2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

WHEN THE WIPERS WERE TURNED OFF THE BLADES WOULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NM

SUSPENSION - WHEEL BEARING FAILURE - REPLACED WHEEL HUB TRANSMISSION - CAR TRYING TO GO INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE AT SAME TIME. GEAR IN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. REPLACED TRANSMISSION PAINT - SEVERAL AREAS ON CAR PAINT COMING OFF AND RUSTING. WET SANDED SOME AREAS AND BRUSH TOUCHED UP LEAVING GLOBS OF PAINT IN THESE AREAS. EFFORTS TO REMOVE ETCHING RESIDUE ON TRUNK RESULTED IN DEALER PAINT DEPT. SCRATCHING TRUNK AND SPOILER. I NOTIFIED MANAGER. ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE SCRATCHES WERE UNSUCCESSFUL CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH SCRATCHES. PAINT ON HOOD COMING OFF AND RUST STARTING. WERE SUPPOSED TO REPAIR BUT FAILED TO DO SO. INFORMED PAINT MANAGER I WAS DISSATISFIED BUT HIS HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE OF USED CAR MANAGER. I INFORMED THEM I WOULD BE CONTACTING GM. THE REPLY WAS DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO. DEALERSHIP IS TWIN CITY IN PORT ARTHUR, TX

THE ROTORS WARPED......FRONT & BACK....THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THEM AND TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT THEY ARE COVERED FOR ONLY 14000 MILES...AND THAT IT'S JUST THE WAY THEY ARE MADE ANYMORE (CHEAP)...AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT..I READ A LOT OF LETTERS ON THE SAME PROBLEM FOR 2002 GRAND AM'S...AND OTHER GM & CHRYSLER CARS & VANS..... I WENT THRU THE SAME THING WITH MY 1995 DODGE INTREPID....35000 MILES ON IT & THE ROTORS WERE TURNED ONCE & REPLACED 3 TIMES AT MY EXPENSE... WHAT IS GOING ON ?....DO WE HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY DID NOT WORK. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. DEALER DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

CAR RIDE ROUGH. LOWER ARM BUSHING GO BAD. PONTIAC DEALER TRIED TO PUSH OFF PROBLEM ON TIRES. CHEVY DEALER (GM) FOUND PROBLEM. REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. THREE MONTH TO FIND PROBLEM PONTIAC DEALER HAD CAR TWICE. *LA

HEADLIGHT AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH INTERMITTENTLY, APPROXIMATLEY EVERY 2 SECONDS. HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE BY AW GOLDEN PONTIAC IN READING PA AND WAS TOLD MY CAR "WAS KNOWN TO DO THAT, AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED." ALSO, I CAN LEAVE IT THERE "FOR THE MECHANIC TO DRIVE IT HOME AT NIGHT, SO HE CAN SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT." MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVERYTIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT, MAYBE EVERY OTHER NIGHT, BUT IT IS NO-STOP WHEN IT STARTS. DRIVERS IN FRONT OF ME HIT THEIR BRAKES, BECAUSE THEY THINK I'M FLASHING THEM. I CAN SEE THIS CAUSING A PROBLEM IF I HAVE TO DEAL WITH A PERSON HAVING ROAD RAGE.*AK

THE HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF AS IF THEY WERE BEING TURNED ON AND OFF. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A WEIRD NOISE AND IT FELT LIKE THE REAR BRAKE WERE PULLING. THE CONSUMER TOOK TO THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER. *JB

WHILE PARKING IN A PARKING SPACE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE, COLLIDED AND SUBMERGED COMPLETELY INTO A POND. DRIVER WAS RESCUED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.*AK

DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED OPERATING. DEALER WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT INFORM THE CONSUMER OF THE PARTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK
