What 1992 Pontiac Grand Am owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving, my radio, clock, cruise control, and windshield wipers stop working. This would usually happen when I would use the turn signals. At first I thought it was a fuse, but later realized if I jiggled the key in the ingnition, these things would start working again. The ignition seems to have a lot of play, as if it needs to be tightened. I can almost turn the ignition all the way around without touching the key.

Both driver's side and passenger side window motors continue to fail at increasing rate. I have replaced them both 4 times. I was told that it could be due to failure of the regulators, causing the motor to burn up. When this happens, windows are completely inoperable. Problem is expensive to repair, and continually pulling interior door panel off is causing excessive wear on the fasteners. During the first failure, it was under warranty. Second failure, I paid half. Third and fourth I paid full cost. There must be more people out there experiencing this problem. I bought the car in tampa, florida, but all service is done at moore buick. They may have my last name as deberry-my maiden name. Thank you sergeant alicia r. Bosshart usmc.
Multiple problems encountered: (1) cigarette lighter fuse blows constantly. (2) engine has a cracked cylinder which allows coolant into the oil system. (3) starter coil failed. (4) window motor/switch failed. (5) front passenger seat doesn't always lock in place, and allows the seat to slide forward and backward. (6) in cold weather the plastic around the horn contracts and causes the horn to sound continuously until the fuse is removed. (7) front brakes wear quickly during normal operation. (8) alternator failed at 90,000 miles. (9) oil pressure sensor failed at 107,000 miles. (10) spark plugs need to be replaced every 18 months due to a recurring stumbling problem in the engine. One spark plug cannot be removed. (11) the glove compartment has been filled with condensate from the A/C system multiple times, ruining any paperwork and the owners' manual. (12) the screws on both interior door frames have fallen out and must be replaced.
Front floors stay wet - had heating core replaced - bolts tightened - very frustrating - cannot use floorboards; have to warn passengers not to let clothes touch floor - will get wet -
Pontiac prides itself on driving excitement, it should actually be that it is a driving nightmare. This car has had so many problems. This is the list of current and past problems which includes: the trunk leaks/ incorrect speedometer that caused two speeding tickets/driver's floor and under the front right seat are always wet. Also,replaced battery twice/alternator/starter/ radiator and all hoses after a sudden "explosion." in addition, thermostat had been replaced at least 4 times and mass air flow sensor once. The rear window defogger no longer works, right side power window does not go back up/the tape deck is broken, front lumbar I seat broke around 40,000 miles. The front right and left wheel bearings has been replaced 3 times/tie rods have been replaced once on the right and twice on the left/ anti-lock braking system malfunctioned and front brakes wore out with in 15,000 (typical of most pontiacs just going by the comments of other pontiac owners that I know. This list is quite long and extremely disappointing, especially since the car is not paid for yet and only has 125,000 miles on it and is a 1992 model. *ak( dot number: tire size: 205/55/r16 )
Anti lock brakes failed.
Electrical problem, causing vehicle to stall.
