MY 2002 GRAND AM GT HAS BEEN TO THE GARAGE FOUR TIMES FOR ABS/WHEEL PROBLEMS. UNTIL NOW THE WORK HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT FOR A NEW WHEEL BEARING ON THE LEFT SIDE IT COST ME $400, WITH 47,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DEALER ALREADY REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE BEARING AND HAD TO PUT ON A NEW CALIPER UNDER WARRANTY. GMAC WON'T STAND BEHIND THE CAR BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT'S T THE SINCE OF PAYING $22,000 FOR A CAR IF IT'S A PIECE OF SH*T AT LESS THAN $50,000 MILES. THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO EXPECT TO SINK MONEY INTO MY VEHICLE. SORRY BUT EVERY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, I NEVER HAD TO TAKE TO THE GARAGE OTHER THAN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. THE CAR HAS BEEN FOR OTHER THINGS: 1. MOLDING FELL OF FRONT RIGHT SIDE, MISFIRE IN THE 6TH CYLINDER. THESE THINGS WERE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE THE CARS A LEMON! NEITHER THE GARAGE/DEALER OR GMAC HAS BEEN ANY HELP. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS UP, I'M JUST SUPPOSED TO SUCK IT UP I GUESS. I WON'T BE PUTTING MUCH MORE MONEY INTO IT, CAUSE IT'S HEADED DOWN THE ROAD. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THEM.
