| There was no crash, i am just concerned i have a 2004 pontiac grand am gt, the dash is defective and made of inferior materials. it is so warped and curled not to mention broke and lose, that in the event of a collision the dash will become a missile and in its current state it blocks a portion of the passenger airbag. this is a common problem with these vehicles and gm will do nothing about it. the dash is unsafe and was not built to last. *tr | |||

| When engaging the clutch to start the vehicle heard a pop and the clutch pedal went straight to the floor, but the clutch was not engaged. this is the second time this type of incident has occurred during the life of this vehicle, first time occurred when it was still under the original manufactures warranty. | |||

| I have had to replace the windsheild wiper transmission on my 2004 pontiac grand am 3 times, if i go thru a car wash it breaks my wipers every time, my drives side wiper would not work at all, finally i had to get it checked out by a mechanic and he told me it would cost 500 plus to fix, thankfully i found a part at a junk yard for 50.00 and replaced it, about a month later i went thru a car wash and it broke again, i think that water pressure shouldnt break it! also my security light keeps coming on, i have no idea why, it goes off after being on a few mins, also my dash is peeling very bad, wich every grand am i have looked at is peeling, it blocks my dash and everything and its putting pressure on my front window! thanks! | |||

| 2004 pontiac grand am with approximately 65,000 miles. clicking sound normally associated with directional/turn signal is being heard, even when directional is not in use. sometimes the clicking is activiated by moving or turning the steering wheel. the clicking is not constant or consistent, but it does occur every time the directional signal is used. the sound appears to come from the dashboard area (near the radio and hazard light button). the dealership is aware of the issue and has diagnosed it as a faulty/dirty multifunction switch, which he says he replaces frequently. if this is a known issue, i believe general motors (pontiac) should address the issue before it turns more serious. | |||

| I own a 2004 pontiac grand-am, which i purchased in october 2003. between the time of purchase and now, my ignition switch has gotten stuck in the off position at least four times. each time it appeared that it was an electrical problem with the manufacturer installed theftlock system . the theftlock light would still be on after the car was unlocked using the remote and the key inserted in the ignition. until a couple of days ago, i just waited it out for 10 to 30 minutes and would be able to turn the ignition switch. however, the last time it happened, waiting did not work. i had to have the car towed to a nearby dealership for service. the ignition and lock cylinder have to be replaced. the cylinder has to be altered so my key fits. after researching i now know that this is a common problem with pontiac. *dt | |||
