ON 01/19/2018 I PURCHASED 03,GRAND AM GT.THE SAME DAY THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.IT WAS TOWED TO MY HOME THEN BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT I WAS ADVISED THAT IT NEEDED COIL PACK , ALTERNATOR,.THESE REPAIRS WHERE MADE BY ME OUT OF POCKET.ON 03/09/18THE CAR OVER HEATED AND AGAIN HAD TO BE TOWED HOME THEN TO A SHOP WHERE I PAID TO HAVE A WATER PUMP PUT ON AGAIN OUT OF POCKET.AFTER HAVING THESE PARTS PUT ON THE CAR WOULD NOT START.I WAS INFORMED THAT IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP.I THEN PAID OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A FUEL PUMP PUT ON.IT STILL WOULD NOT START.ON 03/20/18 I CONTACTED GM AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS INFACT A RECALL ABOUT ALL OF THE ISSUE'S I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR.I WAS GIVEN AN APT FOR 03/22/18 TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE GM DEALERSHIP.UPON MY ARRIVAL I WAS ADVISED THAT THESE RECALLS HAD BEEN PREFORM ED ON (11/1/02 (JCN 25863)AND AGAIN ON 12/3/14 (025777) .I WAS THE ADVISED THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED 111.00 DOLLARS JUST FOR DIAGNOSIS. WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY FAILED TO INFORM ME OF ANY OF THIS INFORMATION.I FOUND IT TO BE A WASTE OF MY TIME AS WELL AS THE GM DEALERSHIP.HAD THEY INFORMED ME OF A FEE I WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON THAT DAY AS I DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE WHAT NEEDED DONE. I WAS GIVEN A TICKET NUMBER(8-4018839531) AND ADVISED THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT.

MY CAR HAVES A SECURITY SENSOR, THAT PREVENTS THE CAR NOT TO START UP,I HAVE TO PUT THE IGNITION KEY TO THE ACC AND THEN THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL BLINK FOR 15 TO 20 MINUTES , AFTER THAT THE BLINKING WILL RESET IT SELF I THEN TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN TURN THE KEY TO THE ON OR RUN AND THE ENGINE WOULD START UP.IS THERE A WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ! THIS IS GOING ON EVERY OTHER DAY. I WILL PUT THE KEY IN AND THE CAR WILL NOT START

I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY LIGHT THAT STOPS FUEL FROM GETTING TO THE INJECTORS. HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE PASSWORD BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO IT. WE HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSE POWER AND NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN LATE OR MISSED APPOINTMENTS AND WE ARE AFRAID TO GET INTO THE CAR BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN OR WHERE IT WILL FAIL US. TURNS CAUSE IT TO LOSE POWER.
