Replying to: burdawg (Aug 13, 2009 6:05 am) http://www.edmunds.com/cash-for-clunkers/eligible-vehicles.html 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? |

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

Replying to: rkline91 (Oct 08, 2009 12:08 pm)  I had the same problem with a 96 with water on the inside of the car. I traced the problem to a broken plastic inlet/outlet pipe on the heater core. I replaced the heater core with one I bought at Autozone (in stock). The new core comes with metal pipes. If the car is loosing coolant it would be a clue. This was the fix.

I too have wet trunk and floor board back drivers side with a puddle. After investigating where the water could possibly be coming from I discovered the spoiler was dripping water. I have taken spoiler off and will seal it. Has anyone also had this problem???

I bought a 2003 Pontiac Grand AM - 4 door - in 2007 and it has leaked almost from day one. I have gotten no assistance from the dealership. They told me that they don't work on doors or windows. The water appears to be coming in right where the release latch is for the hood. I can see the water when I open the door. It also appears that water has gotten into the fuse box panel and it appears to also be minimally wet on the inside. If I stick a flat-head screwdriver in the joint and lift it back a little, Ican also see water where the dashboard meets the windshield area right above the fuse panel (hopefully this gives enough reference points so that you can tell where in the car I am talking about). I put silicone all around the windshield and this didn't help. I then sealed all around the door and this didn't help either. I also sealed around the area of the door where there is a hoze leading into the side of the car (near the area of the hood release). This hasn't helped either. It does not leak on the passenger side or the trunk just the driver side. The leak has gotten progressively worse to the point where now the entire left side of the car is wet, front and back and the windows are fogged up and sweating from the inside from all the moisture. The smell is also horrible. I put down several towels and it dries out a little bit but if it rains (even a little bit) it is soaking wet again. I cannot afford another car but this problem is driving me crazy. I have standing water in my car EVERY time it rains. Any suggestions or correcting this problem? PLEASE HELP!!
