I own a 1999 Grand Am SE. Ever since I bought the car in Oct '04 I have been having nothing but problems with it. This past June I had to replace the engine. Leading up to that the car would die at least once a week. I would bring it to the dealer (more like tow it) and I would always be told nothing is wrong. Then yet again it would die. After that the stalling began. I would be driving and the car would shut off. It would usually take up to 10 minutes to turn back on. Once the dealer went "well maybe its your lights, you leave them on." My response was how do I leave on automatic lights? I have had to replace my alternator 3 times and have had to replace my battery twice. It got to the point that once I shut off my car the only way to start it was by taking out the mail relay chip for 2 minutes than replacing it. Than the car would start up. Finally I was on the high way and out of no where you head a loud pop. There went the header, pistons, oil gasket. The engine blew. However it was never a effect of the oil. I was always checking it and getting it changed once ever other month (I commuted a lot). So I got a rebuilt engine put in and the problems went away... or so I thought. Last night I was driving and all of a sudden my car started shaking. It went from a little to a great amount. The muffler is making an odd puff puff noise and the exhaust smells like windshield washer fluid (only was to describe it). I pulled it into my driveway and on went the trac off light and the service engine soon lights. Thank you. Also prior to the new engine my cds would no longer play. I would get the E20 error and the cds would spit out. Another problem is my rear passenger windows have scratches up the middle of them. I can not figure out where the marks are coming from.

There is a foul smell coming from the ac vent almost like ammonia. My alternator was replaced at 37000 miles, after having it "checked" by the dealership for low voltage. Car shakes at 55 mph on highway after rotation, alignment, and aftermarket wheels. Scratches on passenger window from rolling it up and down.

While in ownership of my Grand Am I have experienced problems with the transmission, which has already been replaced once and I am still having the same problem plus now experiencing smoke from exhaust while driving, bottom line too many problems for a car thats not even two years old yet.
