| In relation to odi case number: 10273941 yesterday, july 16, 2009 i also experienced the window molding popping off and was not sure the cause of it. originally i thought someone was attempting to break into the car. noticing no attempt to break in other than the molding popped off i determined it to be possibly related to the heat as yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. the molding disassembled itself on the passenger side of the front windshield. it was easily placed back into location and have not experienced the issue again. *tr | |||

| I have had taken my 2004 grand am se to the dealership (mike raisor pontiac in lafayette, in.) atleast 6 times i know of. every time it was for the same issue (air leak). a gm rep came out to the dealership to drive my car, and that rep stated that my car did have an air leak, but it was acceptable to him. gm would not take care of this problem. the dealership had replaced quater panel afterquarter panel, lowered the trunk deck, replaced windows and window appliques, fixed dents in the roof on each side of the sunroof and i think thats a little to much.i will never buy another gm product again as long as i am driving. the dealership was full of nothing, but false promises. i have reported this problem several times and nothing gets done. | |||

| I recently purchased my car with the understanding from the dealership that they would fix an air leak in the passenger side rear window. after taking it to them on 4 deferent occasions, the problem was not fixed and i was told that it was a defect in this particular make and model of car and that there was nothing that could be done. i would not have purchased the car if i had known i would have to listen to an air leak. i contacted a representative from gm who verified that there is in fact a defect with this automobile leaking air, but was told that until enough people complain about the air leak, there will not be a recall on it. *jb | |||

| The vehicle was flooded. water leaked through the sun roof because of a malfunction in the drains. the path the water went was the floor board, it soaked the computer on the side of the dashboard panel. this caused electrical failure due to corrosion caused by the water. also, the mold and mildew was making the consumer's child sick. they have had respiratory infection etc. *jb | |||

| Dash began peeling back at the windshield shortly after new warrany expired. now it it so warped that it is cracking and breaking every vent cover, or it pops them out as you drive! (not fun late at night when you get hit by who knows what in the dark!) my latest concern ~ recently it has separated above the steering column, exposing the wiring (incl. airbag) inside to dust, moisture, etc. local dealer says this would have been covered under original warranty, but not under gm extended major guard. :-( they made me a 'deal' at cost to replace it for $700. gm corporate office declined to help, other than offer $1,000 towards cost of a new vehicle....which at the time was a promotion available to anyone!! | |||

| 5 days after i purshased the 2004 grand am i was driving on the expressway and heard an air leak coming from driver's side door. i called the dealership, but was unable to set up an appointment to fix the leak since the vehicle would be in the shop for a couple of days. i was unable to get a rental car because of my age so i couldn't make an appointment at the dealership. the car was brand new at the time of purchase. *ak | |||
