2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GTP. 45,000 MILES. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN SERVICE EIGHT TIMES FOR STEERING-RELATED DEFECTS, BEGINNING TWO WEEKS FROM THE DATE OF NEW PURCHASE IN JANUARY, 2004. THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE ALL TOLD ME "IT'S A DESIGN DEFECT...THERE WILL BE A FIX SOON". REPLACED RACK AND PINION TWICE, MIDDLE STEERING SHAFT TWICE, AND RACK/PINION AND ENGINE CRADLE BOLTS SPONTANEOUSLY WORK LOOSE EVERY 3,000-5,000 MILES. NOW VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MOST RECENT VISIT TO CENTURY PONTIAC IN TAMPA, THEY ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE ME $75.00 IN ORDER TO APPLY YET ANOTHER TSB REGARDING LOOSE STEERING, STEERING WHEEL BIND, ETC. I HAD TO CALL PONTIAC AND COMPLAIN BITTERLY, THEY THEN WAIVED THE FEE...BUT DID NOT PAY FOR THE RENTAL CAR. THUS FAR, POWER STEERING PUMP HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED, A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED, MIDDLE STEERING SHAFT REPLACED TWICE, ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED TWICE, AND THERE IS STILL A PERSISTENT "JOLT" THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL WHENEVER PUTTING CAR INTO GEAR, OR TURNING STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT, GOING OVER A GUTTER, ETC. ALSO, LOUD "CLUNK" RESULTING IN SEVERE SHUDDER IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. DEALER(S) STATE THERE IS NO FIX. HAVE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE THREE TIMES DUE TO STEERING SUDDENLY LOOSENING, OR BINDING, WANDERING OFF-CENTER, ETC. DEALER SAYS THERE'S NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO LISTEN TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE STEERING ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE AND LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION?? STEERING RACK BOLTS COMING LOOSE? ENGINE CRADLE BOLTS COMING LOOSE? STEERING SHAFT FAILURES AND FRACTURES? EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO SERVICE, THE DEALERS AND SERVICE MANAGERS "PLAY DUMB" AND TRY TO SAY "I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING"...OR "IT DRIVES LIKE ALL THE OTHER GRAND PRIX'S". PLEASE DON'T LET GM AND PONTIAC CONTINUE TO INSULT OUR COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE AND IGNORE THESE STEERING AND DESIGN ISSUES TO THE POINT WHERE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *NM
SEVERAL ISSUES WITH A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX, IE. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING 2X'S IN 1 YEAR, COMPUTER ISSUES (LOSS OF ABS, VARIABLE STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL), FALSE TIRE PRESSURE READINGS FROM COMPUTER, ETC. *NM
RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM CRACKED WHILE DRIVING AND DESTROYED THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION AND CRADLE OF VEHICLE. I AM THE THIRD PERSON THAT I KNOW OF THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2004 PONTIAC GRAN DPRIX GT2 IN JUNE OF THAT SAME YEAR. ONE WEEK LATER THE REPAIRS BEGAN. THE MOST SCARY OCCURRING ON THE DATE MENTIONED ON THIS COMPLAINT, MAY 26, 2005, ELEVEN MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR HAD NO POWER WHATSOEVER, NO STEERING, NO GAS, NO LIGHTS, NOTHING. I THANK GOD WE ARE ALIVE. THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I RENTED A CAR AT MY OWN EXPENSE FOR EIGHT WEEKS. WE DID NOT STEP FOOT IN THE VEHICLE FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. FOR FINANCIAL REASONS I SLOWLY BEGAN DRIVING MY CAR AGAIN. THERE WERE REPAIRS BEFORE THAT EVENT AS WELL AS AFTERWARDS. THESE INCLUDE THE BRAIN, TRANSMISSION, BRAKES, AXLE, WHEEL BEARINGS, STEERING, SUNROOF, FUEL INJECTORS, AND SAFETY BELTS. *JB

ODI RECEIVED A PETITION FROM MR. BRAD LAMB OF THE NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMERS COUNCIL, REQUESTING INVESTIGATION OF AN ALLEGED DEFECT EVIDENCED BY SHAKE OR BOUNCE OF THE HEADLAMPS ON MODEL YEAR 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX VEHICLES.ODI'S PREVIOUS REVIEW OF THIS ISSUE IN OCTOBER 2003, DETERMINED THAT IT DID NOT WARRANT INVESTIGATION.ODI'S CURRENT ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED 36 COMPLAINTS IN THE CONSUMER COMPLAINT DATABASE; AND A DECLINING TREND OF REPORTS WAS EVIDENT.A FEW FIELD REPORTS OF SIMILAR NATURE WERE ALSO SUBMITTED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN ITS EARLY WARNING REPORTING DATA.A SERVICE BULLETIN AND A REVISED HEADLAMP RETAINING BRACKET WERE ISSUED IN NOVEMBER 2004, AND THESE ACTIONS ARE SEEN AS APPROPRIATE IN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM WHILE ALL OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE STILL COVERED BY THE NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY.COMPROMISE TO SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE WAS NOT IDENTIFIED.IT IS UNLIKELY THAT INVESTIGATION WOULD RESULT IN A NHTSA ORDER FOR THE RECALL AND REMEDY OF THIS PROBLEM.
