problem #2

Jan 102007

Grand Am 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 103,000 miles
I bought a used 2001 Pontiac Grand Am in February 2002. The cruise control went out on the car in January 2003. After numerous attempts to get this fixed at the dealer I finally gave up. Shortly afterwards the fuel pump had to be replaced (spring 2003). Since that time I've had to replace the fuel pump twice last fall. Now its gone out again. What can I do? the car has an evident electrical problem.

problem #1

Mar 012002

Grand Am

  • 15,500 miles
First the speed sensor malfunctioned. Then, the speed sensor hub malfunctioned within one year time limit. These sensors had an effect on the anti lock braking system which did not work when sensors failed. Cruise control will not work because it made the brake light come on. Took vehicle in to see what was wrong. Dealer did not solve the problem.
