2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE EQUIPMENT. *MR THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CONSUMER BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN DRIVE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD HANG UP. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON. THERE WAS AN OCCASION WHEN THE CONSUMER COULD NOT GET THE TRACTION CONTROL TO RE-ENGAGE. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND NOTHING. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS WHICH WAS STATED TO BE BEYOND SPECIFICATIONS. THREE LOUD BANGS HAD COME FROM THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND OIL LEAKS. *SC
MY WHEEL BROKE OFF WHILE DRIVING, HAD NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES, NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT LET GO, WAS TOLD COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEN AFTER THE CAR WAS FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE DEALERSHIP SAID I HAD TO PAY, AS THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. COMPANY SIDED WITH DEALERSHIP AND SAID WOULD HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE COMPANY MEET WITH ME AND LOOK INTO THE MATTER BUT HAS NOT. I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE NOV02.
ISSUE CONCERNS TSB 02-03-10-003. THE VEHICLE IS 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT WITH ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS AND 16 INCH EAGLE RSA TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAS 41,000 MILES AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. PRIOR TO OCT. 3 2003 - A SCRUNCHING AND GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WHEEL BEARING OR BRAKE ASSEMBLY WENT BAD. DECIDED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS BAD ENOUGH TO TAKE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT CAUSE WAS COMBINATION OF THE STOCK ALUMINUM WHEEL AND THE STOCK GOODYEAR RSA TIRE DESCRIBED IN TSB 02-03-10-003 AND THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITHOUT REPLACING THE TIRES. THE DECISION WAS IF I WANTED THE PROBLEM FIXED, I HAVE TO PAY FOR 4 NEW TIRES. I BROUGHT 3 ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER: 1. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ANY OTHER MECHANICAL FAILURES OF A SIMILAR SOUND...
