Pontiac G6 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | June 05, 2008
Reported on June 05, 2008
| I BOUGHT MY CAR ON JUNE 2, 2008, WHEN WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WE COULD SMELL OIL BURNING, WE THOUGHT THEY JUST OVERFILLED THE FLUIDS, ON THURSDAY, JUNE 5TH, 2008 WHILE GOING TO LUNCH, MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT IN MY CAR, IT WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ELEVEN (11) DAYS WHILE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN WE GOT IT BACK FROM THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE GARAGE A WEEK AND A HALF LATER FOR THIS AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, WE NOTICED THAT THE OIL KEPT GOING LOW. ON AUGUST 14TH, 2008 WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE GARAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS HORRENDOUS, MASS AMOUNT OF OIL COLLECTING UNDER THE MOTOR. THE GARAGE KEPT MY CAR AGAIN, BECAUSE THE REAR MAIN CRANK SHAFT SEAL WENT IN THE ENGINE. THEY REPLACED THE REAR MAIN CRANK SHAFT SEAL, IT WAS IN THE GARAGE UNTIL AUGUST 21, 2008, ON THIS DAY WHEN WE PICKED THE CAR UP, WE HAD TO TAKE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT WAS HESITATING TO START AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD. THE GARAGE DETERMINED THAT WIRES WERE UNPLUGGED ON THE ENGINE. ON, SEPTEMBER 5TH WHILE LEAVING WORK THE CAR BROKE DOWN ON ME AGAIN, THIS TIME THE ENGINE BLEW IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2008, WHILE THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE. SO IN THE FEW MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR IT HAS BEEN IN THE GARAGE FOR ALMOST A MONTH GETTING REPAIR AFTER REPAIR DONE TO IT. *TR | |
