1993 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

CONTINOUS PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE, VEHICLE TOWED SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER VEHICLE IS STILL NOT DEPENDABLE, VEHICLE CHECK GAUGE LIGHT ILLUMINATES NOW, POSSIBLY RELATED TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. CJ

VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES, WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH, DRIVER AND PASSENGER BOTH INJURIED. *CJ

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM PONTIAC OR SONEONE A YEAR AGO ABOUT SOME BRAKE PROBLEMS ANT THAT PONTIAC WOULD PAY FOR ANY REPAIR. MY AUTO MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR CALIPERS WERE FROZE AND IT WOULD COST $400-500 TO REPAIR THE CAR. HE SEEMS TO THINK THAT THE BRAKE PROBLEN WAS THE ONE PONTIAC WAS PAYING FOR. COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS THANKS-TIM ISBELL. *AK

ALL REAR BRAKES PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE(CALIPERS-4TIMES AND PADS-5 OR MORE IN LAST YEAR) AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT HEATING UP AND EVEN CATCHING FIRE IF NOT NOTICED IMMEDIATELY, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME DRIVEN BUT MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE AFTER SMOKE AND SHORTED OUT P/LOCKS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, BLINKERS

FAILURE OF EITHER THE BATTERY OR/AND ALTERNATOR AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I HAVE OWENED CAR SINCE NEW.

BRAKES WERE REPLACED FOUR TIMES BY THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. WHEN CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL, STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE AND BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. *AK FRONT REAR BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, CALIPER, SHOES AND DRUM REPLACED. RIGHT REAR LUG NUT AND STUD REPLACED TOO. *YH

WHEN DRIVING AND UPON DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED VEHICLE KNOWING IT HAD A BRAKE PROBLEM AND HAGGLED ON THE PRICE IN ORDER TO REPAIR AFTERWARD. AFTER REPLACING FRONT BRAKE PADS, THE PROBLEM PRESISTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WITH NO PROBEM FOUND. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEIR MECHANICS FOUND NO PROBLEM. I INVESTED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS TRYING TO SOLVE PROBLEM. ME AND MY WIFE MUST USE A LOT CAUTION WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN HEARD A CLUNKING SOUND, AND COULD NO LONGER STEER THE VEHICLE. THEN STOPPED, LOOKED UNDERNEATH, AND THE ENGINE WAS ON THE GROUND. TOWED TO THE DEALER. *AK *ML
