There are many safety concerns on this vehicle. The first concern is the smoke that comes from under the hood because of the oil leaking on the engine while in motion. To the point I have had to use a hose to cool down the motor. Oil poured out with the water. I have had the prior recalls done and still had leaking after the so called recall was done in 2010. I was told by castle Pontiac (North riverside, il) there was no further repairs they could offer. Even though I showed them the oil continuing to leak after the so called recall was completed. The second concern is the head lamp assembly that is foggy looking causing the vehicle to have poor lighting. The next concern is the suspension that is literally falling apart. I have also had to have the head gasket changed on this vehicle and the transmission had to be rebuilt. Also the tail lamps retain water every time it rains & the passenger & drivers side doors fill with rain. Like I said there are many safety concerns on this vehicle. I can provide photos to the correct parties & would be willing to consider my vehicle being used to be investigated to create remedies for these safety concerns as my small child & myself travel in this vehicle. When I talked to GM customer service today I was told the vehicle is safe to drive yet I am sure if the owner of GM had this vehicle they would not deem this vehicle safe. Thank you in advance for taking time to read my concerns.

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix original headlamps do not reflect light. Very very poor visibility ! have changed to brighter bulb, does not help. So poor that you can see your autos shadow when a car comes behind you.

I just bought a used 2 door Grand Prix gtp (2000) and noticed the brake lights do not work and the hazard switch is jammed. I searched the problem online and saw that many people have the same problem. I'm very disappointed that this has not been recalled. I think way more people have this problem but they do not know where to report it to.
