#12 of 41 Cracking Noise by wallamellon Jan 09, 2008 (5:39 pm)
I have a 1996 Grand AM SE, a couple weeks ago when I'd turn left, there would be a grinding-like noise coming from the left tire. For about a month or so now I've noticed that when I go over bumps/rail road tracks..the front of my car makes a noise like it's going to crack. Does anybody have ANY idea what this could be? I'd appreciate any and all help..thank you so much! =) Replies to this message: elpuma0720 (Jul 05, 2008 6:16 pm) elpuma0720 (Jul 07, 2008 2:11 pm) 03se1 (Sep 29, 2009 5:48 pm)

my car drove fine this morning to work, when i started it to leave, it started jumping and shaking and alot of thick smoke came out of the exhaust, the check engine light and ebs lights lite up. I drove it a little ways, however it wouldnt go past 35 mph, but the rpm jumped way up to 5, it seemed almost like it wasent in gear, I just wanted to get it home, it stopped on me and wont go . it will start but when i put it in drive, it wont budge, could the catylic converter be stopped up?

#16 of 41 2002 Grand Am Replaced Water Pump now there is obnoxious noise by kristi448 Jun 23, 2008 (7:29 am)
I have a 2002 Grand Am and my boyfriend and his father replaced my water pump this past weekend, it was actually changed twice. After the first water pump was put in, my car made a screaming noise and the only thing they could figure out what was causing the loud noise was that the pump had to have a defect so they took it back and got another on from O'Reilly's Auto parts. Once they had the second pump in, the car still made a loud (not as loud as the first pump) annoying humming sound. The pump works as it is supposed to but they can't figure out what is causing the noise still. They called around and talked to a few shops and auto part stores and they keep getting told that the serpentine belt is not positioned correctly, but my car does not run of the serpentine belt, it is ran off the timing. The only suggestions they were given was to buy a water pump conditioner, which we did and there is no change in the noise. Any suggestions?

Replying to: kristi448 (Jun 23, 2008 7:29 am) Don't know what to tell you. I recently took my car to have the rotors turned and front and back pads put on for the umpteenth time. They found that my serpentine belt was worn and replaced it. Maybe it is different on your car as the serpentine belt is what keeps everything functioning like it should. If it goes, your car dies and you're stranded. Ask another question? Is your upholstery around the windows coming loose? It is almost like they cut it off too short. I've had to replace the electric window motors on both of the back windows. Wierd, when I hardly use them. Replies to this message: kristi448 (Jun 23, 2008 8:12 am)

Replying to: debt (Jun 23, 2008 8:03 am) My upholstery around the windows are fine. However, I am having repeated problems with the driver side window. first problem was window would not roll up, the clips that the window sits on broke. Had to purchase new ones from dealer and the stupid things cost $30, $30 for 4 pieces of plastic. Then the alignment screwed up, could not get the window to roll up properly, this was fixed too. Now I have the problem of the window rolling down. The motor runs and I can tell it goes down but the window itself does not stay in the clips, I have to put the window between my hands and push the window down, it rolls up fine though. I just hate my car, I wish it would blow up.
