To start with I read the complaints and was wondering how many complaints does it take for something to be recalled. The driver side window falls, passenger side window has scratches on it from I am guessing the regulator, the dash is separated from the windshield, the struts, and springs have been replaced, ABS light stays on, the suspension feels like the car is falling apart through every bump in the road, the headlights are fogged up and point down. Side mirror has been replaced and we visited several auto yards to try to find a dash and side mirror and wouldn't you know it all the models of the grand am was missing the passenger side mirror where it had broke off and all of them the dash was separated from the windshield. I am not sure as to what will happen if the dash comes completely off but I don't want to be in the car when it does happen. And I don't want to drive a car that has this many issues and no one is resolving the problems. Now the cv boot has to be replaced. I am so frustrated right now seeing the amount of complaints and only six recalls that is a problem. I am sorry take responsibility for the product you put out. I guess it will take someone getting hurt or killed to resolve the problems and I hope ya'll can sleep good at night knowing all these problems have existed for this long and nothing is being done. Tired of putting money into something that is going to continue with the same issues.

Turn signals work intermittently, sometimes can press hazard button to activate turn signal for a moment. Power windows quit working all together at once with no warning. Headlight adjusters broke off (crumbled into pieces), can no longer adjust headlights which causes a danger with reduced visibility at night partnered with the intermittent turn signals this causes quite the hazard.

I had my ignition lock cylinder tumblers replaced by a lock smith because key kept sticking and now my car does nothing when I go to start it with key. It starts w/ remote start but odometer hand and etc go side to side really fast. My head lights, heater and dash lights don't work. Security light is not on. The key will turn the car off when I use remote starter. Car turned off while driving twice before and after tumbler replacement.

I have been having issues with the electrical systems in my car for the last 1-1/2 years. When I turn on the car the dash lights/headlights/radio/windows and heater/AC usually won't work right away. While I am driving, they will pop on or off depending on the bumps on the road. Six months ago, the "security" light on my dash started to give me trouble. Apparently, the car sometimes thinks that I am not using the correct ignition key and won't start. I now have to budget an extra 10 minutes into my drive time everywhere I go on the chance that the car's security system needs to reset itself (I had to find the "fix" to this issue on youtube.com which another gm car owner posted, since there was nothing remotely helpful about it in my owner's manual). I went to a dealer to get the insert to my keys and it has not solved any of these problems. My biggest fear is taking my car on highways since these issues still exist, and I am deathly afraid of the possibility of the key moving out of the "run" position and stopping completely which I am aware has happened to other gm vehicles that has caused accidents and fatalities.

My concern is about my future safety in my pontiac grand am. Since these recalls have been going out I have checked to see if this car will be on the list. I have had to replace my ignition three times last replacement was in 2011, I was lucky that when the replacements took place my car had failed to start and I wasn't driving, however in jan of 2014 when driving during a snow storm trying to get home, my car hit an ice patch and slide into a guard rail. The impact was so hard that it damaged and bent my left side bumper, breaking the headlight to pieces. To replace the headlight the bumper required to be pulled out and straighten. My air bag did not deploy on impact, even though I hit my head on the headliner, and there was major damage to the car. I live in the mountains of va, how fast was the car going, I am not sure but I can guess impact was about 20/25 MPH. Even though the police did come (only because they witness the incident) no police report was filed, I have been looking for this car to be recalled and sure enough its on the list as of july 3 2014. I have not received a letter on the recall, nor does it show up on the cars VIN. The roads in my location are mountain roads with curve after curve and up and downs, although the speed limits are reduced in order to drive safely, my worry is that if I lose control of my car because the electrical system, I will be going down the side of some mountain. I called my local dealer for help, and was told because the recall was not on the VIN# they will not help me. I already know my air bags do not work, I already know I have had ignition problems, so if the ignition stops working, this is an accident waiting to happen. I don't understand if this car make and model is on the federal safety agency list why can't I get it fixed?

I had several times I would be driving down the road and even the highway it has died on me. Luckily I was able to get the door locks come unlock that I knew the car died. When I am driving my flashers on my car continue to make a ticking noise. When I try to start the car sometimes I have to pump the gas and I had already had fuel pump replaced. When I start it I have to wait for a service engine soon before I can start it. Sometimes I be driving and my headlights will go dim and I turn it up as far and bright . It still don't work.
