2005 Pontiac Grand Am

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE CONTACT SMELLS GASOLINE. THE ODOR GOES AWAY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07E021000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HE FEELS THAT PONTIAC SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR DUE TO THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY HUSBAND HAS A 2005 CHEVY TRUCK WITH 30000 MILES. I OWN A 2005 PONTIAC GRAND AM, BOTH WITH 45000 MILES, BOTH DRIVEN FOR PLEASURE. I JUST REPLACED FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. MY ABS AND NO TRAC LIGHT IS ON. I WAS TOLD MY HUB WAS BAD. MY HUSBAND JUST REPLACED A HUB ON HIS TRUCK AS WELL, NO WARRANTY! I WAS TOLD BY AUTO ZONE AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK ON MY CAR THAT GM HAS A BAD HUB AND KNOWS IT. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE MINE AT THIS TIME SO I HAVE TO PARK THE CAR. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2005 PONTIAC GRAND AM ( PRESSURE REGULATOR) I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PART UNTIL THE COMPANY THAT FIX IT TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A RECALL PART. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOUT IT. WHEN I START CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT REIMBURSING ME I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. FROM WHAT I GATHER YOU'LL REGULATES THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEFECT PART COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. IT'S NOT FAIR TO ME THAT THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP HAS GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND . I DON;T KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME. I'M ONLY ASKING THEM TO REIMBURSE ME OF $223.65. *TR

FOR THE LAST YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF THE ANTI THEFT DEVICE ON MY 2005 GRAND AM HAS GONE BERSERK. IT RANDOMLY PREVENTS ME FROM STARTING MY CAR. I HAVE TO LEAVE 10 MINUTES EARLY FOR EVERYTHING SO I AM NOT LATE BECAUSE IT TAKES 10 MINUTES TO RE-SET THE DEVICE. IT IS SHAMEFUL PONTIAC WON'T RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AS MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING IT. I SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD THE 200 + DOLLARS AN HOUR TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX IT. THE PROBLEM IS IF YOU ATTEMPT TO FIX IT YOURSELF (I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE) YOU COULD END UP SETTING THE ANTI-THEFT/PASSLOCK DEVICE OFF AND NEVER GET IT TO RE-SET. AS IT IS, I KNOW I CAN RE-SET IT IN 10 MINUTES (THOUGH BY THEN I'M OFTEN HOT AND SWEATY AND GRUMPY WITH MELTED ICE CREAM). HELP! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TELL MY MECHANIC HOW TO FIX IT; THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN. *TR

NOTHING HAPPENED TO CASE THIS AT ALL. NOTHING CHANGE OR INSTALLED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN....IT JUST HAPPENED. NO WRECKS OR FIRE OR PROPERLY DAMAGE. A FEW MONTHS AGO MY 2005 GRAND AM SE STARTING MAKING THE RANDOM TURN SIGNAL NOISE, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO CONSTANTLY OTHER TIMES IT'LL ONLY DO IT TWICE THEN STOP....THEN START AGAIN. WHEN YOUR OUT DRIVING AROUND CONSTANTLY HEARING CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK, IT GETS ANNOYING. IS THIS THE PROBLEM THAT WILL COST ~$300 TO FIX I'M TOLD TO REPLACE THE MULTISWITCH WHICH HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR ALOT OF THE PREVIOUS GRAND AM YEAR CARS AND WERE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP? HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS. *TR

MY GRAND AM HAS A DEFECTIVE TURN SIGNAL, JUST AS THE 00-01 MODELS DID. THE TURN SIGNAL HAS MALFUNCTIONED THAT LEAD TO FLICKERING OR TOTAL FAILURE OF THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS AND THE INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT IS CONSTANTLY FLICKERING, IT WILL NOT STOP, I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY STEERING WHEEL IS SMOKING BECAUSE OF THIS MY AIRBAG COULD EXPLODE IN MY FACE, WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY A FIRESTONE TECHNICIAN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
