Pontiac Grand Am 2001 Complaint

Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : FOUNDATION COMPONENTS : DISC : ROTOR

BAY VILLAGE, OH

Consumer Complaint:
I HAVE A PONTIAC GRAND AM GT 2001 V6 AND IT HAS 3 MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS 52,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS/BREAKS TWICE ALREADY. WHENEVER THE FRONT BRAKES ARE APPLIED THEY PULSATE AND DRAG THE CAR TO A STOP. BEST OF ALL ITS STARTING TO SHUDDER AGAIN WHEN I USE THE BREAKS. SO, SOON TO BE 3 TIMES IN ABOUT 3 YEARS. SECOND, THE SPEAKERS HAVE BLOWN 2 TIMES. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY GM WOULD PUT SPEAKERS IN THE CAR THAT CANNOT HANDLE THE POWER FROM THE FACTORY RECIEVER. FINALLY, THE ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT WOULD TURN ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THEN TURN OFF AFTER 10-30 SECONDS. THIS WENT ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND I BROUGHT IT IN TO GET CHECKED OUT. THEY TOLD ME THE DEX COOL COOLANT ATE THROUGH THE GASKETS, WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS OF COOLANT. ITS $800 TO GET IT FIXED. PLEASE DO SOMETHING, THIS CAR'S DESIGN IS FLAWED.*AK
