2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

AFTER A RAIN, BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE FLOORS ARE SOAKED WITH WATER. THE RAISED PORTION UNDER THE SEAT REMAINS DRY. THE CEILING AREA AROUND THE MOON ROOF IS COMPLETELY DRY. THE CARPETING LEADING DOWN TO THE FLOOR (CONSOLE COVERING, AREA BELOW THE DOORS, AREA UNDER THE DASH) ARE ALL DRY. ONLY THE LOWEST PORTION OF THE FLOOR IS WET, AND IT IS COMPLETELY SOAKED. IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE WATER ENTERS FROM EITHER AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE PLASTIC COWL IS SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS, OR IN THE ROOF-BODY SEAM ON TOP OF THE ROOF WHERE THE FORWARD EDGE OF THE ROOF MEETS THE TOP OF THE DOOR JAM. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER YET, BUT PLAN TO. IN THE MEANTIME, I SHOP-VAC'D THE WATER OUT AS BEST I COULD AND KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE ARE ELECTRICAL CABLES UNDER THE FRONT CARPET AND THEY ARE WET. *TR

WHEN ONSTAR SERVICE IS DISABLED CAUSES THE THROTTLE MODULE TO REDUCE POWER TO THE ENGINE. IT LASTS FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN NORMAL POWER IS RESTORED. *TR

2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A 3.8L SUPERCHARGED V-6 ENGINE. ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE FRONT VALVE COVER CAN CAUSE FIRE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PONTIAC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER 97' TO 03' CARS BECAUSE OF CHANGE IN THE VALVE GASKET ON THE 04'. YET IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD JUST COMPLETED HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND A NEW RADIATOR AT 49,000 MILES AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

POWER WINDOWS GO DOWN BY THEM SHELF'S AND WILL NOT COME BACK UP, / FAILURE IN THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR MECHANISM. *TR

ON JULY 7 2009 I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP. THROUGH OUT THE DAY THE CAR SEEM FINE, I EVEN WASHED IT. I TOOK MY FRIEND HOME AND CAME DIRECTLY RIGHT BACK HOME. A LITTLE WHILE AFTER FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY CALL 91 AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME AND PUT IT OUT. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT2 AND I HAVE HAD A =FEW PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT APPEAR TO BE QUITE COMMON THE PROBLEMS ARE BELOW *GO THROUGH 1QUART OF OIL APPROX EVERY 1000 MILES *TROUBLE STARTING WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WARMED UP. IE AFTER I DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND GO INTO A STORE I COME OUT AND TRY TO START AND IT DIES RIGHT AWAY. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 6 TRIES TO GET IT STARTED. I USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS TO GET IT GOING. *HEADLAMPS BOUNCE *BLOWER MOTOR KEEPS BLOWING EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. AFTER RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE ALL VERY COMMON IN THE 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. I DO NOT THINK ITS RIGHT THAT PONTIAC HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I BOUGHT MY CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I PAID $11,000 FOR A CAR THAT IS BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY AND OBVIOUSLY HAS A BAD MOTOR. I THINK PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO THE GARAGE FOR THE SECOND TIME. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OVER A YEAR AGO. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE TORQUE IN THE BOLTS. THE DEALERSHIP IS ACTING DUMB AND ACTING LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, UNTIL I TOLD THEM THAT THEY FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE GARAGE EVERY YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO CHARGED A FEE FOR THIS RECALL. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS? NOW I WILL NOT HAVE A CAR FOR ATLEAST TWO DAYS BECAUSE OF THIS. GM WAS NO HELP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR. *TR

2004 GRAND PRIX WITH THE PEELING CHROME RIMS. THE ONE IS SO BAD THE TIRE LOSES 10LBS OF AIR A WEEK. A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS, BUT GM DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT ARE NOT REPORTING IT? I WILL MAKE SURE NOT TO BUY ANOTHER GM MODEL FOR MY NEXT VEHICLE. MY CAR ALSO HAS THE SHAKING HEADLIGHTS, BUT SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT, I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AFTER MY CERTIFIED WARRANTY WAS OVER, I WILL NOT BUY THEIR FIX FOR THEIR ERROR. *TR

MY SON PURCHASED THE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX FOR ME TO SAFELY DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK; HOWEVER THE STEERING FAILED YESTERDAY, WITH THE CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN TO THE LEFT; ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY. I SEE FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR GM CAR. THEY SHOULD RECALL THEM OR WE SHOULD CONSIDER A COLLECTIVE CLASS ACTION SUIT SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRITICAL OR FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT THAT HAS THE 3.8 LITER V6 AND I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ON MY CAR. INITIALLY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN, THEY SMELLED A BURNING SMELL WHEN THEY OPENED UP THE HOOD. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 GASKETS AND THEN A WEEK LATER, MY ENGINE BROKE. IT MAY NOT ONLY BE UP TO 2003. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE REAL PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. THE DEALERSHIP/WARRANTY COMPANY REPLACED THE ENGINE WITH A REBUILT ENGINE. HOW DO I FIND OUT IF THIS ENGINE IS ONE OF THE RECALLED ENGINES. IS THERE SOME KIND OF SERIAL NUMBER ON THE ENGINE THAT WILL LET ME KNOW? *TR
