Anyone know why a 2000 pontiac Grand Prix makes a scraping sound when making a hard left turn? I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. When I make a U-turn or something similar, it makes a scraping or grinding sound. This is only when I turn left. It does this in reverse, also. (I think it's louder in reverse.) I am not braking. It doesn't scrape all the time, just when doing a hard turn. We checked the power steering fluid and it's OK. Does anyone have any clues as to what this might be? I would appreciate any help you might have. Thanks so much!

Has anyone experienced any major problems with the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix? I purchased a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT about a year ago with about 44,000 miles on it. I haven't had any problems out of it other than the normal items that require attention (brakes,rotors oil changes) due to wear and tear. It has about 67,000 miles on it (most are highway miles) and I am wondering what type of issues am I looking at as it approaches 70,000 miles. Other than the poor gas milage (city driving at 20mpg) this car is awesome, especially on the highway (30mpg). Another issue that I have is that the car is black and everytime I wash it the car seems to collect dust after a couple of hours.
Pontiac Grand Prix short or obscure safety feature? I have a 2004 pontiac grand prix and every time I hit the brakes to slow or stop, the radio volume fades some.

Whining Noise from under the hood of a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix? I recently bought a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, and love the car, except for when I accelerate under 30 mph or so. My car makes an annoying whining sound, I already had it serviced, and they put a new alternator in, though that didn't help, and the dealership isn't being real carring, despite my warranty. If anyone has a Pontiac Grand Prix, on mage 5-12 of the big manual, part "G" in the picture, the power steering fluid resevoir (the one that has a belt attached to the side) appears to be where the noise was coming from. The whine from the car sometimes worsens while turning and accelerating, and it wasn't until moments ago looking at the manual that I realized the part which appears to be causing the whine was the "Power Steering Fluid Resevoir". Is it possible that this part is causing the whining even while going in a straight line? Note the whine only happens while my foot is on the gas. I will provide more detail if asked, 10pts goes to the best answer. EDIT: I'm asking, is it more so the lack of enough steering fluid, more than the piece itself?

At what speed should the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners deploy on a 2007-2008 Pontiac grand prix? My wife and mother-in-law drive 2007-2008 pontiac grand prix's, respectively. They were both in volved in high impact front end collisions at over 45 miles per hour on seperate occasions. But the airbags did not deploy and the seatbelt pre-tensioners did not activate on either vehicle. In my wife's case, the impact in her accident flipped her car and still nothing deployed. At what speed should these things happen? I was under the impression that anything over 25 miles per hour would deploy them.
