I have a 2000 gran prix gt with 78,000 miles on it. I have had a few sensors go bad and have replaced them no problem. Over the last few months my car has been making these thumping or clunking noise in the front. I happens when put it into gear an move forwards, backwards, and turning the steering wheel while doing both of these. It also sometimes happens when I am braking. Haven't taken anywhere yet since I don't what is wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with the car that I know of except for the noise. If anyone has any ideas what it is, it would be a lot of help.

| I've had this noise in the front (more to the front right) of my car for some time. It only makes the noise (sounds like a loud tin can noise or something that is loose) when I am accelerating. It stops when I take my foot off of the accelerator. I've had dealerships, personal mechanics look for the noise - they cannot duplicate it (of course) and cannot see anything loose or anything that may be making the noise. Would anyone have any ideas? | |

Hey guys...got a quick question... I have an 05 GP. Everything is great except for one thing. At 1000 RPM I can hear a vibration from what appears to be right in front of the glovebox. Does anybody know what this could be? It only happens when holding steady at 1000 RPM? Thanks in advance! |

Ok not sure if anyone else has had this problem. When I reach the speed of about 70 mph on up I can hear a howling sound now I am not sure which direction this is coming from, but I have narrowed it down from the front window cowl to the back rear, maybe a tire or something. My window cowl is actually loose. Now I was told this is the way all GP are made. So far in the mean time it is driving me nuts. I thought it might be comeing from the cowl maybe the wind is hitting it at a angle so that the faster I go the louder the noise gets. Has anyone come across this?

I have a 2005 Grand Prix and wanted to know what is that annoying whining noise I hear when I turn! Does anyone else have this problem? As I continue to drive it subsides but it still bothers me.

I purchased a 06 program Grand Prix in December with 28xxx and have enjoyed the car. But of course after the 36,000 mile warranty goes by problems arise. First as summer came on I notice the engine becoming sluggest and surging as you give it gas. It idles smooth and seems to run down the interstate fine. Then the steering became a issue, when you turn it feels like something is giving and kind of a elastic feeling. Called the dealer and he thinks its the steering shaft????? I'm coming back to GM from a bad experience with a 96 cavalier that was a lemon. Had great luck for the last 10 years with Ford and decided to give Pontiac a try. If anyone has had similar issues please let me know, really like the car but seems like alot of problems right off the bat. Kevin
