Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Alternator/generator/regulator Safety Report | May 01, 2002
Reported on May 01, 2002
| THIS IS FOR THE 99 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE....I AM SURE THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE...MYSELF AND ANYONE ELSE I KNOW WHO HAS THIS CAR HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ON THE REGULATOR OF THE POWER WINDOW SYSTEM THERE ARE 2 CLIPS THAT ATTACH TO THE REGULATOR. ONE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE WINDOW AND ONE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE WINDOW. THESE CLIPS ARE METAL WITH PLASTIC SLITS IN THEM FOR THE WINDOW TO SLIDE INTO....THEY MAKE THE WINDOW GO UP AND DOWN....UNFORTUNATELY THEY SEEM TO ONLY LAST ABOUT 3 MONTHS...I HAVE WENT THROUGH 3 SETS OF THESE THINGS ALREADY...I NEVER HAVE A WINDOW TO ROLL DOWN. I ALWAYS HAVE IT SPLINTED UP WITH A SMALL PIECE OF WOOD..MY PASSENGER WINDOW IS BROKE AGAIN AND I AM REALLY GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH THIS...IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. LIKE I SAID IT IS NOT JUST ME....EVEN WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY ALWAYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM....I HAD TO WAIT ALMOST A MONTH FOR A BACK ORDER ON THE PARTS!! | |
