On march 16th 2016 while on the way to a doctors appt. We tried to used the right rear seat belt,however we could not get the seat belt to pull out so we could use it. On the way to the drs. Office we smelled a strong odor of oil and antifreeze in the car. When we got to drs. Office we noticed smoke coming from under the hood. So we let the car sit there until after the appt. When we got back to car we checked under the hood and could not find any oil of water leak, so my wife was driving me back home when the car completely cut off and stopped running,she had no control of the car at all. So I helped he turn the car off to road to the shoulder until it stopped. After looking I noticed the key was in the off position, I tried to start the car and it started right up I drove the car on home, and that's where it sits now!!! Please help!!!

In october 2011, I noticed that my a\c & heating fan was working intermittently. After a hard rain, the fan stopped working completely, and I noticed a large puddle of water on the passenger side floor. I decided not to have the blower motor replaced until after I could find the exact location of the water leak. In spring 2012, while washing my car, I noticed that the seal between the windshield and the hood is not properly connected, and that water could be pushed into a hole in the seal. The seal is not damaged - there is simply a gap between the seal and windshield. Water runs behind the glove box, through electrical wiring and equipment, making this a fire hazard.

After a rain, both the front and rear passenger side floors are soaked with water. The raised portion under the seat remains dry. The ceiling area around the moon roof is completely dry. The carpeting leading down to the floor (console covering, area below the doors, area under the dash) are all dry. Only the lowest portion of the floor is wet, and it is completely soaked. It leads me to believe the water enters from either at the base of the windshield where the plastic cowl is separated from the glass, or in the roof-body seam on top of the roof where the forward edge of the roof meets the top of the door jam. I have not taken it into the dealer yet, but plan to. In the meantime, I shop-vac'd the water out as best I could and keep it in the garage. I'm concerned because there are electrical cables under the front carpet and they are wet.

2004 pontiac grand prix - water leakage in the front passenger floorboard via the air/heat fan belt area. Soaking entire front passenger side floorboard. I have contacted two different local pontiac dealerships who informed me that they have both seen several 04 grand prix models come into their dealerships with this problem. They said that it was possibly one of two things. A problem with the deflector for the fresh air vent by the cowel or it could be the water hose leading from the sun roof that could be clogged. The fact that water is leaking into the interior of the car in the are where the water is collecting could cause a serious electrical short, as the area that the water is coming through the electrical components of the vehicle. I view this is as a default in the design of the vehicle and would like someone to look into this matter. I am afraid that left unattended to that this could cause a fire. Both dealerships have indicted that because my vehicle is not covered under warranty that this matter would take several hours to correct and estimated a cost of approximately $230.00 to correct this matter.
