PONTIAC Complaints

ON 9/28/2020 POWER STEERING COMPUTER LIGHT CAME ON CAR WOULD NOT STEER AT ALL. FELT LIKE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOCKED UP.BACKED CAR BACK TO FRONT OF HOUSE. WHEN THIS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS ONLY MOVED A HALF OF CITY BLOCK.

4 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY GRAND AM 2000 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT, ANY WAY RECENTLY I HAD TO REPLACE THE SWITCH IGNITION BECAUSE THE KEY GOT STUCK AND COULDNT GET OIT OUT. THEN JUST LAST WEEK THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND IT WAS THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH I PAID $380.00 OUT OF NY POCKET AND I WANT A REFUND BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL 140350 FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH

I PURCHASED MY 1988 PONTIAC FIREBIRD IN 2016. THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THAT WAS ISSUED JUNE 1, 1990. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER N900043. I'VE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS OUTSTANDING RECALL AND I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY AVAILABLE PARTS TO CORRECT THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER. MY SEAT BELT STRAPS HAVE DIFFICULTY RETRACTING.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME .

OIL LEAKING ,TRACTION CONTROL KEEPS SHUTTING ON AND OFF,EVAC LEAK,IN MOTION,SMOKE AND OIL STAINS COMING FROM CAR. SCANNER READS MISFIRE NEEDS PLUGS AND WIRES BUT JUST GOT PLUGS AND WIRES.

THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT HAS FAILED WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT STARTED OUT AS A 'CLUNK' WHEN ACCELERATING THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND EVENTUALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BIND UP WHEN TURNING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN WITH A 2007 SATURN ION, AND MY COWORKER HAD IT HAPPEN WITH A 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU. BOTH HAVE THE SAME STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM.
