Could not use the car at all as windows could not be defrosted without blower. Had to get a different vehicle to get to work. This should be a recall....

Everything on the recall list is what is wrong with my vehicle. My Pontiac Grand Prix GT is Sh*t and they will fix everything that is wrong with it because it was sold that way and somebody needs to be held accountable for what happened. And they built it, not me so they will pay for everything. Electrical,wheels hubs, brakes, brake system, engine, transmission. When i drive it dies out and the engine light comes on and it says Reduced Engine Power. I think they should be held accountable for these problems.

This is apparently a manufacturer defect. This problem was no fault of my own nor did it happen due to usual usage or deterioration. I see no reason why I should have to foot the bill for this and should be reimbursed for the full amount. I plan to complain further to the maker of Pontiacs.

Started my car one day, heater was on. Went to clean snow off of the car. Got back in and the heater didn't work. Went out for 3 days. Took out the motor to test it. It works fine with no issues. Plugged it back in, and had nothing happen. I unplugged the resistor, plugged it back in, and nothing. Messed with the wires for a little while, and it kicked back on. Sounds like a short to me. Worth fixing? Not sure. At the moment, I still have heat. Kicks off when wipers are on, then starts back up again.

It's summer and Roswell (my car) is letting us suffer. First it started with him getting a spanking on the dashboard. Then i had to began beating him, very hard. Now the air won't blow at all. Spoke with a mechanic, and he said it's a shortage in there. Of course the mechanic is my daddy and can't get to it right know, because he has other customer's, "paying that is".

While driving the blower may quite and then when I hit a rough spot on the highway, it may come back on. It started out only once in awhile but now it is happening everyday. I have auto start and it does it then to the blower may come on or it doesn't it.
