Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Just coming home from work on a friday, pulled into a gas station to filler up. And noticed key was stuck in ignition having all power still running through car. Got it home and did some research and come to find out there's a solenoid in the steering column that attaches to two wires leading out to computer. Any others out there experiencing third problem maybe we can get enough defects for these corporate guys to give us a product that's going last without some computer bs emptying our pockets for such little (use to be ) simple fixes.”

NHTSA complaint #10070472, filed 2004-01, 38,356 miles“Lower intake manifold leaking coolant into engine, safety hazard, inevitable emissions failure. Many recalls regarding Pontiac Grand Prix with the issue”
NHTSA complaint #11266019, filed 2019-10, 132,000 miles“Car intermittently stalls from slow speeds (<30 MPH) or after starting from a complete stop. Complete and almost immediate loss of motor and power steering making it difficult, if not impossible, to steer. Will sometimes not stay running right after starting. Might take two or three attempts to get vehicle to start. Crank sensor replaced, mass airflow sensor cleaned. No codes or check engine light so no good way to troubleshoot. This is extremely dangerous as it can stall at any time without warning. …”
NHTSA complaint #10730271, filed 2015-06, 188,100 miles“I own a 2002 Grand Prix gtp, the passenger side floor gets flooded everytime there is a heavy rain. I took it into the dealership and it was replaced under warranty, it was the front cowl seal. The seal has failed once again, but this time its not under warranty, I did some research and it seems that I am not the only one with this problem.”
