I have a 2000 GT, 31k miles, love my Pontiacs so upon discontinuation of production, I bought the Ram Air Inducted hood aftermarket have had minor rear suspension issues but now I'm about to attempt an overwhelming feat by trying to tackle the commonly reported Power drivers seat non funct. issue, another commonly reported "Strange Front End Sound" problem among other minor probs. PLEASE? Any advice, help would be truly appreciated,,,HeLP!!

Do you drive a 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
