Consumer Description

MY WIFE PURCHASED A 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM IN 1999. FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING SOUNDS WHEN WE TURN THE WHEEL, BRAKE LIGHTS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY, FUSES ON BACK LIGHTS ARE SHORTED OUT WITH SIGNS OF MELTED METAL, WATER GETS INTO THE TRUNK AND COLLECTS. WE HAVE SPOKE TO THE DEALER AS WELL AS SEVERAL MECHANICS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND WE ARE TOLD THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT BY GOING IN ON ANY SEARCH ENGINE AND TYPING IN "1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM PROBLEMS", THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE MANUFACTURER DENIES ANY PROBLEMS.*AK
