Grand Am 6-cyl

  • 10,000 miles
I have had this vehicle for 14 years & have multiple issues with it in that the ignition switch has been replaced 2 to 3 times in the first 3 years of owning the car and never did work property; I had to have the intake gasket done & the head gasket done; I too had an issue w/ the ABS light being on and a wire or something was off. Luckily I have a relative who is a mechanic and did not have to endure the upcharge of the dealership however, these were costly expenses none the less. I contacted GM about the ignition switch & was told my VIN was not part of the recall. I also contacted my local news station to try to investigate later model ignition switch issues with no result. I believe this needs further review. My car currently has 185K miles on it but only had about 150 3 yrs ago when the intake & head went. And as I stated the ignition switch never worked property (always a clicking sound like the turn signal was on coming from the ignition - I was also able to remove the key from the ignition & drive the vehicle w/ the ignition in the on position).
