Consumer Description

MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM ALSO HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH CYCLINDER. I HAD IT REPLACE JULY 2003 AND JUST YESTERDAY 5/12/05. BOTH TIMES MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WENT TO CHURCH ON MOTHERS DAY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. WENT HOME AND WAS IN THE HOUSE FOR 15 MINUTES AND WENT TO LEAVE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP. I TO WENT OUT AND BROUGHT A NEW CAR BATTERY AND CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. I HAVE SPENT MONEY TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND PAYING FOR THE SAME PROMBLEM WITHIN 2 YEARS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED IN 2002 AND I BROUGHT THE CAR IN 2001, THAT WAS WITHIN MY FIRST YEAR OF HAVING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ ALL THE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND I COUNTED 20 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE IGNITION. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
