1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

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

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

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

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.

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

HEADLIGHT PLASTIC COVERS, ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS, FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, PER DEALERSHIP.*AK

1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX HAS CONTINUED PROBLEMS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. WAS TOLD IT IS THE RACK AND PINION STEERING, NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO TOLD IT IS UNUSUAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND COULD BE A DEFECT. *LA

THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE THAT THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN TO THE OFF POSITION, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. *LA
