#34 of 101 2001 Pontiac Grand Am: Service Engine Soon & Trac Off by saidthegirl Sep 19, 2007 (7:36 pm)
#35 of 101 2001 Pontiac Grand Am: Service Engine Soon & Trac Off by saidthegirl Sep 16, 2007 (5:36 pm)
Here are my problems! Hopefully someone knows whats going on or has the same problem.   My Trac Off light has been coming on quite frequently over the past couple of weeks. Usually if i would turn off my car and turn it back on again the light would go off. I noticed that when I am driving with the Trac Off light on my car kicks back when ever i accelerate. Yesterday my Service Engine Soon light and my Trac Off light came on at the same time. Again, whenever i accelerated my car would kick back. I pulled over and turned off my car and turned it back on a couple of seconds later and my car did a powerful kick back when i put it in Drive. That scared the crap out of me! After I left my car off for a about 10 minutes and turned my car back on, both lights turned off. Now the day after, both my lights are now on and they do not turn off. I still get that horrible kick back when i accelerate. BUT if my car has been turned off for a couple of hours it does not do the kick back when i put it in Drive. Another is the shaking my car does when I drive, it might mean that my tires need to be rebalanced. Does that sound right? My last problem is this rattling noise that sounds very very loud when i am braking or the first time i accelerate. The noise eventually fades away once i am driving (or so i think). I notice that when i have my car on and i put it in park, the noise quiets down. And it quiets down when I turn off my air. Ok that is the jist of it! Hopefully someone else can help me   Any information would be greatly appreciated.   -Krystal Replies to this message: mselcke717 (Sep 19, 2007 4:47 pm) jimsmith2354 (Dec 26, 2007 9:58 am) jimsmith2354 (Feb 20, 2008 7:04 pm) nrbacarl (Apr 07, 2008 10:48 am)

#37 of 101 2000 grand am ??? by 98explorer Sep 19, 2007 (7:34 pm)
Ok, I just bought a 2000 grand am this morning. I drove it around today and this evening got on the interstate got about 10 or 15 miles down and was going about 75mph. The car just lost power, starting slowing down, got off on the shoulder and the whole engine started jerking and it died. I waited about 15 minutes and started it again. I got about 2 miles and it did it again. So I waited again, did it all over again and this continued until I got home. When I got into town and was driving slower, it didn't happen again. Does ANYONE know what this could be? I will be calling the man I bought it from in the morning, but I would really like to know what it is. It also has the Trac off light on and I don't know what that means. Thanks!! Replies to this message: jt1987 (Jan 21, 2008 2:17 pm)

Also when i try to start it the trunk is now popping open on its own.............? any suggestions?

Replying to: heather0227 (Nov 27, 2007 8:37 pm) It means that the traction control in the transaxle is being disabled. It could mean a transmission problem or a problem in the control systems for it. The only way to know for sure is to have it diagnosed.

#42 of 101 Loss of Power by kymskids Dec 10, 2007 (6:10 pm)
We just bought a 2000 pontiac grand am, 93000. miles. My son went to move the car and there was no power, you could put it in gear, but it would not do anything, When you press on the gas there is nothing. Can anyone help? Replies to this message: jimsmith2354 (Dec 13, 2007 7:55 pm)

Replying to: kymskids (Dec 10, 2007 6:10 pm) If the engine revs up, but the car does not want to move, then check the transmission fluid level. If the engine seems tired, the fuel pump would be the first thing to check. Jim
