| 1991 | TIRES:SIDEWALL | DISCOVERED A LARGE BULGE ON SIDEWALL OF TIRE AT ONLY 2000 MILES. FIRESTONE SAID IT WAS IMPACT RELATED BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.*AK |
| 2000 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | SEE BELOW. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SIGNALS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I WOULD HIT THE HAZARD SWITCH OR HIT ON THE CONSOLE FOR THEM TO WORK, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD. I TOOK VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION AND WAS REJECTED. I CALLED PONTIAC TO SEE ABOUT RECALL FOR THIS. MY VIN DID NOT MATCH RECALL. WAS TOLD IF I HAD IT INSPECTED AT GM DEALERSHIP THAT THE PRICE TO FIX IT MAY HAVE BEEN REDUCED. TOOK IT TO WHERE I HAD IT INSPECTED AND IT WAS FIXED FOR $80. PONTIAC DID NOT OFFER ME ANY AT COST OR REDUCED PRICE TO HAVE IT FIXED IF I TOOK IT TO GM BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE IT INSPECTED THERE ORIGINALLY. THEY GAVE ME A REF # IN CASE THERE WAS A REIMBURSEMENT OF THE SERVICE AND REPAIR AT A LATER DATE.
