Pontiac Grand Am Visibility Safety Report | Sept 10, 2005
Reported on Sept 10, 2005
| GRAND AM 1999, MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF AFTER TOUCHING IT, FOUND THAT ALL THE PLASTIC SCREW HOLDERS WERE BROKEN, WE DISCONNECTED THE MIRROR AND CALLED FOR PRICING, VERY EXPENSIVE TO GET THAT PLASTIC SUPPORT PIECE. MY DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR WAS HANGING BY THE CABLES ONE MORNING WENT I WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK. I HAD USED PLASTIC TYPE STRING TO TIE IT ON, THEN TRIED DUCK TAPE BOTH TO NO AVAIL. MY NEIGHBOR TIRED SCREWS BUT THEY HAVE COME OUT, WILL TRY LONGER ONES TODAY. WHY DOES GM USE SUCH CHEAP PLASTIC TO HOLD A MIRROR THAT IS SUBJECT TO PRESSURE FROM NORMAL DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. MY OTHER BIG ISSUE IS MY BACK PASSENGER WINDOW, I CAME OUT FROM WORK AND FOUND IT COMPLETELY OPEN, IT WILL NOT GO UP WITH THE MOTORIZED SWITCH AND WILL FALL DOWN WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT, IT IS DIFFICULT DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, HAVE TRIED WEDGING IT, WILL HAVE TO GO DUCK TAPE I GUESS THAT AFTER READING REPORTS ON MY CAR STATS IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. IT IS A SHAME THAT THE CAR FALLS APART BEFORE IT IS PAID FOR. *JB | |
