| While washing my new vehicle for the first time, i discovered on my gto that the drivers side, rear view mirror is severely scratched. this was reported to the dealer and dealer said that they would fix while vehicle was being repaired for a leaking head, and a bent strut (both gm warranty issues). dealer claimed that they would be able to buff' this out with a process they had and that it wouldn't be a problem. vehicle was returned to me and problem was not fixed, in fact it was worse. worse to the point that it is difficult to see out of the mirror at certain times because the sunlight can high light the many scratches, making it very difficult and distracting to see out of the mirror. a brand new $30000 vehicle and they can't get a $40 rear view mirror right even after a second chance. this is a safety hazard gm needs to certify fixed and repair suspect and damaged vehicles. after informing pontiac customer service of this issue. the have decided to take no action to resolve the problem and have closed my case and said that their is nothing more they can do. customer service and gm were very hostile and uncooperative. *jb | |||

| I have had to replace both front tires twice due to inside tire wear/premature wear/strut rub (all inside wear near strut). the intermittent wipers do not function properly (all the time). give a false error of overheating within minutes of start-up (happened about a dozen times). analog speedometer was very erratic, moved all around from 0 to 200 mph while cruising at 65 mph (2 times) and read 140 mph while stopped. paint on the door handles started peeling off within 3 months of ownership (bought brand new). dampness behind the drives seat on the floor (often after driving in rain). radio controls on steering wheel do not function properly, a button has the function of the one above it (off & on all the time). gas cap replaced due to premature wear, caused engine light to turn on (often, still happens once in a while with the new cap). hard to shift in reverse at times, helps to shift in another gear first. shifter rattles often during acceleration. pops out of 2nd gear (mostly during cold mornings, also hard to shift into 2nd gear on cold mornings. lights stay on after car is shut off while in auto-mode; worked correctly at first, but now they always stay on (always operate them manually now to keep from draining battery). *nm | |||
