“All of the paint on the trim molding has come off. After repeated attempts to talk to the manufacturer and told basically to get lost I gave up and haven't purchased another Pontiac since. Of course, our family has made three new car purchases since then but none of them Pontiac.”
NHTSA complaint #10070487, filed 2004-01, 85,000 miles“I purchased this car with low mileage and have cared for it exceptionally well and I have had two major equipment failures. These should not occur at such relatively low mileage totals. I understand some models of pontiacs have had recalls for the brake system, but I was told this model does not have a recall for that equipment. I will defintely consider another model of car other than this one within the next year because of my frustration.”
NHTSA complaint #755932, filed 2001-12“The problem with the ABS: usually occurs within the first mile driven after start up. When the brake is applied, the pedal goes way soft and car lurches forward. A mechanical sound is heard and the ABS light then comes on. I am unsure if the ABS works or not after that, but the light is on. I have not taken it to the dealer as I can not afford to have it looked at at this time. This happens regardless of road conditions (wet, dry, ice, etc.) the cruise control problem has rendered it useless. It will hold a speed, but will not accelerate when switch is depressed. …”
NHTSA complaint #744158, filed 2001-04“Vehicle would make a squealing sound when brakes were applied. Vehicle wouldn't pass inspection in state of ny. Rotors/calipers and pads were replaced to bring up to state standards. Consumer has put out over a $1000 repairing brake system. Dealer stated that emergency brakes had to be done once a week to keep it from messing up back brakes. If not it, wears the brakes out.”
NHTSA complaint #891541, filed 2001-06“Cassette player failed to work. Error 13 reported on display. No way to reset, and will no longer play tapes. Also, fuse cover falls off when opening the passenger's side door. In adddition, transmission would not shift out of second gear/ ABS brake failure and cruise control cable fell off its housing, resulting in cruise control failure.”
