PONTIAC Safety Record

PONTIAC has 1,019 recall campaigns and 39,118 consumer complaints in the NHTSA database, covering 42 distinct models. Each recall represents a safety defect identified by the manufacturer or NHTSA that requires a free repair, replacement, or refund for affected vehicle owners.

Consumer complaints are reports filed directly by vehicle owners who experienced a safety-related problem. These reports include details about the defect, whether it caused a crash or fire, and any resulting injuries. A high complaint count does not necessarily indicate poor quality, popular vehicles with high sales volumes naturally accumulate more reports.

Select any model above to see its complete safety history, including recall details, complaint statistics, crash test ratings, fuel economy data, and Technical Service Bulletins from the manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if my PONTIAC has an open recall?

Select your model above, then choose your model year. The vehicle page will show all recalls that apply to your specific vehicle. For the most current information, you can also use our VIN Decoder to check your exact vehicle against NHTSA's live recall database, this is the most accurate method because it checks by VIN rather than by make/model/year.

What should I do if my vehicle has an open recall?

Contact your nearest authorized PONTIAC dealer to schedule a free repair. By federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no cost to you, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage. If the recall says "Do Not Drive" or "Park Outside," follow those instructions immediately and contact the dealer for towing arrangements.
