Fuel pump in gas tank has gone out twice. The first time it was under warranty and in the shop for 3 days. The second time, I did it and it took all of 30 minutes.
I have changed the brakes and rotors about 4 or 5 times.
The A/C circuit behind the blower went bad from water leaking into the car. The blower would only work in 3-4-5.
The driver side window assembly broke. Just the little clips, but I had to buy a whole new assembly. And its going out again, I can hear it...
The driver seat motor went out. The seat back frame broke. The tilt handle also broke. I just put in a whole new seat.
The turn signal takes a day off occasionally.
The radio volume knob adjusts the volume randomly.
The trunk locking mechanism went out. I had to take it apart and oil it up.
The horn relay went out.
The lights on the radio display don't work.
My factory rear speakers blew out.
The wiper motor gets the shakes sometimes when I turn it on.
My ignition won't 'recognize' my key anymore so I have to jiggle it to get it to turn.
The paint on the hood is fading around where the heat guard is on the underside.
The passenger side mirror fell off.
I hear wind from coming in from everywhere now. My car used to be so quiet.
I bought this car in early 2001 and have put about 130,000 miles on it.
Even though sometimes I get frustrated with all the little things that go wrong, I take very good care of my car.
Its very comfortable on the long trips I usually take and seats 4 with all their stuff no problem.
Even with a measly 4 cylinders, it still delivers some power while being fuel conservative.
The makers of this car had a great idea going when they made it, they just slacked off on the quality.
The blower only working on 3-4-5 is most likely caused from the blower resister which is an extremely common problem on the 99-05 Grand Am's.
