The ebcm (electronic brake control module) has gone out. This effect the power steering and the anti-lock brakes. The problem is that a new cost $700. Our gtp doesn't have traction control and we are unable to find a used or reman. Ebcm w/O traction control. The nose cone on the supercharger is also bad. It has a rattle in it that won't go away. It was that way when we bought the car with 68,000 miles on it, now has 102,000.

I have a 1997 pontaic Grand Prix. The headlight lens (glass) comes off while traveling down the road. This creates an unsafe condition being that there is a projectile that could hit another vehicle or a pedestrian and cause serious injury. In calling around to find a replacement lens, I found that this happens a lot and the salavage yards sell them as fast as they get them in. That is a lot of lens covers flying around on the highways. It is even taking a dealership a while to order one, since they also can not keep them in stock. I have no way of knowing it mine hit another vehicle, as it was there when I left and gone when I got to my destination. I heard a noise like a stone or something hitting the car, but was not aware of what it really was. If pontaic knows there is a problem they should be recalled and they should fix the problem.
