Vehicle began running poorly with decreased gas mileage, sat in vehicle while idling and noticed rough idle. Shut off and restarted 10 minutes later the vehicle backfired and would no longer idle at all. Same problem the following morning, needed a mechanic immediately. Replaced fuel pressure regulator, vacuum line and oil change. (gas in oil) *tr

Leak in both upper and lower intake manifold gaskets. Had to have it repaired twice and now vehicle still isn't running correctly.....Cost of $600.00 plus many headaches.

Leaks water on the drivers side area, drivers side electric window does not roll up without help, electric door locks do not work on passenger side, overheats, i'm told it was the head gasket or intake gasket which i am also told is very common for these cars around 50k miles.

(1) the first day that i noticed something was wrong was when the dash lights were hesitating. When i first turned the car on and put the headlights on when it was dark. (2) next the hesitation became a longer period of time and the mileage burned out, and i was in fear of driving my car at night, because of my lights burning out. If it did burn out at night i could have caused an accident, for the failure of someone not being able to see me coming. (3) i made an appointment. To have the car fixed at the pontiac dealer on july 13, 2004 and i drove it to its apt. At 7:30 a.M. They say it will take 3 to 4 days to fix due to the part having be sent out to be fixed. They also said it will be an expensive job. I do not have an extended warranty, because the dealership [valley chevrolet in wilkes barre, pa] refused to incorporate an extended warranty into my loan on the car, so therefore i could not afford an additional $1,500 for the warranty. So now i am stuck having to fix a part on the car that should not have happened in the first place, partly because the car is only three years old. *la

Have a 01 grand am gt with the turn signal clicking noise that is coming from the dash. When i hit a bump on the road or touch my turning signal lever it will start clicking. However, it will make this morse code clicking noise that is saying gm will not pay for this problem, hand over 300 dollars. I know this to be true because the service manager at my local pontiac dealer said so. He also stated that they do a ton of these repairs, especially 01 to 04 pontiac grand am's. *tr

Anti-theft keeps going off. There is broken wire in our ignition.
