My problem started summer of 2008,I was driving on highway12 traveling 55mph. I felt as if my car was lifting itself off the ground several mins later I heard a loud boom. And was slightly blinded by the sunlight. I thought I was hit by another car. But it was my sunroof that came off. It has been well over a year I still have not been able to have sunroof repaired. Most repair shops refer me to the pontiac dealer as they have never heard of a sunroof coming off unless defected. I called the pontiac dealer in stockton, ca twice each time I was told sunroofs fly off all the time, I could take it to any repair shop of my choice or see if insurance will cover repairs. I asked what shops they used or recommend each time agents could not recall anything. I called my insurance they too have never heard of this, since not from an accident or natural disaster I would be responsible for cost of repairs. I have two small children who I transport in vehicle driving without a sunroof was very stressful and not safe for the health of my children nor myself. After the run around, trying to tape down exposed area to no avail, lost of hearing. I decided to go to taps, there, they were able to cut a piece of hard plastic to cover temporarily. I feel as a consumer I have been given the run around and I 'm at a lost for where I can take my car locally to have sunroof repaired permanently. My second issue is with my ignition locks up on me and will not let me drive.a security light that is lit up as well, as I do not have a security system, I called dealer I was told it may have to do with my key remote, I stated I don't have key, I was then told it may be I copied keys and the copy is not being read by car. I informed them I use the original key for car I was given when I purchased car. The dealer did not know why and referred me to have car checked. I had maintenance done, each shop could not find anything out of the ordinary for the problem. I'm disappointed and frustrated.

The power window regulators in my 2 door 2000 pontiac grand am. Continue to fail. I have replaced four of the regulators since I have bought the car in 2003. These window regulators cost $112.00 every time they fail. Depending on how and when, these window regulators fail there is a possibility of the glass falling into the door and breaking the glass. When the first one failed, I had to replace the window glass, in return made an additional cost of $120.00. I have spoken with other local owners and they all have had the same troubles with these window regulators. I feel that this issue should be addressed and solved with a redesign of the window regulator system at the cost of general motors.

Power windows fail to function. The front and rear drivers-side windows made a popping noise and now will not roll up. The front passenger window will not roll down at all. When the first window stopped working I was told that they would have to replace the entire motor system which I could not afford. No window parts have been fixed or replaced.
