TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1977 (NA) PONTIAC GRAND PRIX EQUIPPED WITH SIGMA REGENT TIRES, SIZE 235/75R/15 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. MA 10/2 UPDATED 10/20/2017*CN
THE REAR CRADLE BOLTS PULLED THROUGH THE RETAINERS. CAR WAS AT A STOP AT THE TIME. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE CAR LOST IT'S STEERING ABILITY. GOOD THING I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. *TR
DONUT SPARE TIRE RIM FAILED AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A 1/2-INCH DEEP POT HOLE WITHIN 10 FEET OF WHERE I HAD A FLAT WITH THE FULL SIZE TIRE. RIM WAS BENT BEYOND REPAIR. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD THE SPARE TIRE ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE DAMAGED CAR. IF AUTO MAKERS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY WHY DO THEY GIVE YOU A TINY SPARE TIRE AND TINY JACK THAT BARELY HOLDS THE CAR UP? THE RIM COLLAPSED THE SAME YEAR I BOUGHT THE NEW CAR. SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER I HAD THE JACK SLIDE OUT FROM UNDER MY CAR AND THE CAR FELL ON MY LEG AND I HAVE LASTING BRUISE MARKS FROM THE INJURY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD (SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH) WHEN MY STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT, THE STEERING WHEEL SPUN IN EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT STOPPING W/NO ACTION AT TIRES. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE ONLY REASON I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER BY PRESSING THE BRAKES IS BECAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CRADLE BOLT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS MISSING WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE AND ENTIRE FRONT END TO DROP AND TWIST TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THERE ARE MANY VEHICLE TRAFFIC DEATHS ON THIS ROAD EVERY YEAR AND LUCKILY I WASN'T ANOTHER STATISTIC. MY REASON BEHIND THIS COMPLAINT IS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE NHTSA HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN #00V189000). UPON LEARNING THIS I TOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO THE DEALER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN # IS ONE NUMBER OFF (I.E. PONTIAC ISSUED THE RECALL FOR VINS UP TO MF23 AND MY VIN IS MF24). THIS INFORMATION IS LOCATED ON GM'S DOCUMENT, ID# 792186. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO MY CAR, I LIVE IN MICHIGAN, IT'S A 1991, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE AND I FEEL IT'S ALL ATTRIBUTED TO POOR ENGINEERING ON GM'S BEHALF, THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF SAVING MONEY, MY VEHICLE (ONE NUMBER OFF ON THE VIN), WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL, YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY COMBATIVE WHEN ADDRESSING MY PROBLEM AND NOT VERY CONCERNED, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD OF BEEN ONE OF THEIR WIVES OR DAUGHTERS I CRASHED HEAD ON INTO BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING AND AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT COMPLETELY ADDRESSED IN ALL GRAND PRIXS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED IN 1991 AND REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. *TR

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE REAR CRADLE BOLTS WERE BROKEN. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.
PONTIAC DIRECTED ME TO LOCAL DEALER TO COMPLETE RECALL WORK. LOCAL DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE BASED ON MY VIN. THAT DOES NOT JIVE WITH WHAT PONTIAC TOLD ME.*AK
WHILE TURNING INTO AN ALLEY, THE BOLTS BROKE HOLDING CRADLE UNDER ENGINE. ENGINE DROPPED DOWN AND PULLED OUT STEERING SHAFT. RESULTED IN NO STEERING AND ENGINE ALMOST LAYING ON STREET. WAS A RECALL IN 97 AND 2000, DUE TO CORROSION OF RINGS AND RETAINER. CORROSION BEING LINKED TO SALT ON ROADS. NO WARNING THIS WAS A PROBLEM. MY GRAND PRIX 1991 HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT AND KEPT IN GARAGE. PONTIAC SAID MY CAR ISNT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN NUMBER. TOWED TO PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD PARTS COULD ONLY BE ORDERED THROUGH DEALER. PARTS $1,300. LABOR-TOTAL $1,600 PLUS TAX. TOLD THEM TO FORGET IT UNLESS RECALL WOULD COVER IT, OF COURSE IT WOULDN'T. TOWED TO ANOTHER GARAGE. THEY ARE REPLACING FRONT AND REAR BOLTS AND FIXING PROBLEM IT CAUSED TO THE STEERING. $500 TOTAL. *JB

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUSE BUT ITS NOT, WHEN I LEAVE THE FUSE IN WHEN THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, I REMOVE THE FUSE THE LIGHTS GO OUR.

I AM SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST OWNER TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I HAVE A 1991 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX W/ A 3.4L V-6 AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS W/ THE BRAKE SYSTEM SINCE 1999. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE BRAKES WOULD WORK ONE SECOND AND NOT THE NEXT ( WOULD GET REALLY STIFF AND FIRM, NO ASSIST), SO A COUPLE DAYS LATER IT JUST WENT STIFF FOR GOOD. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE CAR FOR THE BRAKE FUSES AND FOUND THE ABS PUMP FUSE HAD BURNT OUT. I REPLACED AND AS SOON AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IT WENT SOFT FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN STIFF AGAIN. HAD A FRIEND WATCH THE FUSE AND HE SAID AS SOON AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IT BLEW THE FUSE. NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CAN NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE BOOSTER THAT IS FAULTY. THIS IS SUCH A POPULAR ISSUE HER IN WASHINGTON THAT PEOPLE CONSTANTLY KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE CARS IN THE JUNK YARD SO THEY CAN HAVE FIRST CHANCE AT PULLING THE UNITS OUT TO FIX FAULTY ONES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS NO MATTER HOW OLD THE CAR IS! I HAVE OVER $8,000 DOLLARS UNDER THE HOOD TO KEEP IT AND STILL CANT FIX THIS ISSUE. *AK
