IN RELATION TO ODI CASE NUMBER: 10273941 YESTERDAY, JULY 16, 2009 I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE WINDOW MOLDING POPPING OFF AND WAS NOT SURE THE CAUSE OF IT. ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS ATTEMPTING TO BREAK INTO THE CAR. NOTICING NO ATTEMPT TO BREAK IN OTHER THAN THE MOLDING POPPED OFF I DETERMINED IT TO BE POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE HEAT AS YESTERDAY WAS THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR. THE MOLDING DISASSEMBLED ITSELF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT WAS EASILY PLACED BACK INTO LOCATION AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AGAIN. *TR

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WAS UNABLE TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE LEAK SINCE THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN THE SHOP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I WAS UNABLE TO GET A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE OF MY AGE SO I COULDN'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. *AK

I HAVE HAD TAKEN MY 2004 GRAND AM SE TO THE DEALERSHIP (MIKE RAISOR PONTIAC IN LAFAYETTE, IN.) ATLEAST 6 TIMES I KNOW OF. EVERY TIME IT WAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE (AIR LEAK). A GM REP CAME OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND THAT REP STATED THAT MY CAR DID HAVE AN AIR LEAK, BUT IT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO HIM. GM WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED QUATER PANEL AFTERQUARTER PANEL, LOWERED THE TRUNK DECK, REPLACED WINDOWS AND WINDOW APPLIQUES, FIXED DENTS IN THE ROOF ON EACH SIDE OF THE SUNROOF AND I THINK THATS A LITTLE TO MUCH.I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN AS LONG AS I AM DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FULL OF NOTHING, BUT FALSE PROMISES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING GETS DONE.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY CAR WITH THE UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WOULD FIX AN AIR LEAK IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW. AFTER TAKING IT TO THEM ON 4 DEFERENT OCCASIONS, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR IF I HAD KNOWN I WOULD HAVE TO LISTEN TO AN AIR LEAK. I CONTACTED A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM WHO VERIFIED THAT THERE IS IN FACT A DEFECT WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE LEAKING AIR, BUT WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL "ENOUGH" PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AIR LEAK, THERE WILL NOT BE A RECALL ON IT. *JB

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH A FUEL TANK THAT DOES NOT MEET SPECIFICATION. A WELD ON THESE FUEL TANKS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT, RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK, AND REPLACE IT, IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
