“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“Dealership was charging the consumer $260.00 to repair the windshield wipers because the failure was not caused by the recalled part as indicated in windshield wiper recall 97v017000.”
NHTSA complaint #10080208, filed 2004-08, 95,000 miles“The washer/wiper switch failed on my 95 Pontiac Grand Prix. I made an appointment with moore Pontiac buick to have it repaired. Moore Pontiac buick said they are not obligated to repair the washer/wiper because there is no recall for it. I showed them the report from NHTSA website and they still refused to repair the problem. I then contacted the manufacturer, Pontiac, who replied that there is not a recall for the 95 models. The recall only applies to the 97-98 models.”
NHTSA complaint #729439, filed 2000-08“The contact owns a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated that the windshield wipers stopped working. She was informed by an auto parts store that the necessary part for the repair was incorrect and included in NHTSA campaign id number 97v017000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer:switch/wiring). The contact was informed to purchase the part from the dealer. The dealer stated that her VIN was not included in any recalls and she was unable to obtain the part. On a separate occasion, the rear middle seat belt stopped working. …”
NHTSA complaint #10248570, filed 2008-11, 100,000 miles“The contact stated the windshield wipers work intermittently. The windshield wipers, headlights dimmer switch, and the turn signal are all controlled from the same control arm. In order for the windshield wipers to work all of the above functions have to be performed. Once the windshield wipers start working they only work for a short period of time. There is NHTSA recall # 97v017000 regarding the windshield wiper washer, switch and wiring. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however, it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated o6/05/2006.”
