“I have a 200 Pontiac Grand Prix gt on mondy dec 20,2004 I noticed the steering on my car was armstrong power steering so I took to a mechanic and he said the rack and pinion was leaking, and seemed to be the problem I only have 32,000 miles on this and my research found out I'm not the only one with this problem. I was wondering if Pontiac had a recall on this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10104394, filed 2004-12, 32,600 miles“In 2000 and I believe this was not accidental in anyway-I asked for my brother to come to my home in 1999 because of people who would not get out of my home in anaheim-my toyota cressida in 1990 or so had been hit with something in my own driveway without anyone getting the anaheim police or go over to the neighbors on both ends-I had their kids over for dinner numberous times- of the street on wilken way -w these people were practicing tacking houses using people they knew, to get money from your house-they all had my phone number and none of them called to protect our houses.”
NHTSA complaint #10904842, filed 2016-09, 40,000 miles“The power steering was sticking. When I would turn the steering wheel to the left than try to go back to the right it would stick, I had too use more force to get it back to center. I took it to the dealer and they found that the rack and pinion was bad. It cost me $1300.00 to get it fixed and I only have 50,000 miles on this car.”
NHTSA complaint #10050676, filed 2003-12, 50,724 miles“Car started making a cluncking noise. Parked car till social security check came in. Took car to garage where I found out that I need a sway bar, control arm bushing and tie rod (right side). Upon calling for prices, I found out that many cars of this model are having the same problem. I think they got a bad batch of sway bars. Being on disability, the cost are outrageous and the repairs have not been made as of yet, leaving disabled people with no transportation for medical care.”
NHTSA complaint #10164236, filed 2006-08, 100,099 miles“2000 Pontiac grant prix gt bought in august 2000, problems include: 1) 22-july-2002, (36,040 miles), tie rod worn badly, had excessive clearance and needed to be replaced. 2) 30-september-02, (38,697 miles), serpentine belt (I understand general maintenance for this particular problem). 3) 21-oct-2002, (39,181 miles), replaced intake manifold. In the 3 incidents above, I understand changing a serpentine belt when needed, but for my tie rod to be worn and replaced within 2 yrs of owning this vehicle is not a normal maintenance item for a practically brand new car. …”
