NHTSA Complaint #725910 — 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM

FRONT END OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED. THE CAR PULLS DRAMATICLY TO THE LEST WHEN YOU TRY AND PASS ANOTHER CAR. BOTH MANUFACTOR AND DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL "NORMAL TORQUE STEER". THIS ACTION CAUSES THE CAR TO EITHER INTO THE FAR LEFT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD OR ALOMOST BECOME UNCONTROLABLE IF THERE IS SNOW ON THE ROAD. THE BRAKES STARTED SHAKING WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, DEALER REPLACED ROTOR ASSMB. AND OILED CALIBERS. BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. I HAVE CONTINUED TO TRY AND HAVE THE FRONT END FIXED. DEALER REPLACED TIRES (CLAIMS THEY WERE OUT OF ROUND), DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, DEALER REPLACED WHEELS (CLAIMS THEY WERE MILLED WRONG) DID NOT FIX THE PROBELM. MANUFACTURE STATES AFTER CALL, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. THIS CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE SHOP FOR THESE RELATED REPAIRS 13 TIMES SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I FEEL THAT PONTIAC WILL NOT DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL THERE IS A MAJOR LAW SUIT AGAINST THEM.*AK
