1998 Pontiac Grand Prix transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At 38,000 miles my dealer claims the transmission needs to be replaced. I believe this is a result of the uaw strike in 1998.
A check for transmission fluid leak, bolts loose on pan tighten and top off, pan and/or gasket transaxle oil replaced. Popping noice when braking now crunching noise. Brake pedal bushing noisey, blower motor noisey. R&r or replace pedal and/or bushing, brake, motor and/or fan. Vehicle will not start and battery is leaking, due to cracking, replace. Pass headlamp fills with water, improperly sealed.
Trans. Upshifted while accelerating, engine stalled on onramp. Occurred 5x. Original complaint documented @ dealer, happened numerous times since then and now out of warranty. $3000 to fix an obvious (and commonly reported) transmission problem on this car. Narrowly avoided 2 accidents after engine died. Dangerous safety issue that needs attention by the federal safety agency and pontiac.
The transmission failed while I was accelerating onto an interstate highway from an on-ramp. This resulted in my inability to safely accelerate into traffic, forcing the traffic behind to take evasive maneuvers.
I was told by the dealer and gmc headquarter, in oder for me to get any kind of help from them or assistance, I would need to pay 300.00 first to find out if the trasnsmission is defect. And then they will what they can do for me. A customer service rep. Told my husband boss that the company will give me the run around because I am a women. Sgt lewis is in saudi for 3 mos. And I bridget lewis his wife have been dealing back and forth with the dealer and thegmc motors head office. I have sent letter to the bbb auto line they told me that they could not help me, because of the miles I have on our car. But I have been tolf that it is very unusally for a transmission to go out in a 98 . Especally if you have kept up with all the car tune ups. From may 12 to may 17 my car was seen three time by a pontiac dealer. I have not bee able to get a good answer on why I am having this kind of problem. But the dealer in crestveiw fla. Wants to charge me 2400.00 for a rebuild transmission.
