Replying to: ijennings1 (Apr 17, 2004 8:56 am)  Can someone please help me? I bought a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am with 90k miles on it for $1000.00 about 6 months ago. Since I have made this haunting mistake, it has been in the shop 6 different times, spending about $2000.00 . I noticed a few weeks ago that the low coolant light kept going, there was a leak coming from the passenger front end and the thermostat would go into the red. I brought it to a new garage to get it fixed. They installed a new water pump and thermostat ($600.00). I went to pick it up today, and on the way home I noticed the low coolant light was still on and it was running past 220, but not quite in the red. I took it back to the shop and they told me that there may be some air bubbles and to let it run a bit and they should come out. I went home, let it sit for about 3 hours and took it for a road test. I first drove through town, 35-45 mph, still over 220 but not in the red. I took it on the highway, the second I sped up, it went below 220 then slowly crept up to just below the red. It doesn't seem to go in the red, but for $600.00, I am not impressed!!! Please somebody help me figure out what is wrong with my car! The techs can't! Thank you, rezn8princess cliffordjes  yahoo.com

Replying to: football (Dec 10, 2004 1:35 pm) This problem started last summer/fall. I noticed the floor under the carpet on the driver's front seat and the back seat (right side of car) were soaked. I sopped it up a few times and then winter came. So far, it hasn't rained much, so I don't know yet if the problem will persist. I did read somewhere that a rear taillight was not sealed properly on a Grand Am and this caused the problem. Who knows! |

Replying to: szerfas (Jun 23, 1999 4:42 pm) 1997 I purchased a 1994 Red Grand-Am Gt two door. It had 80,000 miles on. At 150,000 the Tranny began to make a clunking sound. I had it check and re-built. It cost me 1,500. It lasted just past the lousy 90 day warranty, than began making the clunking sound again, only not as bad as before. I put another 55,000 miles on the car. The Original Water Pump failed at about 180,000. Other than that the car preformed flawlessly. I replaced it at 205,000 miles. It was still making the clunking noise. I brought a 2002 Sliver two door Grand-Am Gt. It had 30,000 miles on it. It now has 47,000. So far I have nothing really bad to say about the car. It could use more horse Power. I have had it up to 110 MPH. After about 100 MPH you have to drop into third to go faster. Other than weak Tyrannies and low horse power from most of GM's motors I think it's a nice car. Big improvement over the 94. So far gas mileage as been pretty good. I drive about 80 miles a day. I can usually drive the five day work week on a tank of gas, and have a little left over on Friday. Note: I have installed a K&N filter. Saw a slight improvement in both performance and fuel economy.

I think that may be something as simple as gas cap, either on crooked, not tight, or gasket leaking.
