1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

THE LENSE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT JUST FELL OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ONE AFTERNOON. MY HUSBAND FOUND IT IN THE DRIVEWAY AND A FRIEND HAD RAN OVER IT. SO NOW WE HAVE TO SPEND 78.00 AND BUY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY IN ORDER TO GET A LENSE REPLACED BECAUSE THE THING JUST FEEL OFF.

RECALL NUMBER 02V286000 I HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT IS STATED ON THE RECALL. I CALLED PONTIAC AT 188 762 2737 AROUND 12-12-02. THEY SAID THE RECALL SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC YET. I WOOULD HAVE TO WAIT TILL DEALER GOT THE RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THEY WOULD PAY TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED.THAT IT WOULD BE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR BEFORE THE DEALERS GOT THE NOTICE. MY CAR HAS BEEN PARKED SENSE THEN. AM A FRAID TO DRIVE IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.I NEED A LOANER CAR OR MINE FIX. CAN YOU HELP ?

HEADLIGHT FACE FALLS OFF AND THEN I LOOSE THE USE OF THE HEADLIGHT UNTIL IT IS REPLACED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS

THE HEADLIGHT LENS (COVER) CAME OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (THIS WAS DUE TO BAD ADHESIVE) THE LIGHT BULD EXPLODED WHEN IT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE WEATHER. CHECKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THAT ONE IS READY TO FALL OFF ALSO. THIS HAPPENED ON 1/6/2003

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE GEAR SHIFT BROKE. DEALER NOTIFIED, REPAIRED AND 20,000 MILES LATER PROBLEM REOCCURRED. PH

THE 1998 GRAND PRIX GT WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR OVER 24 HOURS , A FIRE STARTED IN THE DASH OF THE CAR

MY SECOND REAR MAIN SEAL LEAKING OIL WITH ONLY 61,000 MILES ON THE CAR. MY FIRST WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AT 34,000 MILES AND 27,000 MILES LATER I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME 1100 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS BEING THE SECOND REPAIR IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. CUSTOMER CARE SAID ALL THEY COULD DO WAS OFFER A DISCOUNT ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS LAUGHABLE. WILL THE REST OF THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD I WILL NEVER TOUCH A GM PRODUCT AGAIN. 3 REPAIRS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY ARE NOW DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN AND NEED REPAIR. TS

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN CAUSING A DISTRACTION. TS THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JG
