Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Ignition Anti-theft Controller Safety Report | July 22, 2006
Reported on July 22, 2006
| TWICE NOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN TRYING TO START IT. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS WHEN IT WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND THE SERVICE GARAGE SAID IT WAS THE SECURITY CODES. THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE NEXT TIME, WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT TO START IT AGAIN IN A FEW MINUTES AND IT WOULD NOT START. AGAIN WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SERVICE GARAGE AND AGAIN IT WAS THE SECURITY CODES. WE HAD TO HAVE THE IGNITION REPLACED IN ORDER TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERING THAT THE CAR WAS BEING STOLEN IN THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. SO, NOW ABOUT $400.00 LATER, I PRAY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, 2 JOBS RELY ON THIS ONE CAR. *NM | |
