I have a 2000 pontiac grand prix gt and am getting ready to take it to the dealer for the 3rd time since owning it (I purchased it as new vehicle). It seems the heater motor/heater resistor goes bad about every 2 years. I have read many other complaints on this problem on the internet

Blower motor failed. This is a safety issue, for those of us who live in cold climates and drive through snow and risk the possibility of not being able to remove frozen rain and snow from the windshield while driving. I have been told that there are many grand pries that have had their blowers fail. This should be considered a safety issue and taken seriously, and something should be done so that an already dangerous driving situation (ieee driving in snow) is not made worse when someone else suddenly finds that their blower is no longer working.

I have had to replace two of the motors for my windows (one of them in a rear window which is never even used!). I work with 5 other people that have had at least two-four motors go out on their pontiacs also. This appears to be a recurring problem with pontiac and has caused me to reconsider buying a new grand prix.
