2003 Pontiac Grand Am

MALFUNCTION IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM, WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT START. A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WHEN GO TO START THE SECURITY SYSTEMS ACTS AS IF SOMEONE IS STEALING THE CAR, WHICH OUR SON IS JUST TRYING TO START HIS CAR TO GO TO SCHOOL. HE WAS STRANDED AT A GAS STATION 3 MONTHS AGO, & JUST LAST NIGHT STRANDED AT A CAR WASH. HE HAD TO PUSH HIS CAR BACK HOME, SINCE, EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLE AS OUR SON HAS. THE CAR SPACE AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS HAS GOT A WHOLE LIST OF COMPLAINTS ON THEIR WEB-SITE OF ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME AND SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLE. THE SECURITY PASS LOCK PROBLEMS, WHERE THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON FLASHING & THEN IT SHUTS THE CAR DOWN, WHERE THEN IT WILL NOT START, UNTIL IT IS RESET OR FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GRAND AM GT, SEEN OTHERS HAD INTAKE MANIFOLD ISSUES TOO, HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2002 BUT NOT 2003, LOOKING IF THERE IS A RECALL ON IT, IF SO HOW DO I GO ABOUT FIXING IT, BECAUSE I ALREADY PAID $600 TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE I HAD TO, THE GRAND AM IS OUR MAIN CAR TO TRANSPORT BOTH CHILDREN PLACES. ALSO, THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES...I HAVE YET TO GET A EMAIL, OR LETTER OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER ABOUT ANY OF THE RECALLS ON THIS VEH...DO THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHO THEY SEND THEM TO OR WHAT? *TR

THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS, I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. I GO TO START MY CAR AND IT JUST WON'T START. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN ONE WEEK (THIS WEEK). ONE TIME IT WAS AT 11:30PM AND I WAS STUCK IN MY CAR FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SUGGESTED THAT I FOLLOW SOME STEPS TO RESET THE SECURITY PASSLOCK SYSTEM. I FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTHING HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. THEN NEXT MORNING IT STARTED NO PROBLEM. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN LAST NIGHT AFTER WORK AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED HOME. I TRIED TO FOLLOW THE STEPS TO RESET THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN SAID TO RESTART YOUR CAR WITHIN 15 - 30 MINUTES. I TRIED IT A FEW TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND NOTHING. ONCE AGAIN, I GO TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT STARTED NO PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM V6. I BOUGHT IT IN 2005 FROM THE DEALER. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY IGNITION 3 TIMES. THE ALARM SYSTEM WOULD GO OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE SECURITY SIGNAL WOULD BLINK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT AND WILL NOT TODAY FOR THE 3RD TIME START. IT HAS CUT OFF ON ME ON THE FREEWAY, I WOULD PULL OVER AND THE CAR START UP AFTER ABOUT 10 MIN. THE SAR NOT STARTING HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT MOST TIMES IT STARTS, BUT WHEN IT DOESN'T THE TELLME I HAVE TO REPLACE MY IGNITION. IM BEGINNING TO THINK ITS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. *TR

THE LAMPS ON MY GT GRAND AM AREN'T RIGHT DO TO THE LOW BEAMS BEING BRIGHTER THAN THE HIGH BEEMS. AND WATER IS IN THE LAMP. AND MY CAR WILL NOT START AND I CALLED AND TOLD YOU ALL OF THIS. AND I WORKED ON IT SOME AND MOVED SOME WIRES AND IT STARED TO WORK ONCE AGAIN. AND NOW DOWN AGAIN.IT WILL NOT DO A THING BUT LIGHT UP THE DASH. SO I REPLACED THE KEYSTARTER AND IT STILL DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. MY DAUGHTERS CAR IS ALSO A GRAND AM AND IT LOCKED UP ON HER TOO AND WOULD NOT START .LORD FORBID IF YOU WERE IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE WOMEN, HOPEFULLY NOTHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN. SHE REPLACED THE IGNITION WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM WITH HER VEHICLE BUT IT IS NOT THE CASE WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS HEARING CLICK CLICK IN THE DASH A LOT AND CAN NOT TELL WHAT IT IS AND NOT SURE IF IT IS A SHORT. AND IT IS NOT FAIR WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE A DEATH TRAP. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP. PS THE CAR DOSE NOT LIKE TO STOP RIGHT IT HAS NEW BRAKES ON IT AND BEEN UPDATED. BUT STILL DOSE NOT WAIT TO STOP. BUT I CAME REALLY CLOSE TO HITTING SOME ONE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE OWNER'S MANUAL SPECIFIED A DEFECT WITH THE PASS LOCK AND ANTI-THEFT DEVICE SYSTEM, WHICH COULD RESULT IN UNEXPECTED STALLING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, BUT THE DRIVER STATED THAT THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,300.

I HAVE A 2003 PONTIAC GRAN AM GT RAM AIR FOUR DOOR SEDAN. SEVERAL WEEKS WE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED, THE CAR WOULD CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL WAS QUICKLY DEPRESSED OR I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPLACED A CABLE. THE PROBLEM ENDED THAN A FEW WEEKS LATER REAPPEARED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A PONTIAC DEALER (ADAMS/ANNAPOLIS) AND THEY CLEANED OUT SOME CONNECTIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER THIS. I RETURNED THE CAR TO ADAMS AND THEY REPLACE THE COMPUTER. THIS APPEARED TO END THE PROBLEM BUT I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ONCE YESTERDAY BUT IT HAS NOT REOCCURRED SINCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, IT WOULD FAIL TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY.

UPDATED 08/14/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WITHIN THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD CLICK WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED 08/14/09.*JB

MY CAR HAS HAD A CLICKING NOISE ONGOING FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. IT SEEMS TO BE STEMMING FROM BEHIND THE HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON IN THE CENTER OF THE CAR. TODAY THE CAR STARTED SMOKING BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? I'VE READ SO MANY COMPLAINS SIMILAR TO MINE. WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT CAUGHT ON FIRE EARLIER TODAY? PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR
