Took vehicle to dealer to have oil change.was told that they found needle bearings in oil pan. Car cannot be driven because needles may enter the engine and cause engine to seize up or complete engine failure.they had to replace 16 rocker arms, drain magnet,r and r oil pan to clean,change oil and filter. I believe these rocker arms failure is due to a defect in the vehicle as my car only has 16480 miles and is stored from oct. Through may. Car is one owner,me and has been taken for oil changes before driving in summer and again before storing for winter.this is the 30th anniversary numbered edition car and means a lot to me so i take extreme care of the car.

I bought my 1999 pontiac trans am brand new, 8/23/99. It now has 31,310 miles and both my door panels have cracks, about 1/4 way back. Also, i had a growling noise in my rear bearings and i had to have a new pinion bearings, carrier bearings, ring and pinion gear set installed. I was told by the technician where i took it to be fixed it looked like it had been driven hard. My car has been driven approx. 10 miles a day everyday since i got it and has been only once, to louisville, about 100 miles away. It has been in the garage every night since i've had it.

The brakes shudder. At low speeds it feels as though a rough spot in the brakes causes the car to stop hard then soft repeatedly. At high speeds the steering wheel and car shake. Rotors seem to be warped. Parts were replaced and same problem came up on new parts.
