Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am the original owner of a 2002 pontiac grand am - four door vehicle. it currently has approximately 40,000 miles. all four tires leaked air and i needed to constantly to check and fill all four tires. they seemed to leak a random paces losing air at different rates. i have had multiple problems with this vehicle, including noise from the tires shortly after purchase. the dealership agreed to replace two of the tires per some service bulletin but once they were rotated, the noise started up again. also, had problems with my windshield wipers remaining on when utilizing mist for up to 25 swipes. the wipers also stop in the middle of the windshield when using mist or the intermittent option. the electric door locks and window buttons only worked on occasion other than those on the drivers side. at approximately 33,000 miles while having a routine oil change, a valve had to be replaced due to antifreeze/oil leaking with the potential of burning out the engine. clearly this has been just one problem after another. am completely disappointed in pontiac. this was my first (and last) pontiac purchase due to the number of issues with the car. the intent at purchase was that this vehicle could then be passed to my teenage daughter who will begin driving this year, knowing that i have maintained the car and it has low mileage. at his point, i am concerned for her safety. *ak
