"This car is a piece of crap. DO not waste your money. Buy a Honda and you'll be happier"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Where do I start? The drivers side door leaks water into the back seat where your feet go every time it rains, were talking like 1/2 an inch of water on the floor!

The heat/ac does not work on the 1 or 2 fan speeds.

The turn signal relays constantly click while I'm driving, so annoying!

My brakes/rotors grind.

I have ran out of gas twice because the gage told me I had over 1/4 of a tank of gas.

The dome light has fell down.

My most recent problem is that where the exhaust pipe comes out of the back of the engine there is a flexible joint that has broken so my car is LOUD as heck, kind of fun, but not supposed to be that way!

My cruise control button also sticks when I turn it on.

Also, when I acceleratemy "low coolant" light bings at me three times then the light goes off.

General comments?

I like the way the car preforms. It is all the little crap that goes wrong that I know is not my fault yet I have eto pay for it. Having read through all of your problems I wonder if there is a class action law suit that I can get in on. I feel like I bought a brand new lemon. So far I have had no engine trouble so thank god. I can barely make my car payments let alone have to spend $300 a pop every time some stupid little thing goes wrong. Over all I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy. I never thought I would say this, but buy a Honda or something foreign. No more GM cars for me that's for sure.

If you find that class action lawsuit, let me in on it too. Sounds like you're describing my car. I just wrote a review about mine on 9/30/03. The grinding from front end I thought was brakes/rotors, turned out to be bad tire design. I noticed the new grand ams don't have that tire. (Not that I plan on ever buying another one)

I would be interested in knowing how they fixed the leak in the door. my granddaughter has a 2000 model and when it rains both of the rear floor mats get wet.
