Ashamed to call it my car

At 6,500 miles the paint began bubbling and flaking off.
At 7,000 miles water was leaking on the passenger floorboard due to improperly installed shield.

At 40,000 miles the intake manifold gasket failed.
The steering wheel has faded badly and is starting to come apart.

General Comments:
Originally I was impressed with the styling and performance of the vehicle.
However; since I purchased the vehicle it has been in the shop 18 times for various mechanical problems.
The quality of this vehicle is very poor. I cannot recommend this vehicle to anyone who plans on keeping it for more than a year or two.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I was wondering what ever happened with the fuel gage in your car? I have a 2001 Grand Am SE and the gas gauge registers all over the place. And when the car is idling I can smell a soft gas smell. Please email me at hotheat78@yahoo.com to give me more information.
