2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM Electrical System Problems

.

Engine has lost power from 150hp @ 3K RPM and 200ft·lb @ 4K RPM. It is now 50hp @ ½K RPM & 75ft·lb @ 2K revolutions per minute. Gear Shift Button has seperated from globe. Radio needs to be replaced or reset daily. Rear window defroster has seperated from window, and won’t retain position. Tire Pressure Monitoring System hasn’t worked to no avail. Turn signals are showing discrepancies when activated from switch.

Ecotec Gen I was re–engineered to be smoother and more efficient than its predecessor. Featuring an dual in–block balance shafts, power–steering pump, water–pump housing, and removable oil filter housing. This engine replaced the Quad–4 and GM 122 in North America and first appeared. GM offers an official kit which can be converted into 2.2 supercharged versions using modified ECM software. Model L42 is an CNG version of the Ecotec 2.2, producing 129 hp and 129 ft⋅lb. This LSJ was listed as one of Ward's 10 Best Engines in 2006! Sealed transmissions elude fluid access to function like regular transmission systems without requiring fluid changes for maintenance. A sealed transmission has fill and inspection plugs, with the inspection plug removing excess fluid and the fill plug adding fluid. Nobody told me during my tenure in ‘shop class!’ Knorr’s Automotive wants $55Ø to fix an exhaust leak, which is their disastrous mishandling....

Korr’s Automotive wants $55Ø to repair our exhaust leak. Fuel lines are too close to engine, which can cause death or injury upon impact. You’re welcome for [XXXXXX] upon request! Driver seat is out of commission on power. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Body, Brakes, and Electrical concern me. My family owned a 1999 same model vehicle, and the brakes failed us in an accident from its’ left driver seal being punctured. Here is what’s going on with the 2003 aside from the latter mentioned. Exhaust from manifold to catalytic converter followed by muffler rusted out by 175,ØØØ miles and now broke apart. Frame and rocker panels are rusted out before 175,ØØØ miles and broke apart by rear wheels on both sides. Electrical concerns caused me to quit my job on March 11, 2022 when the wipers quit working and nearly caused an accident by Chartiers Cemetery in a thunderstorm storm two days before. Front end vibration is felt in floor boards and steering wheel when brakes are applied at high speeds, usually between 45–75 as regulated by federal government. Disc brakes gradually replaced drum brakes from between 1960—1980. That practicality is debunked...

NORMALLY THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM KICKS ON AND THE SECURITY LIGHT BLINKS AND YOU HAVE TO PUT THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR TEN MIN. AND WAIT FOR THE SECURITY SYSTEM TO RESET. IT WAS -7 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I THOUGHT I WAITED EXACTLY TEN MIN. BUT MAYBE IT WAS TOO EARLY. IF YOU DON'T WAIT TEN MIN. EXACTLY THEN YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE PROCEDURE ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAD MY INFANT IN THE CAR, WHICH MADE THINGS WORST. I GOT STRANDED AT THE GROCERY STORE RIGHT WHEN THEY CLOSED SO ME AND MY SON HAD TO WAIT 20 MIN. FOR THE SECURITY LIGHT TO RESET. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR ALL GRAND AMS RANGING FROM 1998 TO 2003 ITS CALLED A PASSLOCK SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PPL.

2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM UNINTENDED IGNITION KEY ROTATION. *MW THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. *JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN MY CAR FOR THE LAST 1-1/2 YEARS. WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR THE DASH LIGHTS/HEADLIGHTS/RADIO/WINDOWS AND HEATER/AC USUALLY WON'T WORK RIGHT AWAY. WHILE I AM DRIVING, THEY WILL POP ON OR OFF DEPENDING ON THE BUMPS ON THE ROAD. SIX MONTHS AGO, THE "SECURITY" LIGHT ON MY DASH STARTED TO GIVE ME TROUBLE. APPARENTLY, THE CAR SOMETIMES THINKS THAT I AM NOT USING THE CORRECT IGNITION KEY AND WON'T START. I NOW HAVE TO BUDGET AN EXTRA 10 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE TIME EVERYWHERE I GO ON THE CHANCE THAT THE CAR'S SECURITY SYSTEM NEEDS TO RESET ITSELF (I HAD TO FIND THE "FIX" TO THIS ISSUE ON YOUTUBE.COM WHICH ANOTHER GM CAR OWNER POSTED, SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING REMOTELY HELPFUL ABOUT IT IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL). I WENT TO A DEALER TO GET THE INSERT TO MY KEYS...

I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR SEPTEMBER 2013. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IN JULY 2014. MY CAR WOULDNT START WITH THE FIRST TURN. BUT I WOULD TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTS. SO ONE DAY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. NEVER STARTED BACK UP. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FUEL REGULATOR AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WHICH HE CHANGED . I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM OF NOT STARTING ON THE FIRST TRY. I FOUND OUT I HAD A RECALL ON THE IGNITIONS SWITCH WHICH WAS FINALLY CHANGED. I RECEIVED A LETTER AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. BUT THE RECALL SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH AND THEY ONLY FIXED THE KEY RING. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD CHANGE THE IGNITION SWITCH. NOW MY CAR STILL DOE THE SAME AND MECHANICS ARE STATING THEY CAN NOT LOCATE THE ISSUE. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT WILL STALL...

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND AFTER MY LEASE ENDED, I PURCHASED IT. AS OF A FEW YEARS AGO, I SIGNED IT OVER TO MY DAUGHTER. AS SHE WAS DRIVING IT, ALL DASH INSTRUMENTS WENT OUT, THEN ON, THEN OFF. SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T COME ON AT ALL. EVENTUALLY WE DISCOVERED BY BUMPING THE DASH, EVERYTHING WOULD COME ON.AS THIS BECAME A REAL ISSUE, I CALLED AROUND AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS BAD, SO I PURCHASED A NEW ONE. INSTALLED IT, AND FOUND OUT IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I SENT IT IN FOR REPAIR, GOT IT BACK, RE-INSTALLED IT ONLY TO SEE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THEN PURCHASED A USED ONE,,,,,SAME THING. FINALLY DECIDED THAT IT MIGHT BE THE IGNITION SWITCH. REPLACED IT AND PROBLEM SOLVED. I OPENED UP THE OLD SWITCH AND FOUND IT WAS ALL SHORTED AND CORRODED. MY ISSUE IS THAT OCT....

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WILL NOT START, AND THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND 170 DOLLARS LATTER I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT COMES IN TWO PARTS AND NO ONE KNOW WHICH PART IT NEEDS. I'VE SEEN TWO OTHER MECHANICS SINCE, SAME STORY. THIS MONTH FINALLY, THE PONTIAC GRAND AM WAS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST FOR THE IGNITION PROBLEM,,,,MY MODEL AND YEAR. NO ONE CAN TELL ME YET IF MY CAR IS OR IS NOT ONE OF THE CARS BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE RECALL...THIS RECALL IS ON THE PONTIAC GRAND AM 1999- 2005....MINE IS A 2003. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT IF THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. WITH NO WARNING, THE ENGINE STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COULD COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED FOR HELP ON THE ROADSIDE AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND KNOCKED ON THE GAS TANK. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. IT STARTED FINE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO NOT STARTED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A MONTH. *TR

PARKED CAR TO SHOP. UPON RETURNING, CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD TOWED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFETY SWITCH FOR IGNITION. DURING THIS TIME A CLICKING SOUND WOULD EMIT PERIODICALLY FROM THE IGNITION OR TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLIES. HAD IGNITION ASSEMBLY REPLACED. WORKED FOR A WHILE AND THEN DECEMBER OF 2013, CLICKING SOUND REAPPEARED AND HASN'T STOPPED. *TR

THE DASH IS PEELING AND ROLLING UP IT HAS BROKE ALL THE VENTS AND HAS PUSHED THE TRIM AROUND THE SPEEDOMETER/ RIM ET DOWN AND OFF. MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND IT IS A CONCERN FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT IS STARTING TO PUSH UP THE COVER. STARTING TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO IT PUSHING PRESSURE ON THE FUSE BOXES. I ALSO HAVE IT PUSHING ON THE DOOR ALLOWING WATER TO RUN INTO MY CAR AT THE FUSE BOX SPEAKER AND INTO MY FLOOR. I SEE THIS PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE DASH. THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY GMC BEFORE A FAILURE TO ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

FAST CLICKING SOUND AROUND STEERING COLUMN (SOUNDS LIKE THE BLINKER IS GOING BUT IT IS NOT). *TR

CAR WILL NOT START, SECURITY LIGHT BLINKING ON DASH. CAR "THINKS" IT'S BEING STOLEN AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO START. I'M BEING TOLD IT'S RELATED TO THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. *TR

IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING INCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE CAR DOES NOT START CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE HAD TO PICK MY DAUGHTER UP AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. I HAVE HAD TO LEAVE WORK BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET HER CAR STARTED. THE CAR HAS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF IN INTERSECTIONS, AND AT HIGH SPEEDS. WE ARE USING MY CAR BECAUSE HER CAR IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO GET FIXED. I CHECKED IF IT WAS ON THE LIST OF RECALLS. IT IS NOT, BUT I DO FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS. PLEASE COMPENSATE ME OR DIRECT ME WHERE TO GET COMPENSATED FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT WILL TAKE TO REPLACE THE KEY AND IGNITION MODULE. THAT IS WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME HAD TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY OR STREET THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING . THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY DIED CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. MUST TRY TO MERGE OFF AND OUT OF TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY.
