NHTSA Complaint #10071196 — 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM

MY MAJOR COMPLAINT IS THE BLACK GLOSSY PAINT THAT IS PEELING FROM THE SIDE DOOR/REAR QUARTER WINDOW PILARS. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL QUOTES TO HAVE IT FIXED WHICH ARE IN THE RANGE OF $250 TO $500. THE SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF IN A CAR WASH TWO MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE DEALER DID FIX IT ONCE AT NO CHARGE. THE RADIO DISPLAY DOES NOT WORK RIGHT AWAY, AND USUALLY HAS TO WARM UP BEFORE I AM ABLE TO READ THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH A SENSOR, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT START, AND THE DEALER PAID FOR THAT SERVICE AS WELL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON ALMOST SINCE THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS COMPLETED AT MY COSTS, HOWEVER THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A WHILE, AND THEN COME BACK ON.
