Pontiac Bonneville Engine And Engine Cooling Cooling System Safety Report | Aug 29, 2000
Reported on Aug 29, 2000
| ON 8/25/2000 HAD TO HAVE MY WATER PUMP REPLACED($536.91). PICKED UP CAR WENT 11 MILE IT QUIT HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO PERFORMANCE PONTIAC. INFORMED AT THAT TIME THE PLENUM FAILED COST OF THAT JOB INCLUDING TOWING AN RENTAL ($830.80). ON 3/20/2002 CAR QUIT HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO PERFORMANCE PONTIAC AGAIN. CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM THE PLENUM FAILED AGAIN. WHEN I CALLED GM PONTIAC DIVISION THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS THE ISSUE. IT'S A $31000. I TRAVEL FOR A LIVING AND HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS OF MY MAINTENANCE THAT WOULD AMAZE YOU. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN OVER 3000 BEFORE EACH OIL CHG. TIRES ARE ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES. TRANSMISSION OIL CHGS HAS BEEN DONE TWICE. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED TWICE PREMATURELY TO PREVENT SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS. I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH RECORDS THAT SHOW TO THE PENNY WHAT I'VE SPENT ON GASOLINE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. I AM CONVINED THAT IT IS NOT A MILEAGE ISSUE AND TOTALLY CONVINCED THAT THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF ANY NEGLIGENCE ON MY PART. I WAS TOTALLY TURNED OFF BY THE ATTITUDE OF PONTIAC CONCERNING THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. I CAN ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH TESTIMONIALS FROM BUSINESSES THAT I USE TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE TO WHAT A FANACTIC I AM ABOUT PREVENTITVE MAINTENANCE. WAITING ANXIOUSLEY FOR YOUR REPLY. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. NICK LEOGRANDE. *AK | |
