“MY PROBLEM STARTED SUMMER OF 2008,I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY12 TRAVELING 55MPH. I FELT AS IF MY CAR WAS LIFTING ITSELF OFF THE GROUND SEVERAL MINS LATER I HEARD A LOUD BOOM. AND WAS SLIGHTLY BLINDED BY THE SUNLIGHT. I THOUGHT I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. BUT IT WAS MY SUNROOF THAT CAME OFF. IT HAS BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE SUNROOF REPAIRED. MOST REPAIR SHOPS REFER ME TO THE PONTIAC DEALER AS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A SUNROOF COMING OFF UNLESS DEFECTED. I CALLED THE PONTIAC DEALER IN STOCKTON, CA TWICE EACH TIME I WAS TOLD SUNROOFS FLY OFF ALL THE TIME, I COULD TAKE IT TO ANY REPAIR SHOP OF MY CHOICE OR SEE IF INSURANCE WILL COVER REPAIRS. I ASKED WHAT SHOPS THEY USED OR RECOMMEND EACH TIME AGENTS COULD NOT RECALL ANYTHING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE THEY TOO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS, SINCE NOT FROM AN ACCIDENT OR NATURAL DISASTER I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO I TRANSPORT IN VEHICLE DRIVING WITHOUT A SUNROOF WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND NOT SAFE FOR THE HEALTH OF MY CHILDREN NOR MYSELF. AFTER THE RUN AROUND, TRYING TO TAPE DOWN EXPOSED AREA TO NO AVAIL, LOST OF HEARING. I DECIDED TO GO TO TAPS, THERE,…”

“I OWN A PONTIAC 2000 GRAND AM SE POWER WINDOWS. IT STARTED WITH DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS WINDOW UP CRUMPLED UP AND WINDOW FELL THROUGH. HAD IT REPAIRED REPLACED PLASTIC PIECE. DID NOT WORK. THIS IS 4/2009 ALL THE WINDOWS HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. 300.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE EACH WINDOW REPLACEMENT MOTOR. I HAVE A 4 DOOR. *TR”

“THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2 DOOR 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM. CONTINUE TO FAIL. I HAVE REPLACED FOUR OF THE REGULATORS SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2003. THESE WINDOW REGULATORS COST $112.00 EVERY TIME THEY FAIL. DEPENDING ON HOW AND WHEN, THESE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF THE GLASS FALLING INTO THE DOOR AND BREAKING THE GLASS. WHEN THE FIRST ONE FAILED, I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW GLASS, IN RETURN MADE AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $120.00. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER LOCAL OWNERS AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES WITH THESE WINDOW REGULATORS. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND SOLVED WITH A REDESIGN OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR SYSTEM AT THE COST OF GENERAL MOTORS. *TR”

WHEN THE FIRST WINDOW STOPPED WORKING I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR SYSTEM WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD. NO WINDOW PARTS HAVE BEEN FIXED OR REPLACED. *TR”
