1997 Pontiac Grand Prix complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, TAKING AN EXIT AT 35 MPH, SERPENTINE BELT JUST FELL OFF, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

DUE TO FAULTY STEERING RACK, THE SYSTEM PROVIDED NO POWER ASSISTANCE DURING LEFT TURNS, THIS CONDITION WAS MOST NOTICEABLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AT STOP LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC WHERE STEERING PERFORMANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT. NLM

THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATER AND WAS REPLACED. THE SERVICE TECH NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON AND ASKED IF I HAD SEEN IT ON. I SAID YES IT HAD BEEN ON BEFORE AND GONE OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. HE THEN SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE WIRING HARNESS THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED ON OTHER GRAND PRIXS AND IT WOULD COST AROUND $200.00 TO FIX IT. HE ALSO SAID WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A ACCIDENT. BUT MY QUESTION WAS WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM THAT THEY DESIGNED. THERE IS A SBN # 98839010 ON RECORD SEQ 228, DATED 9806 NHTSA SB602269 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE? THANK YOU

BOTH HEADLIGHT LENSES FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING, LENSES NOT RETRIEVED. DEALER PARTS PRICE $214 EACH. LENS ADHESIVE WAS DRY AND BRITTLE. *AK

FAILURE RESULTED IN NO POWER ASSIST WHILE TURNING LEFT, BUT NORMAL POWER ASSIST WHILE TURNING RIGHT. DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY PRECISE FAILURE WITHIN SYSTEM. REPAIR MADE BY REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE STEERING RACK. REPAIR COST WAS $1,033. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER UNWILLING TO DISCUSS WARRANTY CONSIDERATION, CITING FACT THAT VEHICLE WAS 2 MONTHS AND 8,000 MILES BEYOND STANDARD WARRANTY PERIOD. *AK

CONSUMER NOTICED WATER CONDENSATION BUILDUP ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE CRACKS. IT REALLY AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. CONTACTED THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL, AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CONDENSATION IS NOT GOING AWAY, ONLY GETTING WORSE. *AK *ML

LEFT FRONT WHEEL SENSOR FAILED. NLM

SPECIFICALLY ASKED DEALER IF CAR HAD BEEN WRECKED AND WAS TOLD NO (WITH WITNESS) - MY CONCERNS ARE THAT CAR MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BEYOND ACCEPTABLE SAFETY LIMITS OR REPAIRS WERE NOT DONE PROPERLY, AS WELL AS MISREPRESENTATION AT TIME OF SALE (CAR WAS PRESENTED AND PRICED AS NON-WRECKED) AND NON-CONCERN WHEN I SHOWED THEM THE DAMAGE SIGNS WITHIN A MONTH AFTER THE SALE - I WOULD LIKE TO CHECK PREVIOUS TITLES FOR SALVAGE CLAIMS....HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY POPPED OFF WITHOUT WARNING....ABS SYSTEM STARTS CYCLING DURING NON-PANIC BRAKING MAKING IT HARD TO STOP, ALMOST CAUSING REAR-END ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS....ROTORS BECAME DANGEROUSLY WARPED, I REPLACED THEM WITH NEW PADS (ALL FOUR) AND ROTORS ARE NOW WARPED AGAIN. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM (DRIVERS) CREAKING NOISE (I BELIEVE A RECALL IS UNDERWAY). LOOSE TRIM THROUGHOUT. REARVIEW MIRROR REPLACED, BATTERY DIED (CAR WAS TOWED), POWER WINDOW FAILED (DEALER REPLACED), HEADLIGHTS ADMIT MOISTURE, ASHTRAY OPENS BY ITSELF, SEAT SQUEAKS, DASH RATTLES, RATTLE ALSO COMES FROM REAR OF CAR, VEHICLE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SEATBELTS DO NOT RETRACT, LEATHER ON SEATS IS CRACKING, KEY KNOB HAS TOO SHORT A RANGE, STICHING IS COMING OFF THE LEATHER WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL, ALSO THE CLUB LOCK BURNS INPRINTS INTO WHEEL IF LEFT ON IN THE SUMMER SUN, HEADLIGHTS TURN ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, BRAKES STOP WORKING IN HEAVY RAIN OR WHEN COMING OUT OF THE CAR WASH, THE POWER DOOR LOCK SWITHCH ON THE PASSENGERS DOOR FELL INTO THE DOOR, VARIOUS RETAINING CLIPS HAVE BROKEN OFF TRIM, ETC.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM (OUT OF HOME STATE) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, WHICH COST AROUND $280. BOTH SIDE DOOR POWER WINDOW HAVE PROBLEMS, AND DEALER SAID REGULATORS AND MOTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $500 PER DOOR. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER SAID THAT A HARNESS ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $250. ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING COOLANT - DEALER SAYS HEAD GASKET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND POSSIBLY CYLINDER HEADS AT A MINIMUM COST OF $1900. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT WIPERS, AIRBAG, AND POWER WINDOWS AND SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP WITH THE COST - STANDARD WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THEY WERE NOT OBLIGATED TO FIX.

HEADLIGHT LENS KEEPS FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY WHEN IT WAS RAINING. HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT DUE TO A LACK OF LENS COVER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WAS A PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE FOR REPAIRS TO CORRECT IT. THE LENS COVER IS PLASTIC & COMES IN ONE WHOLE PIECE. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER ARMS SEPARATED FROM THE WIPERS, RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROZE AND STUCK ON THE WINDOW. DEALERSHIP TOLD CONSUMER THAT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR, AND THAT WAS WHY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STUCK. WIPER MOTOR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED 2 PREVIOUS TIMES. CONSUMER BELIEVES IT TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *AK *ML

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR 9 TIMES IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS IN AN EFFORT TO RESOLVE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST DURING LOW SPEED MANUEVERS. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU'S AUTO LINE PROGRAM AND HAVE FOLLOWED ALL OF THE RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES AS PRESCRIBED BY THE BETTER BUSINESS AND GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. GENERAL MOTORS KEEPS OFFERING US A FREE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 100,000 MILES BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE CAR. IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS 16 TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN NEW, WITH THE CAR BEING TIED UP FOR SERVICE AN APPROXIMATE TOTAL OF OVER 60 DAYS. WE ARE AT OUR WITS END WITH GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND WHEN WE ASK THEM WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO FIX THE CAR THEY KEEP OFFERING US A FREE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I RECENTLY TOLD THEM THAT IT DID'NT MATTER HOW LONG THE WARRANTY WAS TO BE EXTENDED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE CAR AND KEEP SIDE STEPPING THE ISSUE. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS VEHICLE WILL LOSE ITS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND MY WIFE HAS COME CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF LOSING THE POWER STEERING ON THREE INCIDENTS. *AK

WHILE STOPPING AT STOP SIGN DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT FELL OFF WITHOUT A WARNING. A YEAR AGO, THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. *AK *ML

SRS AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON AND WOULD STAY ON FOR EXTENDED LENGTHS OF TIME AND THEN GO OUT OCCASIONALLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO BARRY NISSAN/VOLVO, 166 CONNELL HIGHWAY, NEWPORT RI 02840 (A GM GOODWRENCH SERVICE PLUS REPAIR CENTER) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART TO EVEN START AN INVESTIGATION. I HAD THEM ORDER THE PART AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. ON SUNDAY JANUARY 9TH, PRIOR TO MY SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, A PASSENGER IN MY CAR NOTICED THAT THEIR WAS POWDER ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON THE DAY OF THE SHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND SHOWED THEM THE POWDER. BARRY NISSAN /VOLVO INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND CALLED LATER TO NOTIFY ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT NONE OF THE SENSORS HAD TRIPPED. THEY CALLED THEIR REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER AND HAVE BEEN AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FROM HIM/HER. *AK

PONTIAC TOLD ME THE FACTORY DETERMINES THE CARS THE BULLETIN APLIES TO, DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO ME. WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR AIR CONDITIIONER CUTTING OFF SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. BULLETIN SAYS THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER CARS WITH THE SAME ENGINE(63-83-15 - BONNEVILLE - 3.8 L) EVENTIALLY I GUESS IT WILL BE OUT OF WARRENTY AND I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT ALSO. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS IMPROPERLY PARKED IN A VERTICAL POSITION IN FRONT OF DRIVER AFTER TRYING TO WIPE FROST OFF WINDSHIELD. DRIVER HAD TO KEEP WIPERS IN LOWEST INTERMITTENT SETTING TO KEEP WIPERS IN A LOWER POSITION AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. CONTINUED TRYING FOR FIRST 10 MINUTES OF TRIP TO TURN WIPERS OFF, BUT STILL PARKED VERTICALLY. AT THE END OF THE 50-MILE TRIP DRIVER TURNED WIPERS OFF AND THEY PARKED IN THEIR NORMAL POSITION. PROBLEM IS POSSIBLY A RESULT OF FIRST TIME TEMPERATURE FELL BELOW 32 DEGREES THIS WINTER AND FROM SNOWFALL. *AK

HEADLIGHT LENS FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING. IF RAINING IT WOULD BURN THE BULB OUT, AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BE INOPERATIVE WHICH MAY RESULT IN VISUAL DIFFICULTY AND A CRASH. DEALER REPLACES THE LENS TWICE, BUT PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

HEADLIGHT COVERS FALL OFF WHEN DRIVING AND HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. DANGEROUS FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I'VE SPOKE WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS AND LOOK UP INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GLUE THEY USED TO SEAL THE HEADLIGHTS. THE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT COVERS HAVE A DIFFERENT SEALANT THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. BOTH HEADLIGHT COVERS FELL OFF ON DIFFERENT DATES.

WHEN THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED, IT HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT, IT NOW HAS 58,000 MILES, THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY MONTH OR EVERY TWO MONTHS, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY IN NO WAY WANT TO HELP ME, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR UP THERE NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE SAME THINGS UNTIL THEY FINALLY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH MY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, THEY HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THE WHEEL BEARING ON THIS CAR, THE WHEEL SENSORS, BLOCK ASSEMBLY, FUEL SENDING UNIT, POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE, BODY CONTROL MODULE, I'VE EVEN REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP, TENTIONSER, THEY EVEN ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE INTERIOR, WHICH WAS NOT TORN DUE TO ABUSE, ROTORS, THEY FOUND A SHORTAGE UNDERHOOD, AND THEY REPLACED THE UNDERHOOD ELECTRICAL CENTER, WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY, TIE ROD ENDS, WHEEL SPEED SENSOR....AFTER ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD TO COME UP WITH MONEY TO REPAIR THIS CAR, AND THEY FINALLY AGREED TO HELP ME INTO ANOTHER CAR, BUT MY CAR IS VALUED AT $14,995 AND THEY ONLY WANT TO GIVE ME $9,000 FOR MY CAR WHEN THEY KNOW THAT I OWE $14,300, THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME MUCH HARDSHIP AND I'M TRYING TO SAVE MY CREDIT, THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET SOME HELP, IF YOU COULD PLEASE LEAD ME IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
