| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: #1) shift lock affected; march 2003: at first it occurred only on occasion, but as of now i have not been able to pull the shifter out of park in months without using the shift lock release. daily i must stick a key into the release in order to remove my car from park into reverse, neutral, drive, etc.. the indication light for park and neutral no longer comes on. #2)ignition switch affected; march 2003: the key will not release from the ignition switch. which i believe has something to do with the shifter not coming out of park. i have not removed my key since the end of march. ivy been told several solutions none of witch has worked. i've spent $100+ replacing parts that have not resolved anything.*ak #3) headlight covers affected; january 2003: not even two days after i bought this car the left headlight cover fell off. of course it was raining the headlight instantly busted. the dealers solution was to glue it back on. to ensure that the other one doesn't fall off they glued it . from the headlight cover falling off and bulb busting i have black specks in the silver/ crome inner lining of the headlight. it makes the car look bad!! moisture now builds in my headlights. there are 124 complaints on this website alone when will something be done!!!!! #4) rearview mirror affected; september 2003: my mirror is now full of blure. the mirror first started oozing water bubbles floating to the top eventually creating a huge bubble. now just a completely fogged mirror. is a mirror usefull when you cant see an image through it???? no! i have a cousin who has faced problems 1,2,and 3 all with in the last year or two also. why make a car and have the buyer hate it? i would not recommend the grand prix or even pontiac to anyone! my suggestions to buyers has been anything and everything but these cars!*ak |
