We purchased a new 2000 pontiac grand am gt from a dealer in florida, the car had 7 miles on it when we bought it. From the first day we had problems with the steering, it pulled to the right always. The dealer attemted to fix the car on several occasions, finally they told us the steering rack was defective. The car had less than 10,000 miles on it, the car would make noise turning the wheel to the left or right, and a bump could be felt coming from the front of the car by turning the wheel while at low speeds.
