The window sash channels have broken on my 2002 pontiac grand am. This is the component that holds the window glass in place. The car barely has passed 50,000 miles and the windows will no longer stay up. The pontiac dealer will repair the piece for $150 each window.
I have a 2-door model grand am and the window support clips on both side windows have broken within a month. The windows will not stay up as a result and the dealer has quoted $400 per window to correct the problem. The entire glass has to be replaced to fix the clip.
1: closing window; 2:passenger window fell out of track 3: pontiac dealer will not fix, driver side window fell on monday 10-25-04.
While driving 55 MPH and proceeding to operate the automatic window in the down position on the driver side, it stopped operating. Two days later the same issue occurred on the passenger side window. The consumer obtained the replacement parts from the dealer and had her son make the repairs. Please provide any further information.
Consumer complained about multiple problems with this vehicle. While driving vehicle stalled on its own. Consumer tried to restart vehicle, but was unable to do so. Then, fifteen minutes later the vehicle started. Driver's and passenger side electrical windows rolled up and down on their own. Also, transmission failed while shifting. Consumer contacted dealer for an appointment for these problems.
Power windows keep braking. 8 times for drivers side, 1 time on passenger side. Sash asm. That fastens to the window for motion keeps braking. A total of 9 repairs in 18 months.
Driver and passenger windows rubbing? (scratched) windows really scratched ever since I bought it and noticed alot of other cars like mine have the same scratches from opening and closing the automatic windows I spoke to a dealer rep before and they said it was the tinting they used that was too tight? But when my car was brand new and I started to roll up/down my windows it made the scratches, so I decided to hide the scratches by tinting my windows so you couldnt see it as much, but it really is visible. From me speaking with other grand am owners that I see that their windows look exactly like mine most of them don;t have tinting. And they look as bad as mine.
2002 pontiac grandam gt-1 has continuous grinding, rubbing, and popping sounds from the front steering. Also has uncontroled power steering where the car could go off the road. Dealerships can or will not try to find these serious defects, they say that it is the tires that is causing these defects.this is the second new gt-1 within the past three years with the same defects that I have owned.
Consumer stated that the windows are very difficult to roll up. Vehicle has been taken to the dealer, and work has been done to alleviate the problem, but of no avail. Manufacturer has been notified of the problem as well.
I purchased a brand new pontiac grand am gt1 in july 2002. Shortly after, I noticed that it was hard starting. Usually the third time started in one day, it would sound like it was turning over but nothing happened. I would shut it off and try again and it would work. Took it to the dealer where I purchased it, they kept it for 4 hours while I waited. Told me nothing was found. Immediately went to my car to start it and it did the same thing. Went back in, told the mechanic it just happened. They checked it again and came up with nothing. No repairs done. The fog lamps stay on when the car is off. At least once a week my neighbor calls me to tell me my lights are on. I have to start the car and toggle the switch until they go out. A few hours later they are back on and the switch is in the off position. When closing the windows, there is a scratching sound. Both windows in the rear are scratched. The car is clean and was checked by another mechanic who found nothing inside the door that would cause the scratches. There is also a high pitched sound coming from the front of the car. It sounds like the wheel on the driver's side. It seems to go away when I apply the break but comes back. After it rains, there is a gurgling sound coming from the front passenger's side door. Can't tell if its the speaker or what. Just little things that bother me considering this is a brand new car only owned by me and well taken care of. There are just under 16,000 miles on the car. So far, no repairs done.
I rented a 2003 pontiac grand am on feb. 04, 2003. It was very cold, at night, and snowing heavily. I turned on the rear defogger. It failed to clear the rear window, and I turned it on again after noticing that it had turned off. About 30 seconds later the rear window exploded; there was no projectile found. My wife, who was with me when it happened, and I believe it has to be a factory defect, and we should not be held responsible, yet we are being charged by budget, who was charged by the dealer, for the repair.
April 1, 2002, I bought a new car, a 2002 pontiac grand am gt between 12 pm and 2 pm, about 4 pm I was on the expressway on i55 going northbound, during the thunder storm we had with rain and snow and even some sleet. At that time I had the windshield wipers on "hi" and proceeded very cautiously on the road, at that given time, I had heard a snap and the windshield wipers stopped dead in there tracks in the middle of the windshield, I had to pull over on the shoulder of the expressway to regain control of the car, as the weather was really bad. From there, I took the car back to pontiac to have it serviced, alonzo greene (salesman) informed me that the mechanics had gone home for the day and to come back tomorrow, after disputing with him, a $24,000 car should not have done this, he told me that there was nothing he can do, the next day I went back to pontiac to have the car serviced and was told that nothing was wrong, took the car back home and a couple of days later, yet the same problem happened again. I took the car back to pontiac, the mechanics said there was nothing wrong with and when they contacted general motors, gm stated not to replace any parts on the car, unless there was a recall or there is going to be a recall, no satisfaction from the mechcanics or pontiac, sally from the pontiac corporation had been contacted, she spoke with me and told me that the car was not to leave the lot until the wipers were fixed, she wanted to speak with a mechanic, she spoke with jerry, jerry walked away out of sight with the phone, jerry put me back on the phone with sally , sally told me to take the car, it was fine, I asked her, "what should happen, if god forbid I am in a car accident due to wiper failure and someone is hurt or killed"? And sally said with an attiude "you have insurance and full coverage, you are covered if it does". Bottom line, gm, the service garage, and pontiac refuse to repair the car or to give me a new car, its under warranty. Nlm
