CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A STRONG SMELL AT SMOKE. ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVERS WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND HAS SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER ALSO STATED THAT SHE THINKS THAT THERE MUST BE A ELECTRICAL SHORT SOMEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE RADIO ON THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WORK. TS

CONSUMER STATES HE STARTED HIS AUTO, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES AND HEARD A NOISE IN HIS ENGINE. HE DROVE THE AUTO HOME AND CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO TOLD HIM THAT PONTIAC IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS KIND OF MOTOR (3.4 ENGINE). CONSUMER STATES HE CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ALONE, BECAUSE IT COST SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $4000.00. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN THE CONSUMER CAN HEAT A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

MY CAR HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT STARTED TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2000 GRAND AM BRAND NEW. IT STARTED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIKE COMING ON AND GIVING A CODE THAT I WAS RUNNING THE CAR WITH THE FUEL CAP OFF. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THEY REALIZED IT IS AN ERROR. THEN THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING THEIRSELVES. I HAVE HAD 3 STEREOS INSTALLED, ALL HAVING ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS AND NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON RANDOMLY AND NOT GIVING A CODE WHEN HOOKED UP TO READ IT. NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALER SO MANY TIMES. I HAVE NOW HAD THE CAR 2 1/2 YEARS. THE WARRANTY WILL BE OFF SOON AND THEY STILL CANNOT FIX OR EVEN EXPLAIN MY PROBLEMS. TS
