While driving the rear passenger window fell down, there were no passengers in the vehicle and the window was not being operated. The window operator had to be replaced at a cost of approx. $300.
Barely used power window motor broken.
1. Right rear window motor failed at 30 months, but 60,233 miles. Window had been raised and lowered less than 25 times. Pontiac agreed to 40% reimbursment. 2. After 60k mi check up, car began shifting very rough. Service engine light came on at 63,266 then off,no problem, again at 66237 in shop now, with two trans diagnotic computer msgs. Will not know cost until problem found. Before dealer did 60k check up was getting 29 mmg on interstate, since check up, getting 23-25mpg on interstates. I believe direct correlation between two, but I know dealer will not agree.
Consumer complained about power window problems. Three of the power windows were replaced just recently. However, the third power window was replaced a second time.
Bonneville with 37,000 miles. Numerous problems worst being upon attempting to make a right turn car keeps going straight then a clunk is heard from the front end of the car and the car finally goes right. This happened more than once. Dealer was also able to get the car to have the same problem. Dealer finds some type of metal lodged in between the links on the rack. Rack is replace under preferred warranty. Car has been in the shop 3 times in the past 14 days for a rear window seal leak, and is currently in the shop for a catalytic converter problem.
L.h rear window regulator cable broke. This is the 2nd cable that has broken on this vehicle. R.h. Rear cable broke in aug. Of 2002. Both cables broke while driving on the interstate allowing window to fall down and becoming inoperative. Cost of repair $400.
Rear door window regulator cable broke.
The drivers side and passenger side power windows were hard to go up and down to a faulty module which cost $400.00 parts and labor. The dealer was notified.
All electric windows broke in the motor parts causing windows to drop to inside of the door leaving them all the way down without any way of getting them back up. All of them happened within months of each other. Another same car owner had 2 break so far.
Fuel door actuator does not latch, latch was repaired but put in backwards. Again, dealer replaced actuator. Consumer wishes for reimbursement or replacement.
Rear glass shattered as vehicle was slowing to make a right hand turn, with no other vehicles or pedestrians in the vicinity.
Rack and pinion steering failed three times due to a klunking sound, with cause unknown, except low pressure in system. Rack and pinion has been replaced twice. *ak consumer states that the steering radius was erratic, when veering to the right at minor curves, the vehicle is hard to steer. The air deflector for the sunroof cracked and was replaced. Consumer states that water leaks in the trunk mounted lens when the trunk is opened. The fuel filler door actuator failed, the driver side window was binding, causing a clunking noise. 2 plastic nut covers were missing from the front wheel.
We have had numerous other problems with this car, including radio, foglamps, passenger window, rear seat belt latches,door rattles,stitching in leather seats coming apart,automatic temperature control,alignment,tires that cannot be balanced,steering sector bearing, tie rod end defective & rough braking. Dealer has fixed all problems, but the warranty is about to expire and now a rear seat belt latch has quit working. I have a national gm claim no. Which was obtained back in january 2002, c06145322. I have asked for an extension of the warranty due to all the problems encurred on this vehicle, but that has been denied. I would have to purchase an extended warranty for over $2,000. We should not have had so many problems with a brand new vehicle. Please respond either by email or letter. Larry neubauer
