The contact owns a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. While driving, the contact stated that the steering wheel pulled out from its frame. A local mechanic diagnosed that the engine cradle/K-frame cross member was covered with rust and broke. The dealer nor manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure was in the process of being repaired. The failure and current mileage was under 60,000. The VIN was unavailable. Updated 9/13/11 updated 2/21/12

In Pontiac Grand Am's, there have been many drivers that have had problems with water leaks. These waters leaks flood the car compartment and can leave 1-4 inches of water in the car. Some cars have had the leak on the drivers side, which can cause an accident because of the water...even after you drain it, it will still leave the pedals wet/slippery which may cause a crash.

Passenger side tire area of my 2000 Pontiac Grand Am started making a clunking noise. Upon inspection, the engine cradle/K-frame crossmember was found to be extremely rusted in several places and where the rack and pinion steering bolts to it on the passenger side was completely rusted through and broke.

I have after market rims with sumitomo htr+ 225/40zr18 tires. On my way traveling to California from Louisiana my rear tire blew out causing my rim to crack and it also scrached up the lower right half of my car, it cost me $600 to replace the rim and tire and now I have a bubble forming in my front driver side tire I think that the company who makes this tire should refund me the money I spent to replace the rim and tire, fix the damage to my car, and also give me a replacement for the one with the bubble. Something needs to be done because im not the only one this has happened to my frind has the same exact tires and his did the same thing only he was at a stop light when it happened.these tires are not cheap and I still have to repaire the body damage. Thank you from a concered soldier of the army.

The tires are very weak and are not very "durable." From the experience I've had, I don't feel safe with the tires and wheels on my car. Every time I'm driving somewhere and encounter everyday road conditions, I'm scared to find a flat, popped tire; or blowout. I've had the exterior black lining fixed 2 times and I'm not happy it is happening again! the rear windshield weather strip is separating. The lower body mold is comiing off the body around the entire vehicle. A suspension cover part doesn't fit, has been to dave cross service dept. Where car spent 4 days and said to be repaired, I got my car back and it was worse than when it went there. Whoever has replaced the front bumper is a complete moron! it isn't lined up with the proper things! the driver side is lower than the passenger side. The car sounds like it is going to fall apart on a perfect road! a lot of money has been put into this vehicle and it's very upsetting when it is taken to get fixed, pay for that, get it back, it's still not right, take it back again, pay, recieve rude customer service, then it's a half-a** job! there's so many things to comment about, but those are the top subjects with my car. Hopefully, I will be taken seriously for once. Thank you for your time, it is appreciated.
