WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose or missing pa\
rts,
signs of wear,
or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals
if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system.
Look for broken,
damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or
other conditions which could cause a heat build-up
in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes
into the vehicle. See
the Index under Engine Exhaust.
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed.
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hooku\
p, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Also
inspect drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, \
including drums,
wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment.
You may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions result
in frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be
serviced. Also, if the brake system warning light
stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system. See the
Index under Brake System Warning Light. If your anti-lock brake
system warning light stays
on or comes on, something may be wrong with the anti-lock brake
system. See the
Index under Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light.

Customer Assistance Information
Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and Pontiac.
Normally, any concern with the sales
transaction or the operation of your
vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s
Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best
intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur. If your
concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should
be taken:
STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with
a member of dealership management.
Complaints can often be quickly
resolved at that level. If the matter has
already been reviewed with the Sales,
Service, or Parts Manager, contact the
owner of the dealership or the General
Manager.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member of Dealership Management,
it
appears your concern cannot be resolved
by the dealership without further help,
contact the Pontiac Customer Assistance
Center by calling 1-800-PM CARES. In
Canada, contact
GM of Canada
Customer Assistance Centre in Oshawa
by calling 1-800-263-3777 (English) or
1-800-263-7854 (French).
In Mexico, call (525) 254-3777. In
Puerto Rico or
U.S. Virgin Islands, call
1-809-763-1315. In all other overseas
locations, contact GM International
Export Sales in Canada by calling
1-416-644-4112. For prompt assistance, please have the
following information available to give
the Customer Assistance Representative:
Your name, address, telephone
number
Vehicle Identification Number (This is
available from the vehicle registration
or title, or the plate attached to the left
top of the instrument panel and visible
through the windshield.)
Dealership name and location

concern.
