Our braking system on this car failed us, and is probably crushed by now at no fault of my own. My safety was at–risk when the brakes lost pressure and if it wasn’t for our seatbelts, I could’ve been thrown through the windshield. I hereby declare that [XXX] deliberately caused our accident and lied about being blinded. [XXX] lost her son—[XXX]—and was jealous of my opportunity to do what he couldn’t. Her other son—[XXX]—choose not to attend college and contraband drugs among other things. [XXX] and his mother [XXX] were also jealous of me for having an opportunity that [XXX] chose not to take. They blame me for Chastity [XXX] & [XXX] turning their parental rights over to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. How their oldest daughter being raped by her paternal grandmother’s husband has to do me is absurd and childish in my opinion. Murray Police Department was called on October 23, 2014 at 7:23 am in reference to 2 vehicle collisions to inspected and verified by law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. [XXX] and his sister [XXX] their colleagues at Seacrest Rehabilitation—Healthcare Center and [XXX] or [XXX] Consolidated Schools with the latter allegations. Ma and I later went to Dr. [XXX] chiropractic center for evaluation, he can verify her back or knee problems as they related to this incident. [XXX] can verify us suffering from medicalised homelessness, despite state law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania declaring residential leases cannot exceed three years.

Wanted to know if you have a recall for this incidents. I have been to the dealer since 2000 and continue with the same problems. The dash is defected has been replaced twice because it lifts up and can't see the road very well. In puerto rico the dealer royal motors does not sell pontiac any more.

I was backing up slowly out of a parking spot. As I turned me wheel to the right, I heard a very loud noise. It sounded like a pop or a crack. It was midnight so I couldn't see anything wrong when I inspected my vehicle. As I was driving home I heard a loud scraping sound. As I would break it got louder and louder. It was scraping and tearing. I got home and still couldn't see anything. I checked the next day and I noticed that the front drivers side coil was completely cracked. Because of this cracked coil, the protruding piece of metal from the coil was jammed and resting on the tire wall. Because of having to drive the vehicle home, the coil has torn and ripped up my tire wall and I am afraid to drive it. This has happened to me before with a cracked coil on the opposite side of my vehicle on the passenger side. This is craziness and completely unsafe! I fear for my life driving this vehicle as it clearly has a manufacturing defect. I am baffled as to why there is no posted recall for this hazardous product. Pontiac should be ashamed for letting this go and not admitting their failure as a car manufacturer.

Had all window mechanisms replaced after enduring a wonderful garbage bag cover treatment for window beauty enhancement last winter 2007-08. Found my ignition refuses to start w/ 1 key. I started noticing the smell of antifreeze. Took to my mechanic of 22 years. Thought it was a crack in the actual container which houses antifreeze. This was replaced. Nope. Still leaking. Car never indicated on panel that it was above temp & overheated, stayed within the normal range. The car never once overheated. Mechanic couldn't find the problem. Said it was a faulty computer... Indicates, tires need checking, flashing lights, ABS off/on...which by the way was causing me to not have my car pass inspection to add insult to injury!! Found I was all of a sudden replacing antifreeze by the gallons. Was still paying off mechanic from previous issues. Don't ask, while trying to figure out the antifreeze problem! Brought car in to have radiator checked by friends mechanic, fluid was literally pouring out of bottom of car. $1600. Later!! Head gasket set,waterpump,serpentine belt, radiator hoses, thermostat & gaskets, crossoverpipes, airfilter...now? 1 1/2 months later? Well hey.guess what? Riding merrily to work last sat. Car stalled all the way...& yipee another visit, another mere 900. Bag of shells consisting of crank shaft, bearings. Can you believe it? I don't have it!!.....I thought this guy was putting me on...I've lost work since I'm 45 min. Away. I've spoken to pontiac several times. They want nothing to do with this. Act dumb- the american way...weird, I've read more complaints about this issue, I'm surprised you guys don't demand some resolution for consumers. What gives? It's so incredibly obvious this is a real solid complaint about engine defect with all the evidence to back it up!! I think it was minnisota or missouri that consumers actually won a class action suit against pontiac for these specific complaints. Namely head gasket, engine related issues..

Without warning or physical impact/impairment right front coil spring fractured with a loud bang, and the jagged end pierced my tire sidewall, destroying tire. This occurred at approx 25 MPH, I was able to pull over without incident, had to be towed, new coil installed, new tire purchased, labor day plans ruined. Several months later, car was parked for 12 hrs in 70 degree weather, another huge bang, drivers side front coil fractured, c-shaped piece under the vehicle, again, the vehicle was towed, coil replaced, missed a day of work as this happened in connecticut, and I work in massachusetts.

The dashboard on my 1999 pontiac grand am has cracked and is lifting, separating from the windshield. I can no longer drive it, because of poor visibility. I went to the dealer, and the cost to replace is $1300. It is a factoty defect, but general motors will not give me an allowance on repairs, only a voucher to apply towards the purchase of a new car.

Dashboard padding was peeling off near the passenger air bag. Consumer believed this condition may cause the air bag to deploy inadvertently while driving. Dealer was notified. *ak

Body of vehicle, especially hood continues to lose paint in the form of paint chips due to slight collision with flying debris etc when driving under normal conditions. I feel the amount of damage is much more damage than any car should have considering the normalcy of the driving conditions. Also, the body of the car dents very very easily, more than it should I feel under the normal conditions in which I use the vehicle. Both the paint and the body of the car have very low integrity.

When rolling down the two back windows it leaves a scratch down the windows. Both windows have the exact same scratch in the exact same spot and its about a inch wide. My mothers grand am though not a 1999 did the same exact thing. For the "other complaint" : the lining that covers the doors on every door, right by the windows is separating. It should be tucked under into the seam but they are all separating.
