Complaint

MAINE -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
To Whom it may concern:
I bought a 1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT about a year ago. I have had nothing but problems with the car sense the day I bought it. My first complaint was the breaks, I can touch my brakes and instead of breaking all at once one grabs then another and then the other. Face it we live in Maine and I could get in serious accident. I went to the dealer ship that I purschased the car and he said he fixed them. The next day here I go again and samething happened. He told me to bring the car to a Pontiac Dealership in which I did and they could not find the problem. 1 week goes by, I am sitting at wendy's drive thru when the car decides to stall. I could not start it. Again I take it back to dealership and he stated that he could not duplicate the problem and he could not fix it. Take to Pontiac dealership who then put it on diagnostics test and they just so happen to say the same thing that the dealership said to me? Is this a coensadense or did the dealerships talk>>>hhhhmmmm let me think about that one. Then I go in put my car in park and the key will not shut off. Again I take it back and he just said owe there is little button underneath stearring wheel just push that in and it will shut off. Well wouldnt you know I get a recall notice in the mail stating that they are replacing the wiring harness on all pontiac grands am from 98-01. I got the wiring harness replaced which did not solve the problem. I called the pontiac dealer ship and they replaced a whole new ignition switch. They have just called me today and said they replaced it but that was not the problem but it was a sylinoide underneath my stearing wheel that is broken and I am unable to put my car in park and they all stated that it could be very dangerous because it will over heat and can start a fire inside the car. I believe I have bought a lemon and I am affraid that there is not a darn thing anyone can do about it.
As a resolution, I would like the following:
Is there anything you can do for me. Like get these repairs fixed at no cost to me. Sense I have missed time from work and have just gotten the big run around from both dealers.
Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.
