HEADLIGHTS ON 98 GRAND PRIX GT ARE FOGGING UP AND GETTING MOISTURE INSIDE THE PROTECTIVE COVER AND REDUCING THE LIGHT THE HEADLIGHT IS SENDING OUT. THIS IS MAKING NIGHT TIME DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. NOONE HAS BEEN INJURIED YET AND THE NUMBER OF FAILURES IS DAILY BECAUSE THE LAMPS NEVER CLEAR UP. HAPPENED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE OWNER TO FIX, BECAUSE THIS IS A FAULT CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF PARTS.

1998 GRAND PRIX WITH ABOUT 59000 MILES. POWER STEERING TO THE LEFT SEEMED TO BE CUTTING OUT PERIODICALLY ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE ALL POWER STEERING TO THE LEFT FAILED. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. FINE TURNING TO THE RIGHT, BUT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT, MUST USE A LOT OF MUSCLE. ALSO MAKES A GRINDING OR WHINING NOISE WHEN TURNED ALL THE WAY LEFT. STEERING FAILED ALL OF THE SUDDEN. NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP WITHOUT GETTING HIT. VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER LEFT.*AK

ALL FOUR OF MY WINDOWS HAVE GONE OUT! I HAVE POWER WINDOWS, AND NONE OF THEM WORK.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS WILL COST ME WELL OVER $1500 TO FIX, AND I KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM IF ALL FOUR QUIT WORKING IN THE SAME YEAR!*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION.

APRIL 18, 2003 RECALL 02049 WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR AT GOLDEN PONITAC IN READING, PA - 61,518 MILES. FEBUARY 2004 NOTICED STEERING TO THE LEFT WAS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT. APRIL 2004 I TOOK CAR BACK TO GOLDEN PONTIAC AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE STEERING. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. STEERING CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND I TOOK CAR TO JOHN BAILEY PONTIAC IN BUFORD, GA - 73,135 MILES. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING PUMP, STEERING GEAR AND OUTER TIE RODS - $ 1139.58. I THINK WHEN THE RECALL WAS DONE THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE GEAR ASSEMBLY PER THE RECALL NOTICE. SEE OTHER ODI # 10057963 AND 10083428. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE ABOVE AMOUNT DUE TO THE RECALL NOT BEING PERFORMED IN IT'S ENTIRETY. I HAVE SPENT A TOTAL OF $1606.69 ON THE CAR THIS SUMMER!!!! *JB

(RICK) BOB NEILL PONTIAC, WINSTON-SALEM, NC HAS ADVISED US THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MAY 2004. COMPANY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND AT TIMES WOULD SHIFT HARD AND SUDDEN. TOOK TO TRANS. SHOP, WAS TOLD PONTIAC HAD PUT OUT A BULLETIN STATING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANS. AND WHAT WAS WRONG IF A CERTAIN CODE CAME UP.IT TURNS OUT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PRESSURE SENSORS ON THE TRANS.,AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.THIS ENDED UP COSTING 500.00.

ENGINE FAILED SUDDENLY ON I-55 NEAR CHICAGO AT RUSH HOUR.I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF AND GET THE CAR TOWED 160 MILES TO CHAMPAIGN. WE WERE TOLD OF AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FAILURE BY THE DEALER, WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELPFUL. THE CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED BUT THE DEALER SAID SUCH PROBLEMS "JUST HAPPEN". THIS SUGGESTS A DESIGN FLAW. IF WE HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT AND PROBABLY SEVERAL FATALITIES. A PART THAT CONTROLS SUCH CRITICAL FUNCTIONS SHOULD HAVE A WARNING SIGNAL AND A BACKUP. I CONTACTED GM AND HAD AN EXTENDED EMAIL EXCHANGE BUT THEY WERE QUITE UNRESPONSIVE.

FRONT HEADLIGHT LENSES FELL OUT WITHOUT BEING JARRED OR BUMPED. APPARENT FAILURE OF ADHESIVE HOLDING LENS TO ASSEMBLY BODY.

VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START WITHOUT WARNING ON RAINY NIGHT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS CRACKED FUEL PUMP RESISTOR LOCATED ON FRAME RAIL. PART REPLACED WITH KIT RELOCATING RESISTOR FROM FRAME TO UNDER HOOD. EXTENSIVE LABOR CHARGES INVOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN DIFFERENT DRIVING CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS FAILURE COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE 5 TIMES AND PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. *NM

WHILE DRIVING NORTH BOUND ON US 31 HIGHWAY ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 12, 2004, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WITH SOME EFFORT, I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, IT WOULD START AND SUDDENLY DIE AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST GM DEALER FOR REPAIR. THERE WAS NO EARLY INDICATION OF A MALFUNCTION (IE. NO WARNING LAMPS OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM). ROOT CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FUEL PUMP RESISTOR. SEARCHING THIS WEBSITE REVEALED THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN CONDUCTED FOR A CERTAIN REGION REGARDING THIS MALFUNCTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY FATAL INCIDENT HAD A DIFFERENT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES BEEN IN PLACE.*AK

REAR SEAT BELTS DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY. *AK

1998 GRAND PRIX VIN #[XXX] BUILT 11/3/1997. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS RECORDED ON RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 02V286000. ON LEFT TURNS EXTREME FORCE MUST BE APPLIED TO THE WHEEL TO COMPLETE TURN AND AT TIMES CANNOT TURN AS MUCH AS I SHOULD. IT THEN TAKES EXTREME FORCE TO PULL THE WHEEL BACK TO THE RIGHT. ON THREE OCCASIONS ON THE DAY LISTED BELOW THE WHEEL ACTUALLY STUCK IN THE LEFT TURN POSITION HEADING MY CAR TOWARDS ON COMING TRAFFIC. I FEEL THAT A REVIEW SHOULD BE DONE ON THE PERIOD OF TIME MY CAR WAS ASSEMBLED. IT APPEARS MY CAR WAS ASSEMBLED ONE MONTH AFTER THE PERIOD IDENTIFIED IN NOTICE 02V286000. *AK UPDATED 07/30/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER WINDOW CABLES ARE GETTING IN FRAID OUT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS BEEN REPLACED. I FOUND THE PART COST $328.00 FOR ME TO JUST DO IT MY SELF. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE HOE DRIVE A PONTIAC GRAND PRIX FOR THE YEARS OF 1997-2000 THAT HAVE HAD TO GET IT FIXED. THE SHOP SED IT WOULD BEE ABOUT $200+ IN LABER PLUS PARTS. I FOUND ON ANTHER WEBSIT MORE PEOPLE THAT HAVE PONTIAC CARS THAT ARE BIG LIKE BONT. GRAND PRIX GTP. AND THE GRAND AM. ALL HAVE THE SAME THING GOING WRONG WITH THE POWER WINDOWS. ALL THE PEOPLE TELL ME THE MOTOR IS STILL GOOD IT IS JUT THE CABLES AND THE KEEPER THAT HOLD THE CABLES IN PLACE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION THAT I HAVE HAD TO PUT INTO MY WIFE'S 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE FIRST ONE DIED AT 3600 MILES AND GM INSTALLED THAT ONE UNDER WARRANTY. NOW WITH JUST 57,700 MILES ON THE CAR I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS TECHNICALLY OUT OF ITS 5 YEAR/50,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE CAR IS IN NO WAY ABUSED AND I RELIGIOUSLY CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY 20,000 TO 25,000 MILES. I AM AN ENGINEER AND I KNOW WHAT QUALITY IS. FROM MY SEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND IT APPEARS THAT GM IS COPING OUT ON ITS RESPONSIBILITIES TO ITS CUSTOMERS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1969 PONTIAC LEMANS AND WITH 220,000 MILES ON IT I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION (THAT'S QUALITY). IT'S TIME THAT GM OWNS UP TO THIS APPARENT DESIGN DEFICIENCY AND REIMBURSE GRAND PRIX OWNERS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CAN ASSURE GM THAT THIS IS THE LAST AMERICAN CAR THAT I EVER BUY AND THE SAME GOES FOR MY CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN!!!! *AK

RECALL 02V286000 REPAIRS CONCERNING POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY WERE PERFORMED. CONSUMER STILL HAD DIFFICULTY STEERING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE. DEALER WOULD CHARGE CONSUMER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DETERMINED BECAUSE CONSUMER REFUSED TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM RELATED TO RECALL REPAIRS. *AK

MY 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE STARTED ON FIRE AND MELTED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO THE GROUND. *AK

BOTH HEADLIGHT LENSES FELL OFF IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. ALSO THE COOLING SYSTEM FAILS TO KEEP THE CAR COOL IN MODERATE WEATHER.*AK

WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE ROCK AND PINION. *AK

THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GRAB WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

WITHIN SECONDS OF PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT OF FIRE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED IT WAS DUE TO A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *JB

THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE AND MIXED WITH OIL BECAUSE OF POOR UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD. (3.8L V6)

I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES WITH ME. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. PROBLEMS: OVER THE 4 YEARS THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL FROM A STOP POSITION USUALLY WHEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OUR WHEN MAKING A TURN FROM A BLVD. IN ALL CASES I'M IN A PANIC SITUATION TO RE-START THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER AND THEY CANT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT CHARGED BE $80 FOR THE DIAGNOSES. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.. I FEEL VERY SERIOUS. HEADLIGHT CAPSULES FELL OFF, LEFT SIDE NOVEMBER 2001 AND JUST NOW THE RIGHT SIDE JUNE 2003. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ITEM. POWERWINDOW (LEFT REAR) MOTOR HAD TO BE REPALCED AND THE RIGHT REAR GOES ON AND OFF AT TIMES. WINDSHEILD SEAL LEAKS AND WATER RUNS INTO THE OVERHEAD LIGHT COUNSEL AND OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT, I'M ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE WEATHER GUARD IS BAD AROUND THE PASSAGER FRONT LEFT DOOR. DASH LIGHT FOR THE PERFORMANCE SHIFT DOESNT WORK, BUT DEALER INDICATES THAT THE SHIFT BOTTON WORKS. I HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS AND HAVE USED THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALER FOR ALL OF MY SERVICE NEEDS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I'M INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING MY MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE FOR MY 1998 GP IS 47,000.

STEERING RACK SLIPPED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER ASSIST WHEN TAKING LEFT TURNS. RACK WAS REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON SOME 1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIXS BUT EVIDENTLY THEY DIDN'T CHECK FAR ENOUGH SO AS TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL.THUS I WAS TOLD I AM NOT GOING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT LENS COVER FELL OFF AND WAS NOT RECOVERED. JUST AFTER I REPLACED THIS ONE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FELL OFF. (THE LIGHT BULBS EXPLOSED AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER)

SERVICE ENGINE PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING. ALMOST EVERY EXHAUST-RELATED COMPONENT WAS REPLACED BEFORE A NEW COMPUTER CUT DOWN ON THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAD AN EPISODE OR TWO AFTER THAT INSTALLATION, BUT HAVE HAD NO EPISODES IN TWO YEARS NOW. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT I KNEW ABOUT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THAT ONE AND IT WAS FIXED FOR FREE. DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BUTTON DIED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, BUT IT WAS REPLACED FREE UNDER WARRANTY. MORE RECENTLY TWO WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM. I AM LIVING WITH MY POWER WINDOW PROBLEMS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY TO HAVE TWO MOTORS REPLACED. NO WINTER PROBLEMS IN THE WINTER. MOST RECENTLY MY LENS COVER ON THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT FELL OFF. IT COST ME OVER $100 FOR AN AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT AND HOME INSTALLATION, BUT GM WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $250 PLUS LABOR.

IN MAY, THE PASSENGER REAR COIL SPRING BROKE FOR NO APPANT REASON. IT LODGED INTO THE TIRE AND RUINED IT. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE IT WAS REARENDED IN JANUARY 2003. NOW THE REAR DRIVER COIL SPRING HAS BROKEN. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF COIL SPRINGS JUST BREAKING FOR NO REASON. IS THERE A RECALL THAT I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT?

BACK IN MAY OF 2003 I NOTICED WATER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR IN THE WELL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A LEAK IN THE WINSHIELD BECAUSE I HAD ANOTHER CAR THAT HAD A LEAK AND IT WAS THE WINSHIELD. THE AUTOGLASS DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE VENT SYSTEM AND NOT THE WINSHIELD. SINCE THEN, THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS JUST STOPPED WORKING. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS WORTH THE COST OF FIXING, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE?

WHEN TURNING LEFT THE POWER STEERING STOPS FUNCTIONING AND TURNING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. THIS HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT ALSO HAS OCCURED AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS CONDITION APPEARED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO AND HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN.*AK

STEERING PULLED TO THE RIGHT CAUSING VEHICLE TO LEAVE ROAD, CRASH INTO TREE, AND BURST INTO FLAMES.

CAR DIED WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. WHEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART, WOULD START, BUT THEN WHEN ACCELERATE, CAR WOULD DIE.*AK

THE RUBBER SEAL BECAME LOOSE AROUND THE WINDSHIELD, FLAPPING WHILE DRIVING.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING CONSUMER NOTICED HEADLIGHTS FELL OFF, RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED TWICE. *AK

THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE HAS COME LOOSE. THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE FRONT ONLY WORKS OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ON MY CAR TWICE (ONE ACTUALLY FELL OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING) AND THE CONDENSATION/MOISTURE IS HORRIBLE INSIDE THE HEADLAMPS MAKING FOR POOR VISIBILITY.

POWER WINDOW MOTORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE BROKE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN RECURRING PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THE REGULATORS. PONTIAC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DEFECT.*AK

IGNITION KEY OCCASIONALLY (SOMETIMES FOR FEW MINUTES,SOMETIMES FOR DAYS) GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION LOCK IN A SLIGHTLY TURNED POSITION. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2002. ONE REPAIR SHOP SUGGESTED THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTER - BRAKE PEDAL - IGNITION LOCK, BUT DECIDED NOT TO TOUCH IT. *LA
