THIS PROBLEM IS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I HAVE TAKEN MY PONTIAC GRAND AM 2004 TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS WITH NOT LUCK..ONE DAY DRIVING TO WORK EARLY MORNING MY CAR SITTING FOR 8HRS DIDN'T WANT TO CRANK OR START...BATTERY WAS DEAD SO I REPLACE IT...MY CAR START BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MIN WHILE DRIVING ENGINE SHUT OFF. MECHANICS HAVE CHECK AND CHANGED FUEL PUMP AND FILTER,WATER PUMP ,CRANK SHAFT SENSOR , TEMPERATURE SENSOR,SENSOR BEHIND ALTERNATOR,FUEL PRESSURE CHECK AND REGULATOR IS NEW,THERMOSTAT CHANGE.I HAVE SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLAR BETWEEN PARTS AND LABOR.I WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT THE QUALITY OF AMERICAN CARS IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING ONE.IF THERE IS ANY FIX KNOWN IN THIS SITE I NEED TO KNOW , I HAVE A FAMILY AND DON'T WANT TO LOOSE IT IN A HIGHWAY IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO START THE IGNITION. IT TOOK TEN MINUTES FOR THE VEHICLE TO FINALLY START UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TWICE, ON THE SECOND VISIT THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED . THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL STALLED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,600. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,700.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE DRIVER STATED THAT SHE DROVE TO WORK IN HER VEHICLE AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN SHE TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE LATER THAT EVENING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DRIVER ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DRIVER STATED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AT THE END OF JANUARY AND SHE IS NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT SHE CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 78,000.

WAS DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN ROAD ON WAY TO WORK. APPROACHED INTERSECTION AND DEPRESSED CLUTCH TO DOWN SHIFT AND APPLY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. HOWEVER WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO REV UP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, UNTIL IT REACHED THE RED LINE. AFTER PUMPING ACCELERATOR ABOUT FIVE OR SIX TIMES VEHICLE STOPPED REVVING UP. HOWEVER SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO REV UP AGAIN WHEN CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, VEHICLE HAS BEEN SEEN BY GM DEALERSHIPS AND GM REP BUT THEY CLAIM ISSUE CANNOT BE REPLICATED. MULTIPLE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT ISSUE CONTINUES. WILL A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH BE REQUIRED FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED? I REALIZE THAT THIS IS PROBABLY NOT STICKING OUT AS A MAJOR ISSUE BECAUSE OF LOW NUMBERS OF REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT SINCE THIS IS PROBABLY ISOLATED TO MODELS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A VERY SMALL MINORITY OF VEHICLES. IF THOUGHT ABOUT IN THE FACT THAT THEIR ARE FEW VEHICLES CONFIGURED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE FACT OF THE NUMBER OF REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE MAKES IT MORE SIGNIFICANT SINCE IT WOULD EQUAL A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF VEHICLES WHEN COMPARED TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES CONFIGURED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. *TR

HI..MY NAME IS [XXX] ..I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT 2004 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT LAST APRIL 7TH OF 2006 AT KELLEY'S NORTHSIDE CHEVROLET IN EVANSVILLE INDIANA WITH LOW MILEAGE 30,427. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE RADIATOR HAD THE PROBLEM. TIL NOW LAST MONTH IT APPEARED THAT THE RADIATOR GOT WORSE AND CAN'T DRIVE IN BAD CONDITION. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE RADIATOR. THEY SAID THAT I NEED NEW RADIATOR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I HAD BAD RADIATOR BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE THAT MUCH IN 1 YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT.RIGHT NOW THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 48,400.. IMPOSSIBLE. SO THAT WHY I WANT TO FILE COMPLAINT REPORT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE..IT MIGHT BE FROM MANUFACTURE ..OTHER REASON IS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR NEW RADIATOR WHICH I THINK I SHOULDN'T PAY FOR THIS..ALSO I HAD WARRANTY BUT WILL NOT COVER THE RADIATOR JUST FOR THE PARTS..IF YOU REPLY ME BACK SOON AS POSSIBLE.THAT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU CAN EMAIL ME OR CALL ME THUR TTY..I AM DEAF. I SURE HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME IN ANY WAY YOU CAN..HERE IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [XXX] MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX] AND PLEASE USE RELAY 711 FIRST THEN GIVE MY PHONE NUMBER..THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GRAND AM. I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP USED WITH APPROX. 36,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR ONLY 4 MONTHS AND HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE IGNITION SENSOR, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR AS WELL. NOW THE CAR RANDOMLY LOSES ALL POWER WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS ANNOYANCE IS ACCOMPANIED WITH THE CAR ALSO NOT EVEN TURNING OVER ON SOME OCCASIONS. THE CAR CANNOT BE COUNTED ON. I'M TAKING IT IN FOR TESTING. *JB
