What owners say
Lighter when used blows a fuse which affects the door locks, and other componentss. I have to keep replacement fuses at all times. Sometimes the lighter shorts without being used and this occurs. The driver side power window keeps coming off track and has been repaired by pintiac twice and is now in the same condition. I have heard these two problems reported by several grand am owners.
Electrical system seemd to have shorted out. Door locks and headlights malfunctioned. One door will be locked while the rest was locked. Some of wires were burnt out under steering. A relay switch needed to be put on . Starter & alternator have been affected. Dealer was trying to remedy problem.
Vehicle experiences a squeaking noise coming from the steering wheel, indicating a failure in the power steering which may cause a crash. Also, problems with passenger's door latch which won't open from the inside/high beam in the headlights is inoperative/struts malfunctioned too early, and when applying gas pedal, vehicle hesitates which may cause a crash. Dealer cannot determine the problem. Please provide further information.
Owner states s that he has problems with the driver's side door lock, the door locks and that he cannot exit vehicle. Owner is very concerned about this problem.owner further notes that vehicle is currently at the dealer getting repaired.
Brake failure, also replaced loose motor mounts/power door locks/steering column/passenger's seat reclined backwards.
