2001 Pontiac Grand AM Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Between march 2007 and november 2007 the regulators on all 4 electric windows have had to be replaced. The car had approximately 30,000 miles on it when the first window failed and currently has 42,000 miles. I have never had to replace a regulator in any other vehicle I have owned and these are vehicles I have owned as brand new vehicles with up to 150,000 miles on them before they were sold.”

“3 window regulator are broken on driver side, and passenger. The rear window defroster only defrost half the window, interior lights do not go off when the switch is on auto, engine overheats, turn signals do not work, the engine is hard to start . I have not fixed the windows but I been to the dealership for the overheating and I was told there was no problems. I had to replace the fuel pump because the car would not start. These issues began over a year ago.”

“I was rolling down my driver's side window when I heard a pop and the window glass fell. It shattered and I received several cuts. A week later I was rolling up the passenger rear window ( a window that I rarely use) when I heard another pop and the window refused to go up or down. I was told that the window regulator also broke in that window. Now I have 2 windows in my car that cannot be used. I replaced the window glass, but am unable to replace due to the $330 cost of each for a total of $660.”

“The A/C- heater speed control selection 1 and 2 stopped working in 2002 shortly after I purchased my vehicle. On april 10,2006, the selections 3 and 4 are also not working. This is now the 9th probolem I've had with my vehicle. To include both power window brackets breaking, my hazard flasher, transmission, steering, and A/C. I've unknowingly had jackson auto group of hawaii do repairs without so much as a word about the recalls. What proactive steps have been taken to notify the dealers about the recalls and defects?”

“Where to start...I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. Within 2 months of buying it, my fuel pump & computer went out at the same time. Next was my water pump & timing chain. Then was the security system, then the turn signals, then the windows wouldn't roll down. And now my brakes are having to be replaced on a consistent basis. The only thing covered by GM was the turn signal switch. All other replacements were at my expense. After researching on this site, I see numerous complaints of the same kind. I notified GM and they refused to help at all. …”
