I purchased my 2005 Pontiac grand am se used in may of 2008 with only 23,000 miles on it. The first issue began only about 2-3 months after the purchase. First the key would get stuck...a few weeks later, that was no longer a problem. Then the car had trouble starting. Very random, sometimes it would start after a few tries, sometimes it would start after 30 minutes. Then it got worse. The car would shut off as I was driving...no warning at all...just turned off as if I turned the key off. This also is extremely random..mechanics have checked my fuel pump pressure, cleaned the lines twice...I was told the pressure was right to specifications. It has been 3 years that I have the car..could not afford to take it to a gm dealer. I checked and cleaned the fuses related to the ignition..after

The car always had starting problems I replaced the ignition sensor, and the starter. Sometimes it take 3 or 4 times to start the car. *tr

Pontiac grand am 2005, I bought this car in june 2006. Since june I have had nothing but problems. I had to have the window lock panel on the drivers side reattached, because it fell out. The engine stalls and won't start half the time. Driver side window will not roll down. Rear passenger side window leaks air constantly, and water when it rains. Brakes don't always stop and make a grinding noise. Also sometime accelerates when hitting brake. Engine makes a squeaking noise when driving it. Cruise control only works every now and then, and I have already had to change the tires. This car only has under 36,000 miles on it and all the problems are occurring. I gave almost $18,000 for this car (which was way to much anyways, but they reassured me that it was a good car, and I would

2005 Pontiac grand am. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle not starting and shutting down. *tgw a local repair shop, replaced the crank sensor and ignition switch. A year later, the vehicle was towed to the repair shop, where the ignition control module was replaced.

I purchased this vehicle in april of 2006. September of 2006 the vehicle began locking and unlocking by itself, whether I'm driving or in park. I changed the battery in the remote car alarm, but that did not help. I have three children and I am not comfortable riding in a vehicle with this type of defect. *nm

For the last year to year and a half the anti theft device on my 2005 grand am has gone berserk. It randomly prevents me from starting my car. I have to leave 10 minutes early for everything so I am not late because it takes 10 minutes to re-set the device. It is shameful Pontiac won't recall for this problem as many people are experiencing it. I simply cannot afford the 200 + dollars an hour to have the dealership fix it. The problem is if you attempt to fix it yourself (I've been told it's a sensor issue) you could end up setting the anti-theft/passlock device off and never get it to re-set. As it is, I know I can re-set it in 10 minutes (though by then I'm often hot and sweaty and grumpy with melted ice cream). Help! It's just not fair. My local dealership will not tell my mech

This is my second complaint about the smell of fuel fumes a lady that I spoke to stated there should be an investigation about this issue. For my make and model but not my VIN number there has been numerous recalls for a situation due to the fuel system. Given my job responsibilities I have to charter adults with disabilities and I've been place under non vehicle compliance due to the strong odor of gas entering my vehicle. I also have my 2 children in my vehicle at all times which for me this is my only transportation. Again there's have been over 500 vehicles of my make and model who's has filed complaints on this situation and has been recalled for those vehicles. *tr

Vehicle just shut off while driving on highway. Hazardous to myself and others on the road, out of no where. Lights on dash go crazy and vehicle stops running. First time it happened got towed to a shop said there is possible leaking of the fuel tank, also suggested to replace fuel pump, then decided that was not needed and replaced fuel pressure regulator. Vehicle worked for 3 months, but could still smell fumes of gas when first started car, this smell began first week I purchased the vehicle. Second time was two days ago on the highway once again. Mechanic is concerned regarding fuel tank leak and fuel pressure regulators again. I am concerned to drive this vehicle due to it being unsafe and possible fire or explosion could occur. Who manufactures a vehicle that has insufficient fuel

I took my car in for the recall last wednesday, october 29, 2014 after receiving the notice to a gm dealership here in denver, co to fix the ignition problem in the recall. I was told by the service center they cant fix the problem with my ignition without the original set of Pontiac keys from the manufacturer. I bought this car from drivetime dealership in aurora in 2011, and the sets of keys that I received for the car were cut keys from the local hardware store. Right now I cant get this fixed, this car is dangerous to drive, the fuel line shuts down at any given random time. Im making payments on a car I cant drive, its unsafe. I was hoping the recall would fix this problem. I called drivetime dealer this morning nov, 4th, 2014 to see what they can do for a key and was told they cant

There is a clicking sound like the signal light is not working. With out having the signal is not on. We have replaced the multifunction switch and the hazard switch. This has not taken care of the problem. We have also seen smoke coming from the steering column two different times, once before replacing multifunction switch one after, the sound is coming from the dash. Have also had problems with the back drivers side tail lights, sometimes the worked others not. *tr
