2000 Pontiac Grand Prix complaints

VEHICLE HAD A BAD BURNING SMELL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MANIFOLD GASKET. HOWEVER, BURNING SMELL CONTINUED; WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND EXPLODED 3 TIMES. THERE WAS NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE BURNING SMELL PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

THE MOTOR FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW WENT OUT. IT'S BEEN GOING BAD FOR A WHILE AND NOW IT FINALLY QUIT FOR GOOD. AT 3 YEARS OLD I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THIS SO SOON. AND THE FAN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) WILL RUN ON ITS OWN WITHOUT THE CAR EVEN RUNNING, CAN'T GET IT TO STOP UNLESS YOU TAKE THE FUSE OUT. *LA

BRAKE PADS ON 2000 PONTIAC GRAD PRIX, PADS SEPARATED FROM METAL BACKING MAKE CAR STOP POORLY. PADS HAD ONLY 30% WEAR AT THE MOST. I STILL HAVE PARTS. *LA

PROBLEM WITH BOUNCING FRONT END ORIGINALLY. HAD WHEELS BALANCED, DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. THEN HARD TO TURN AS IF POWER STEERING WASN'T WORKING AND ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. FIRST THEY REPLACED A TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM. HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER FOR MORE THAN A WEEK FOR THEM TO GET PARTS TO FIX THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH WATER INSIDE MY HEATER/AC CAUSING AN ACCUMULATION OF WATER AND MALFUNCTIONING OF THE FAN AND CAUSING WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE A SIDE MIRROR MOTOR REPLACED. I FORTUNATELY HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW IN FEB 2000. I ONLY HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT AND THERE SURE HAS BEEN A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING TO IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD WATER LEAKING INTO THE TRUNK WHICH WAS A BAD SEAL AROUND THE RIM OF THE TRUNK AND SPOILER AND A LEAK NEAR MY SUNROOF WHICH WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. *LA

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS WHILE DRIVING. *AK THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD EVERY TIME AND THERE WOULD BE A HARD JERK. (LINE PRESSURE RISE PROBLEM/NEEDED VALVE BODY REPAIRS) *SCC *JB

REAR AND FRONT SIDE POWER WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN OR ROLL UP. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. *AK

MAIN COMPLAINT: GM IS AWARE THAT THEIR GM HYDRA-MATIC 4T65-E TRANSMISSION HAS A DEFECTIVE PART, YET THEY LEAVE IT TO CONSUMERS TO COVER THE COST OF HANDLING THE PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY, MY 2000 GRAND PRIX GT (WITH ONLY 64,000 MILES ON IT) STARTED UPSHIFTING HARD A FEW DAYS AGO FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND I HEAR METALLIC GRINDING NOISES FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND WHILE THE CAR IS STILL WARMING UP. HAVING PERFORMED ALL OF THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE OVER THE YEARS, I AM ANGERED TO LEARN THAT I WILL HAVE TO FORK OVER APPROXIMATELY $600 TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT ON A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR. I'VE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING TO PAY SIGNIFICANTLY MORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR CARS. RECENTLY, GM REPAIRED A COOLANT LEAK AT NO COST TO CONSUMERS BECAUSE IT WAS DEEMED A DEFECT. I HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED "LOW ENGINE COOLANT" WARNINGS FROM MY CAR AND WAS RELIEVED TO RECEIVE THE RECALL LETTER OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. OF COURSE, THAT REPAIR TOOK 15 MINUTES - GM DIDN'T MIND PICKING UP THE COST FOR THAT DEFECT. MY CURRENT PROBLEM WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL HOURS OF TRANSAXLE WORK AND GM HAS CONVENIENTLY STUCK ME WITH THE COST OF THIS WORK. I ALSO WONDER WHY CONSUMERS ARE NOT BEING ALERTED TO THIS PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT NOTICE OR MAY CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE SYMPTOMS THAT I NOTICED UNTIL THE OTHER DAY UNTIL THEY HAVE A CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM AND HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS TO REPAIR THEIR TRANSAXLE. IT SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE TO ME THAT GM ONLY ISSUED THIS I

DELCO AUTO BATTERY LEAKAGE ON 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX . 3 TIMES IN 2 1/2 YEARS. FIRST TIME- 5/29/01. REPLACED BATTERY, DAMAGED HVAC HOSE AND BATTERY BOLT. SECOND TIME-4/11/02.

I HAVE A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS LOST THE 1ST AND 2ND LEVEL FOR THE INTERIOR FAN, AND THE 3RD LEVEL IS NOW LOSING FUNCTION. I KNOW OF OTHER GM CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM: LOSING THE FAN LEVEL BY LEVEL FROM THE LOWEST SPEED UPWARD. THIS IS A PROGRESSING PROBLEM. ARE THERE ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? *LA

2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP HAS 42,000 MILES. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY OF 2000. NO SIGN OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. GOING FROM A STOP LOUD CLANKING NOISE, CAR JERKED 3 OR 4 TIMES. 5 MINUTES LATER AFTER ANOTHER STOP SIGN THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I STOPPED TO A REPAIR STATION, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT MAKES AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE WHILE IDLING. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE CAR FOR A DRIVE AND SAID TO GET IT TO A GM DEALER BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING. I WAS TOLD THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED ON A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. AS I AM LOOKING THROUGH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS COMPLAINT DATA BASE I AM SEEING 9 COMPLAINTS THAT ARE QUITE SIMILAR. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TILL THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS RECALLED? I PAID $27,000.00 FOR MY CAR 3 1/2 YEARS AGO AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT $2,000.00 INTO IT ALREADY. I PURCHASE NEW CARS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF FEELING SECURE KNOWING THAT I TAKE CARE OF MY CARS WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AND WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY MAJOR REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED BY GM REPAIRING MY VEHICLE AT THEIR EXPENSE. *LA

I HAVE A PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT, MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CONTINOUSLY COMES ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID THAT THE WIRES TO THE HARNESS WERE BROKEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE WIRES TO THE HARNESS COULD BE BROKEN BECAUSE IN ORDER TO GET TO THE WIRES YOU MUST TAKE OFF THREE PARTS.THEY ALSO TOLD ME I HAD A LEAK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AT THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE GASKET AND CHARGED ME $270 PLUS $50 FOR PARTS AND PAYED $360 FOR THE LABOR FOR THE WIRES OF THE HARNESS. THE LIGHT TURNED OFF, THEN THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT REAPPEARED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME CODE CAME UP WHEN IT WAS PLACED BACK ON THE COMPUTER (R442), ON THAT DAY THEY SAID THE GAS CAP WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE CHANGED. AT THAT MOMENT THE LIGHT WENT OFF! THEN THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON ONCE AGAIN!!! NOW THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME CODE (R442) THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IF THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PREVIOUS PROBLEMS IF THEY CAN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM. THE WILL NOT HELP ME AND SINCE THESE PROBLEMS OCCURED RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY, THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE WORK THEY THAT DO, EVEN IF THEY JUST PUT THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER. $90 AN HOUR! I'VE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE REPEATEDLY AND SAY THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT WORK WITH ME! THEY ARE ALSO FINDING A TRANSMISSION CODE 1811 THEY SAY THEY DON

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS GOING OUT AT 71,000 MILES. MY GAS MILEAGE IS HORRIBLE AND THIS HAS TO BE REPLACED.*JB

IN COLD WEATHER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GET STUCK IN AN UPRIGHT RESTING POSITION. ALSO THE STEERING RACK AND PINON HAVE FAULTY BEARINGS CAUSING IT TO FEEL LIKE THE POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING WHEN YOU TURN A SHARP LEFT.

I HAD MY WIRING HARNESS CATCH FIRE ON 2-2-03 WITHOUT WARNING. GM INSPECTING AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THEIR REPORT. HOWEVER, AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR FROM REPAIRS ON 2-15-03, I DROVE THE CAR 2-15 AND 2-16 AND TO WORK ON 2-17. UPON RETURNING TO MY CAR TO START IT, IT WOULD START AND THEN DIE IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR MOVED TO THE DEALER. NO WARNINGS, NO PROBLEMS, NO LIGHTS TO TELL ME WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM.

THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.*JB

I HAVE A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE JUST SPENT $726 ON BRAKES AND ROTORS ALL THE WAY AROUND. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE PADS NEEDING REPLACING, BUT WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER.

I OWN A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX, IT SUFFERED A COOLANT LEAK IN THE UPPER MANIFOLD SECTION. AFTER SOME RESEARCH LOCALLY AND FROM PERSONAL FAMILY EXPERIENCE. I BELIEVE SOME PONTIAC V6 SUFFERS FROM EITHER DEFECTIVE GASKETS AND OR FAULTY ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSE A LEAK TO DEVELOP AFTER 2-3 YEARS OF USEAGE WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR PURCHASE AND PONTIAC OFFERING NO SERVICE BULLETINS/RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. OUR FAMILY HAS SUFFERED 4 SUCH FAILURES INCLUDING 2- GRANDPRIX'S (1999 & 2000 MODELS) , GRAND AM (1997), SUNFIRE (1997) AMONG NUMEROUS OTHER FAILURES IN MY GENERAL LOCATION. I WOULD ASK YOUR AGENCY TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND RECKIFY THE SITUATION

A FIRE AROUND THE IGNITION COIL BEGAN IN MY CAR WITH NO WARNING. NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN COMPLETED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. THE FIRE ERRUPTED QUICKLY. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THERE IS SOME ISSUE OR THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME WARNING THAT A PROBLEM WAS PRESENT IF THIS WAS DUE TO "WEAR AND TEAR". IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THIS WOULD BE A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM AS NO PROBLEMS OR INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEMS WERE EXISTENT PRIOR TO THIS FIRE.

2000 PONTIAC GRANT PRIX GT BOUGHT IN AUGUST 2000, PROBLEMS INCLUDE: 1) 22-JULY-2002, (36,040 MILES), TIE ROD WORN BADLY, HAD EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 2) 30-SEPTEMBER-02, (38,697 MILES), SERPENTINE BELT (I UNDERSTAND GENERAL MAINTENANCE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM). 3) 21-OCT-2002, (39,181 MILES), REPLACED INTAKE MANIFOLD. IN THE 3 INCIDENTS ABOVE, I UNDERSTAND CHANGING A SERPENTINE BELT WHEN NEEDED, BUT FOR MY TIE ROD TO BE WORN AND REPLACED WITHIN 2 YRS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A NORMAL MAINTENANCE ITEM FOR A PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW CAR. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BEING REPLACED AROUND THE SAME TIME IS JUST UNHEARD OF. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD'S FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE GM DEALER ARE MADE OF PLASTIC, WHICH THEN I WAS TOLD THAT PLASTIC IS A BETTER "HEAT SINK" THAN METAL IS! I AM AN ENGINEER AND WORK WITH METALS AND PLASTICS ALL THE TIME AND KNOW FOR SURE THAT METAL IS A MUCH BETTER HEAT SINK THAN PLASTIC IS. PLASTIC MELTS WITH HEAT! MY CAR REPEATABLY STALLS AT RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, TURNING CORNERS, AND SOMETIMES JUST STALLS WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP BRINGING MY CAR FOR REPAIRS, IT'S PRACTIALLY BRAND NEW AND I PAY NEARLY $400/MONTH TO HAVE THESE ON GOING PROBLEMS! CURRENTLY MY DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE CALIPER IS BENT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S GOING TO COST ME $500 TO REPLACE 2 CALIPERS (BECAUSE I GUESS ONE JUST CAN'T BE REPLACED WITHOUT REPLACING THE OTHER BACK ONE) . I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, WITH REGULAR CLEANINGS, OIL

DROVE AND PARKED. SMELLED ODOR; I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE CAR NEXT TO MINE. I THEN WENT INSIDE THE BUILDING. TEN MINUTES LATER, SOMEONE SAID A CAR WAS ON FIRE; IT WAS MINE. THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND TOTALED THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, LEFT FRONT TIRE HIT A ROCK AND CRACKED THE RIM BASE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND REPORT ACCIDENT TO THE CAR MANUFACTURER. TS
