Pontiac Pontiac Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | Feb 18, 2005
Reported on Feb 18, 2005
| MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM WHEN HER WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY CRASHED DOWN. SHE WAS VERY STARTLED BY THE EPISODE. THE DIAGNOSIS BY A MECHANIC WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. I OWN A PONTIAC BONNEVILLE AND JUST LAST WK. HAD TO REPLACE MY REGULATORR (THE 2ND ONE ON THIS CAR). MY SON PREVIOUSLY OWNED A GRAND AM. HE ALSO HAD TO HAVE A REGULATOR REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PONTIACS...GRAND AMS, GRAND PRIX'S, BONNEVILLES. WHILE THIS MAY NOT SEEM ON THE SURFACE TO BE SAFETY RELATED, THE SUDDENESS OF THESE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONING MAY VERY WELL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY DAUGHTER WAS SO STARTLED BY IT SHE SAID SHE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD. GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR WINDOWS BEFORE SOMEBODY IS INJURED. THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE REGULATORS ARE NOT ISOLATED INCIDENCES. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM. *AK | |
