1992 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

1) UPON STARTING THE CAR, SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH. 2) AS I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND THE CAR JUMPED, THINKING SOMEONE HAD HIT ME, I KEPT DRIVING TO PULL OVER AND NOTICED THAT I HAD NO STEERING. BY THE TIME I HAD STOPPED I WAS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND NARROWLY MISSED SEVERAL CARS. THE MOTOR HAD SEPARATED ROM THE A FRAME. THE MECHANIC SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE MANUFACTURER HAD FORGOTTEN A BOLT AND THE OTHER ONE GOT STRESSED. 3) THE BRAKES FAIL OR ARE SLOW AT STOPPING QUITE OFTEN EVEN WHEN PADS ARE REPLACED. 4) CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR MISSES. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND ALSO HAPPENS WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY.*AK

THIS WAS THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AND I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE SAME THING THAT HAPPEND WITH MY CAR ALSO HAPPEND TO SOMEONE ELSE THAT I KNOW. NO SAFETY DEFECT.

I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH SIGNAL LIGHT NOT WORKING AND THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. *AK

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FAULTY CAUSING CONTINUAL FAILURES OF THE ALTERNATORS, BATTERIES AND IGNITION MODULES WHICH CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. NLM

MY REAR BRAKES....ROTORS/ CALIPERS AND PADS ARE DESTROYED. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED BRAKES 6 MONTHS AGO, AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. *AK

WHILE PLACING VEHICLE IN GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. SAME AS RECALL 91V214000/ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE ORANGE MARKER BEHIND THE WINDOWS IN THE GEAR INDICATOR CAME LOOSE FROM THE LNKAGE. *AK *SLC

REAR BRAKES ARE FAULTY, CONSUMER RECEIVED A BRAKE REPAIR LITIGATION FROM GENERAL MOTORS, HOWEVER IT'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING IN A LOW SPEED ON PARKING LOT OR IN SLOW TRAFFIC ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, BUT NEVER ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED. DEALER COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM.*AK THE CUSTOMER IS CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY SINCE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE FIXED AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES.

BRAKE FAILURE REPLACED CLPRS, FRT BRAKES ROTORS AND REAR BRAKES CLPRS ROTORS AND PADS

THERE HAS BEEN PUFFS OF SMOKE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN INTERMITTENTLY FOR MONTHS, WHEN SUDDENLY THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL FAILED (JUST LIGHTS ONCE). MECHANIC HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. NO REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE! (THEREFORE, NO COST ENTERED.) MECHANIC STATED THAT MOST LIKELY THE OTHER TURN SIGNAL WILL FAIL SOON, AND EVENTUALLY NEITHER WILL WORK EVEN AT THE CURRENT, LIMITED ABILITY. POSSIBILITY OF LOSING ALL POWER TO STEERING COLUMN.
