I agree. I am so glad to have found this forum.. I will add another level to the Pontiac Grand Am water issue.. Mine is 94. I recently got this car, as it was my dad's. Very low mileage, and he kept it very well maintained BUT it sat for quite awhile without being driven (about 6 months and then went through a cold winter in an unheated garage (Northern Wisconsin) .
 
I have water that now accumulates in the back passenger floor well and on the driver's front side only. Sometimes I have 2 inches in the back seat. I dried it all out, (still not knowing for sure where it is coming from), and with the floors perfectly dry, I drove it for about 2 miles, let it sit in front of my office, (not raining) and when I came back out to go home, it looked like a poured a couple gallons of water in it!
 
My guy and my mechanic that there is a leak where water is getting in and getting trapped. I will pass these replies onto them BUT how do I explain the two different places that ge t wet.. (Front Driver's and back passenger)?
 
I would love and greatly apppreciate all the help and suggestions that any has to offer.. I love the car, but I hate letting it just sit and not be used.

Honestly, I think you should take advantage of the Cash For Clunker government program being offered right now (I would think a 94 Grand Am would quality for this deal). The Cash For Clunker deal is sweet and I only wish I wouldn't have let my 95 Pontiac Grand Am go to the Demolition Derby at the County Fair last summer. If I had kept it on the road one more year I could have traded it in at book value PLUS the government would have given me an additional $4,500 on top of that! It's a program they are doing to get older cars off the road and stimulate business at dealerships. If there is anyway you can make a monthly car payment of any sort you should seriously consider this program. Not sure how much longer it's going to be going on for. I can say from experience that once the Pontiac Grand Ams start getting their mystery leaks they can be impossible to fix... I had 3 or 4 mechanics look at mine and none of them could permanently fix it although they tried several things. Basically once they're they're for good! I don't even think Pontiac Grand Ams are being made anymore. I have a 2008 Toyota Camry now and am loving it... it's reliable and more gas efficient and has much higher safety ratings than the ol' Pontiac did. Best of luck!

According to the latest info on the fuel economy site, neither a 4 or 6 cyl 94 Grand Am qualifies under the CARS program since they have combined economy ratings above 18 mpg. I doubt if a 95 would either.

wow, I can't find it either. I looked here

I see they have a 95 Pontaic Grand Prix and I thought Grand Prix were supposed to be a better model than Grand Am. In fact, I don't see any Pontiac Grand Am's on the list?

95 grand am puddle by rkline91

I have had my 95 grand am for about two years. The first year i noticed i had a puddle problem. It clearly starts in the passengers front, however the puddle gets so big as i'm driving goes to the back and ends up on all floors. It wasn't a big problem and during the summer when it was real humid the puddle would completely evaporate. Even though it would always come back and freeze over the winter. However, this past summer the puddle didn't seem to evaporate, the problem is worse. At all times i seem to have a four inch puddle in my car. Every time i go to drive my car i have to scoop the water out with a cup in order to keep myself partially dry. I would completely get rid of all the water and i come back a half hour later, no matter what the weather, the same size puddle would always be there waiting for me. I had a friend do some work on my radiator this summer and he decided he needed to jack up the car in order to get underneath. As he went into my trunk we noticed that the puddle was in my trunk too. Not only was it in my trunk but my spare tire compartment was completely full of water, the jack was all rusted, and garbage. I want to bring this car out to college about two hours away from my home but i'm scared that its not safe enough for the long drive. Every person i ask seems baffled. Should i worry about this, is there an easy fix, do you think my car's safe enough to bring to school? I would greatly appreciate any input
