARTED IN ONE DAY, IT WOULD SOUND LIKE IT WAS TURNING OVER BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I WOULD SHUT IT OFF AND TRY AGAIN AND IT WOULD WORK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY KEPT IT FOR 4 HOURS WHILE I WAITED. TOLD ME NOTHING WAS FOUND. IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY CAR TO START IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. WENT BACK IN, TOLD THE MECHANIC IT JUST HAPPENED. THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN AND CAME UP WITH NOTHING. NO REPAIRS DONE. THE FOG LAMPS STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK MY NEIGHBOR CALLS ME TO TELL ME MY LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE TO START THE CAR AND TOGGLE THE SWITCH UNTIL THEY GO OUT. A FEW HOURS LATER THEY ARE BACK ON AND THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. WHEN CLOSING THE WINDOWS, THERE IS A SCRATCHING SOUND. BOTH WINDOWS IN THE REAR ARE SCRATCHED. THE CAR IS CLEAN AND WAS CHECKED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO FOUND NOTHING INSIDE THE DOOR THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SCRATCHES. THERE IS ALSO A HIGH PITCHED SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY WHEN I APPLY THE BREAK BUT COMES BACK. AFTER IT RAINS, THERE IS A GURGLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR. CAN'T TELL IF ITS THE SPEAKER OR WHAT. JUST LITTLE THINGS THAT BOTHER ME CONSIDERING THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR ONLY OWNED BY ME AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THERE ARE JUST UNDER 16,000 MILES ON THE CAR. SO FAR, NO REPAIRS DONE. *NLM

I RENTED A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM ON FEB. 04, 2003. IT WAS VERY COLD, AT NIGHT, AND SNOWING HEAVILY. I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFOGGER. IT FAILED TO CLEAR THE REAR WINDOW, AND I TURNED IT ON AGAIN AFTER NOTICING THAT IT HAD TURNED OFF. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED; THERE WAS NO PROJECTILE FOUND. MY WIFE, WHO WAS WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED, AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT, AND WE SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE, YET WE ARE BEING CHARGED BY BUDGET, WHO WAS CHARGED BY THE DEALER, FOR THE REPAIR. *JB

APRIL 1, 2002, I BOUGHT A NEW CAR, A 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT BETWEEN 12 PM AND 2 PM, ABOUT 4 PM I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY ON I55 GOING NORTHBOUND, DURING THE THUNDER STORM WE HAD WITH RAIN AND SNOW AND EVEN SOME SLEET. AT THAT TIME I HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON "HI" AND PROCEEDED VERY CAUTIOUSLY ON THE ROAD, AT THAT GIVEN TIME, I HAD HEARD A SNAP AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED DEAD IN THERE TRACKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE EXPRESSWAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR, AS THE WEATHER WAS REALLY BAD. FROM THERE, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO PONTIAC TO HAVE IT SERVICED, ALONZO GREENE (SALESMAN) INFORMED ME THAT THE MECHANICS HAD GONE HOME FOR THE DAY AND TO COME BACK TOMORROW, AFTER DISPUTING WITH HIM, A $24,000 CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS, HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING HE CAN DO, THE NEXT DAY I WENT BACK TO PONTIAC TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG, TOOK THE CAR BACK HOME AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, YET THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO PONTIAC, THE MECHANICS SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH AND WHEN THEY CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS, GM STATED NOT TO REPLACE ANY PARTS ON THE CAR, UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL OR THERE IS GOING TO BE A RECALL, NO SATISFACTION FROM THE MECHCANICS OR PONTIAC, SALLY FROM THE PONTIAC CORPORATION HAD BEEN CONTACTED, SHE SPOKE WITH ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS NOT TO LEAVE THE LOT UNTIL THE WIPERS WERE FIXED, SHE WANTED TO SPEAK WITH A MECHANIC, SHE SPOKE WITH JERRY, JERRY WALKED AWAY OUT OF SIGHT WITH THE PHONE, JERRY PUT ME BACK ON THE PHONE WITH SALLY , SALLY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR, IT WAS FINE, I ASKED HER, "WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN, IF GOD FORBID I AM IN A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO WIPER FAILURE AND SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED"? AND SALLY SAID WITH AN ATTIUDE "YOU HAVE INSURANCE AND FULL COVERAGE, YOU ARE COVERED IF IT DOES". BOTTOM LINE, GM, THE SERVICE GARAGE, AND PONTIAC REFUSE TO REPAIR THE CAR OR TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR, ITS UNDER WARRANTY. NLM
