I just bought the car 3 weeks ago and never would have if I had found this web site. The car cranks and won't start. The dealer replaced the fuel pump and the sending unit. It ran for about 2 hours and then quit.Now the dealer has taken it back because they just took 650.00 for the repair of something that wasn't broken. I would have never had to of bought an American car if the big mouth on tv would not be telling people to buy old clunkers. This is driving the price of Nissan's or toy's to near new prices for a car about 15 years old. I wonder if the us car company's could start producing quality cars again

I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am that will turn over but will not start. I can see by reading the other complaints that I am not alone. I have towed the car 5 times, and 3 out of those 5 times, when they got it to the garage, it started. The garage replaced the fuel pump thinking that this was the problem but evidently it wasn't. (It is sitting in front of my Grandmothers house right now and will not start). I called several garages and they say if they get it there and it starts, they have no way to check it. I don't have the money to just go get another vehicle and I obviously can't or won't sell this car to another person. So I am stuck. After reading the other complaints, now I'm worried that it could cut out while I'm driving!!!! Time to recall !!!

My daughter drives her 2001 pontiac home from work and everything is fine. She gets up the next morning goes out to start the car. It turns over but won't start, fuel gauge doesn't move pass E and the radio will not come on. it seems as if it's out of gas. I put 4 gallons from my can in the car, still nothing. im told something about the security system my have it locked out. I here the fuel put pressurizing, but nothing else is going on.
