Consumer Description

TURN SIGNAL FAILURE (RECALL BY MANUFACTURE CORRECTED THAT PROBLEM). HOWEVER, DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE CONTINUOS PROBLEM WITH THE ON-GOING TICKING SOUND OF THE TURN SIGNAL EVEN WHEN SIGNAL IS NOT IN USE. THAT WOULD COST $273 TO FIX, DEALER SAID. GRINDING SOUND IN TIRES (DEALER GAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THE FACT THAT THE 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM'S WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A FAULTY TIRES AND RIM PACKAGE. SUGGESTED NEW RIMS OR DIFFERENT THAN MANUFACTURE CHOICE TIRES. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IS WITH THE ENGINE. RANDOMLY UPON IGNITION AND SOMETIMES AFTER SITTING IDLE, THE ENGINE WILL REV HIGH (AT TIMES UPTO 3RPMS). SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO EXPLODE! WENT TO 2 PONTIAC DEALERS VARIOUS TIMES (AT LEAST 6) AND NEITHER CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME I WAS CHARGED WITH ASSESSMENT FEES. I'M DONE WITH PONTIAC VEHICLES!*AK
