Faults:

I have only had the car one week. The only thing that is wrong at this time is when it goes over 120km it makes a humming in the dash.

The plastic is also coming off where you close the door.

There was also a small spot on the back door passenger side that has a bit of paint peeled off.

General Comments:

I love this car, it handles the road amazingly well. I hardly feel bumps and it corners very well. It has great pick up, very perky.

The looks of the car are also nice, very aggressive front styling with a seemingly higher rear end, makes me think of a jungle cat about to pounce.

Faults:

So far I have had to replace the brake pads 2 times.

Turn the rotors twice and replace the rubber lines once.

I now have at least one bad wheel speed sensor and bad wheel bearings.

General Comments:

The braking system needs to be redesigned for better wear.

The plastic and carpet in the trunk is always having to be put back on.

It does have good pick up and speed when needed. Comfort isn't too bad, but the seats take a long time to recover after a 3000 mile drive.

Faults:

All four door panels are coming apart.

Dashboard is coming apart.

Windshield air vents are cracked due to the dashboard coming apart.

Outside window trim is coming apart.

Had to replace brakes 4 times.

Had front hydraulic brake service done. Cost: $290.

Replaced front rotors at 37,000 miles. Cost: $110.

Replaced coil packs. Cost: $125.

Replaced coil pack housing. Cost: $120.

Alternator had to be replaced 3 times.

Battery has been replaced 4 times.

Slips gears after backing up and then putting shifter into drive.

RPM's fluctuate at stop lights (the car feels like it wants to cut off)

General Comments:

I have paid out over $2000 in repair costs for this car. I have maintained the car by the book, and still continue to have problems with it. I have owned a couple of other cars, and have never had the amount of problems with them as I have had with my Grand Am.

I have not received any help from the dealership in any of these problems, and I know I never will. That is why I am currently researching Florida's lemon laws, gathering all repair and maintenance invoices, and I plan to submit copies and proof of all this to GM.

Faults:

The main problem is it goes through brakes to fast.

General Comments:

I really love everything about the car. Its great in all weather.

It is very reliable.

The new wide body style makes a difference on windy roads.
