Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Lighter when used blows a fuse which affects the door locks, and other componentss. I have to keep replacement fuses at all times. Sometimes the lighter shorts without being used and this occurs. The driver side power window keeps coming off track and has been repaired by pintiac twice and is now in the same condition. I have heard these two problems reported by several Grand Am owners.”
NHTSA complaint #747724, filed 2001-07“There is a wiring short and the interior lights will go off and sometimes the headlights. Usually happens when using turn signal. Also when turning on flashers the ABS light comes on. The right interior turn signal light stays on when lights are on. Also the steering column vinyl covering over the airbag has split down the Pontiac symbol exposing the airbag.”
NHTSA complaint #704331, filed 1999-03“Electrical system seemd to have shorted out. Door locks and headlights malfunctioned. One door will be locked while the rest was locked. Some of wires were burnt out under steering. A relay switch needed to be put on . Starter & alternator have been affected. Dealer was trying to remedy problem.”
NHTSA complaint #878921, filed 2001-01“While driving at 50 MPH, noticed vehicle started to lose power. Also, the automatic locks will lock only with vehicle is put into motion; and when trying to use the switch on the door, it doesn't work. When putting on high high beams they will work, but when cutting the high beam off, the regular lights won't work. It takes along time for the consumer to get the lights to work.”
NHTSA complaint #828987, filed 1998-10“Consumer states the driver side door does not close tight. Consumer feels this is very dangerous if a passenger is present and door comes open while vehicles in motion. Please provide any further information.”
