FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

'M WRITING TO NOTIFY GM ABOUT A DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE SECURITY SYSTEM ACTIVATES PREVENTING THE CAR TO STOP FOR 10 MINUTES UNTIL IT RESETS, CAUSING MANY WORK RELATED ISSUES. THIS SECURITY ISSUE PREVENTS THE FUEL PUMP FROM ACTIVATING, ALLOWING THE CAR TO START. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO SEVERE, THE CAR NOW SHUTS DOWN MID DRIVE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. LIVING IN LOUISVILLE, TN AWAY 10 HOURS FROM HOME, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO KEEP USING THIS VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK. NOW I'M FORCED TO REMAIN IN THE OUTSIDE LANE TO QUICKLY GET OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 15 TIMES A WEEK, ALMOST CAUSING AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC WHERE WE REPLACED THE ECM TWO SEPARATE TIMES, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. HAS THERE BEEN MANY ISSUES REPORTED ABOUT THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVE?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AT THE STORE AND THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS ON AND CAR WOULDN'T START HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED ACROSS TOWN. THEN I READ THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. NOW I HEAR GM IS RECALLING FOR IGNITION SWITCH. WHICH IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. IM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE IM DRIVING. LETS HOPE NOT. WENT TO THE GM WEB PAGE THEY SAID IT WASN'T RECALLED AND THEN I SEE IT ON A RECALL LIST. I GUESS I NEED TO PURSUE THIS A LITTLE MORE TO GET THE PROBLEM SOLVED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR SLOWING DOWN. THEY ARE SAYING THE FUEL INJECTOR IS BAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

ON MY WAY TO WORK (2ND SHIFT) IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AS I WAS PREPARING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT-OFF BLOCKING TRAFFIC. (I WAS EVENTUALLY - 20 MINUTES - ABLE TO GET HELP TO PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD.) EVERYTHING SHUT OFF AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART....EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE POWER-STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW NOTHING MORE THEN A TWO-TON PAPERWEIGHT IN MY GARAGE - AND ABOUT AS USEFUL. ON A SECOND OCCASION IT CUT-OFF AS I PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION...FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO COAST FAR ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE TURN LANE AND THEN WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED TO PUSH IT BACK OFF THE ROAD. AN ONLINE SEARCH TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE BUT THERE SEEMS NO AGREEMENT ON A SOLUTION/FIX. EVIDENTLY THE SECURITY SYSTEM SIMPLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY (EVEN WHEN IT IS THE CORRECT ONE) AND THINKS THE CAR IS BEING STOLEN AND THUS SHUTS ITSELF OFF. WHAT WOULD/COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS AT SPEED IN TRAFFIC? IF PONTIAC KNOWS ABOUT THIS WHY IS THERE NO RECALL....DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST?

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

I HAVE A 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE AND HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS AND MOST RECENTLY DROPPED $300.00 TO PUT A NEW FUEL PUMP IN IT. THE CAR WILL STILL NOT START. IT TURNS OVER AND EVERYTHING BUT WILL NOT START. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START IT FOR OVER A WEEK NOW AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SECURITY PASSLOCK SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BY GM SEEING THAT IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I PURCHASED A USED 2001 GRAND AM GT IN SEPT 08 AND THE CAR RUNS GREAT BUT IT IS HARD TO START SOMETIMES. IT ALSO GETS ABOUT 15MPG IN TOWN. I HAVE CHECK THE PLUGS, WIRES AND TANK. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE DEALER WOULD EVEN CONSIDER CHECKING.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS/ISSUES ARE OCCURRING WITH/IN MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF MY VEHICLE AND HAVE EXPERIENCED EVERY SINGLE ISSUE OTHERS HAVE WROTE ABOUT. FROM THE SECURITY ISSUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT NOT MOVING AT ALL..... GM REALLY NEEDS TO RESEARCH/INVESTIGATE THESE MATTERS AND PLACE RE-CALLS ON ALL OF THEM ASAP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER AND APPARENTLY THEY ARE OVERLOOKING THIS COMPLETELY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. AT LEAST ONCE A DAY THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER AND I MUST RESET BY TURNING TO THE ON POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES. THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN UNFAMILIAR SITUATIONS WAITING FOR THIS TO RESET. UPON THE FIRST TWO TIMES OF THIS HAPPENING (BEFORE I HAD A REPAIRMAN TELL ME OF THE RESETTING) I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP AND OVER 400 DOLLARS SPENT ON A FUEL PUMP. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE THIRD TIME AFTER BEING TOWED IT STARTED AT THE SHOP. THE FOURTH TIME IT HAPPENED AND TOWED TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE THE ONES TO TELL ME OF THE RESET PROCEDURES. NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY DAY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

THIS IS MY PROCEDURE OF START ENGINE. TURN ON THE KEY, I CAN SEE THE SIGN OF SECURITY. WAIT 10MINUTES UNTIL LIGHTS OFF. TURN OFF THE KEY AND START THE ENGINE. THAT IS TOO ANNOYING ME. I ALREADY TOWED MY CAR 3 TIMES AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. IT COSTS $500. IS THAT NOT SERIOUS? RECENTLY IT OCCURS TOO OFTEN!!!

NHTSA complaint #10230402 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL TANK IS NOT MADE OF STEEL IT IS MADE OF SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY CAR. BUT MY CAR DOES NOT FIT THE VIN NUMBER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE OF THE FUEL TANK HAVING A CRACK. I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE GM PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM ACTS LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS AND THE SOLUTION IS TO WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES WITH THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES AND THE SECURITY IS BYPASSED AND THEN THE CAR CAN BE STARTED. GM DOESN'T KNOW WHY AND HAS NO FIX. I HAD IT TOWED THE FIRST TIME NOT KNOWING FUEL PUMP, WHAT?

MY 2001 GRAND AM SE HIT AROUND 98,000 KMS AND HAS BEEN REVVING AT 2,500 TO 3,000 RPMS WHILE IDLING AND WHILE DRIVING OVER REVS AND YOU NEED TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE. HAVE REPLACED INTAKE MANIFOLD, ONE SENSOR, ONE VALVE, AND $1,000 LATER MY CAR STILL DOES THE SAME. THIS IS NOT SAFE WHILE TRANSPORTING CHILDREN AND WITH WINTER COMING IT SHOULD MAKE FOR A SCARY RIDE.

I BOUGHT A USED 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM IN FEBRUARY 2002. THE CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT ON THE CAR IN JANUARY 2003. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS FIXED AT THE DEALER I FINALLY GAVE UP. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED (SPRING 2003). SINCE THAT TIME I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP TWICE LAST FALL. NOW ITS GONE OUT AGAIN. WHAT CAN I DO? THE CAR HAS AN EVIDENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

WELL I'VE CALLED AND TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS LOCATED IN LEXINGTON,KY (PAUL MILLER FORD). I HAVE TALKED TO THE SALE'S MAN THAT HAVE SOLD THIS CAR TO ME THAT I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THAT I HAVE ONLY BEEN HAVING FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS NOW. TALKED TO HIM AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR WASN'T NOTHING TO BE DONE AT ALL... IN OTHER WORDS THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU. WHEN I GOT THIS CAR THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT'S BEEN CHECKED OUT AND THERE WASN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND ALSO THAT A OLDER LADY HAD IT ALREADY MAINTAINED BEFORE WE GOT THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THAT IT WONT START WHEN IT'S COLD,BRAKES MAKE SOME TIME OF FUNNY NOISE,TURN THE AIR UP TO LEVEL 3 FOR IT TO COME ON,SECURITY LIGHT IS COMING ON,IT'S EATING UP GAS REALLY BAD. I'M HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP ME THEN TELL SOME BULL AND FIND A PROBLEM TO MY SOLUTION. ALSO, I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE CAR THAT I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AND I WORK. I'M IN RISK OF LOOSENING MY JOB OVER THIS MATTER. NO MONEY, NO CAR PAYMENT AND NO JOB!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

WHERE TO START...I HAVE A 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF BUYING IT, MY FUEL PUMP & COMPUTER WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. NEXT WAS MY WATER PUMP & TIMING CHAIN. THEN WAS THE SECURITY SYSTEM, THEN THE TURN SIGNALS, THEN THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN. AND NOW MY BRAKES ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. THE ONLY THING COVERED BY GM WAS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. ALL OTHER REPLACEMENTS WERE AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THIS SITE, I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP AT ALL. I EXPLAINED THAT SINCE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THINGS, IT HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY SHRUGGED THAT OFF. THEY FINALLY SENT ME A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER "ENTERTAIN" ANY OF MY COMMENTS OR COMPLAINTS. DO NOT BUY A PONTIAC!!! JUNK CITY!!!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY PONTIAC GRAND AM FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL FILTER REPLACES, THE COILS, COVER AND PLUGS. 350.00 LATER, IT IS FOUND TO SUPPOSEDLY BE THE INJECTORS. MY MECHANIC STATED HE FOUND OUT THAT A BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THE INJECTORS THAT THEY WERE HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THEM. WHY WAS THERE NOT A RECALL? NOW IT IS GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER 650.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. IF THERE IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL OR WHY IS PONTIAC NOT REPLACING THE PARTS AT THEIR EXPENSE?

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

I PURCHASED MY 2001 GRAND AM IN AUG OF 2005 AND HAVE SO FAR HAD THE PASSLOCK GO OUT ON ME TWICE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME I REPLACED THE PASSLOCK WAS ONLY TWO MONTHS AGO AND YESTERDAY I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND EXTENSIVE PROBLEM IN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE MY CAR TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC EVERY TIME THIS GOES WRONG - THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PASSLOCK!!! OR PONTIAC SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS

THE BODY CONTROL MODULE CAUSED TWO BATTERIES TO FAIL. THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH FAILED CAUSING CLICKING NOISE IN THE ASH. *TS WHEN THE BCM FAILED THE CONSUMER NOTICED A 1 AMP DRAW. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT REPLACED THE BCM PER THE CONSUMERS REQUEST. THE VEHICLE WAS BUCKING AND FELT AS IF THERE WAS A MAJOR MISS. THIS WAS DUE TO FAULTY #4 INJECTOR. THE INJECTOR WAS REPLACED AND THE PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED.
