Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I just need to know if this part has been recalled or not. I can't find a used door crank shaft because this is a problem for a lot of theses Grand Am”

NHTSA complaint #730950, filed 2000-09

“The right side electrical door lock doesn't work at any time. The door lock originally worked when I got the car, however, tore up a few months later. I did not buy the car new so I didn't know if the manufacturerwas liable, but it is worth checking into. I know of several other Grand Am owners who are experiencing the same problems plus inginition which I have not experience yet. I was just concerned what might happen next that could be more serious than what we are dealing with. I didn't think much about this particular problem until confiring with others dealing with the same problems. …”

NHTSA complaint #728253, filed 2000-08

“Car is white. Paint is peeling off hood of car for no apparent reason. Steel is exposed and starting to rust. The entire car needs repainted because the problem is also happening on other parts of the vehicle. Seems to be a manufacturer's defect. 1993 Pontiac Grand Am”
