Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT2 AND I HAVE HAD A =FEW PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT APPEAR TO BE QUITE COMMON THE PROBLEMS ARE BELOW *GO THROUGH 1QUART OF OIL APPROX EVERY 1000 MILES *TROUBLE STARTING WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WARMED UP. IE AFTER I DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND GO INTO A STORE I COME OUT AND TRY TO START AND IT DIES RIGHT AWAY. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 6 TRIES TO GET IT STARTED. I USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS TO GET IT GOING. *HEADLAMPS BOUNCE *BLOWER MOTOR KEEPS BLOWING EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. AFTER RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE ALL VERY COMMON IN THE 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. I DO NOT THINK ITS RIGHT THAT PONTIAC HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I BOUGHT MY CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I PAID $11,000 FOR A CAR THAT IS BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY AND OBVIOUSLY HAS A BAD MOTOR. I THINK PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR
