New satisfaction poll!!

[GA1999]

Hey guys...just another poll =)...just wondering what parts of your car that you have had the most problems with.

[redgrandam]

Brakes, so what did I do? put on AC delco brakes again.. DOH!! no more delco rotars!

[crazeyGT]

I say electrical, my car is weird, but it works :D :D

[vdgmcool]

So far the only main problem i've had woulb be engine problems (LIM gasket)

[ccarr8705]

I have had the LIM but my tranny is getting f'd over by aamco.

[birdhouse]

Brakes on my 00'... I swear to god every 2 months I'm putting new pads on this thing...

[SonicTron]

What? I've had equally shitty problems with all sorts of stuff

ruined transmission from previous owner
ruined suspension from previous owner
ac knob coming off
brakes
now it soudns like cv joint is busted

:hate: for grand ams

An interesting poll, but keep in mind it will depend on year, engine, transmission, optional accessories.

My 95 has been very solid in every way except electrical gremlins.
-worn headlamp combo switch (headlamps, highbeams, hazards, turn signals)
-rear defogger heated up and de-soldered itself from the window
-IDI module plug boot wore out, caused loose connection, causing intermittent non-firing
-Low oil sensor bad, idiot light always on (dead on both my cars right now)
-Ignition switch recall (aka the "don't start on fire" relay added)

No complaints here... electrical probs are welcomed over mechanical probs any day.

try to find a good used window regulator. I was told there was no such thing as a good used one. When I went to web sites looking for one, its one of the main items on the list. I guess they go out a lot on the older GA.

Yeah the disk warp real easy on the 97. I will not replace with factory again. I go for the life time aftermarket from now on.

[the doors lock]

first my upper intake.. then my lower intake :mad:

[TA^Guy]

Right now a misfiring fuel injector.
:grrrr:

Already replaced
2 LIM gaskets
The rotors were replaced with aftermarket units
And the turn signal relay.
Oh and the modling on the rear bumper, which is coming off yet again.

[RocketFast321]

windows and brakes with me

[jayhawk]

The water pump. Thats it, with 113,000+ miles on it.

[swordfencer]

You should have a selection that is for everything. Seriously, my car has been in the shop every 2-3 months for just about all the items in the poll.

2 LIM gaskets
1 IAC connector
3 leaky windshield moldings
1 fuse block
2 rocker panels
1 roof repaint
1 rear molding
passengerside window regulator
serpentine belt replaced (at 27000 miles, go figure, it was falling apart)
front brakes
the hazard light switch
all before or on 27,000 miles. I have only had the car 35 months.

[Psi]

It's gotta be either brakes or the gasket's leaking.

[3 DeeJay]

I haven't had any problems with mine except the shifter.. lucky me..

[lamonpat]

Since I got my car, 25 months ago :
-head gasket
-alternator
-new tires
-front rotors and pads (2 times)
-front coil spring and chocks
-new paint around the 4 fenders


Mom with her 03 Grand Am SE1
-left front rotor
-2 back drums brake (all new)
-power steering leaking
-paint chiping very bad on the lower 4 doors (still trying to deal something with the dealer)

[dballz]

Definately the electrical system. Sometimes I'll go to start my car, an it wont let me. My security light starts blinking, and the car wont turn over. I still have no idea why it does this. thank god it only happens once in a while.:lol:

[wiccanferret]

Probably cooling on mine. Every problem spurt seems to start and end with a cooling issue. Coming in at a very close second would be the brakes. The rear ones like to lock up every once in a while for no reason...never really have found a cure for that. And then a very close third would be suspension, as the strut mounts like to break, and the car hasn't sounded "normal" for years due to things that no one can seem to find going clunk over every little bump. Then again, on mine, don't forget the miles. I'm very happy with it, one way or the other. :cool:
