There are many safety concerns on this vehicle. The first concern is the smoke that comes from under the hood because of the oil leaking on the engine while in motion. To the point I have had to use a hose to cool down the motor. Oil poured out with the water. I have had the prior recalls done and still had leaking after the so called recall was done in 2010. I was told by castle pontiac (north riverside, il) there was no further repairs they could offer. Even though I showed them the oil continuing to leak after the so called recall was completed. The second concern is the head lamp assembly that is foggy looking causing the vehicle to have poor lighting. The next concern is the suspension that is literally falling apart. I have also had to have the head gasket changed on this vehicle and the transmission had to be rebuilt. Also the tail lamps retain water every time it rains & the passenger & drivers side doors fill with rain. Like I said there are many safety concerns on this vehicle. I can provide photos to the correct parties & would be willing to consider my vehicle being used to be investigated to create remedies for these safety concerns as my small child & myself travel in this vehicle. When I talked to gm customer service today I was told the vehicle is safe to drive yet I am sure if the owner of gm had this vehicle they would not deem this vehicle safe. Thank you in advance for taking time to read my concerns.

2000 pontiac grand prix original headlamps do not reflect light. Very very poor visibility ! Have changed to brighter bulb, does not help. So poor that you can see your autos shadow when a car comes behind you.

I just bought a used 2 door grand prix gtp (2000) and noticed the brake lights do not work and the hazard switch is jammed. I searched the problem online and saw that many people have the same problem. I'm very disappointed that this has not been recalled. I think way more people have this problem but they do not know where to report it to.

Stopped by police for no brake lights. Investigation revealed a problem in the hazard portion of the multifunction switch. Was able to get the hazards working, but switch will need replacement soon. This is same as the federal safety agency action number pe07001.

I have a 2000 grand prix gt with 63000 miles. About a week ago I was traveling to work on a major highway when I had a vehicle come within inches of my bumper. I continued on to my job and the driver pulled into the parking lot next to me. I was then notified I have no brake lights. Since this time my husband has tried to replace both bulbs, the fuse the stop lamp switch and checked wiring for any issues. None of these have solved the issue. Looking through the net I have seen 100's of complaints from pontiac owners with the same problem and I have to wonder why pontiac has not lived up to their end of the bargain and done a recall on this.

Due to the multi-function switch I do not have hazard or brake lights on my 2000 pontiac grand prix I do know there is a investigation on it now and I know many others in my area who I have talked to have had the same problem. It is not cheap to fix and I'm unable to get if fixed at the moment so I use someone else's car when I go. This multi-function switch has my brakes as well as my hazard warning light not working. This is a manufacturer's error and something needs to be done soon.
