Pontiac Grand Am Electrical System Ignition Safety Report | Nov 21, 1998
Reported on Nov 21, 1998
| MY CAR HAS STALLED FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I LOSE ALL POWER AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART FOR FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR. TWO TIMES THE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT. ONE TIME IT STALLED ON A BLIND TURN ON A BACK ROAD AND PEOPLE HAS TO SWERVE TO AVOID ME. THE OTHER TIME THE LOSE OF POWER STEERING MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO AVOID OTHER CARS AS I TRIED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND I AM SO SCARED THAT I'M GOING TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD THE CAR ON A FLATBED FOUR TIMES AND BROUGHT TO THE DEALER. EACH TIME THE CAR STARTS FOR THE DEALER AND THEY CAN FIND NO PROBLEMS. THEY SAY IT COULD BE TO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE CAR HAS ALSO FAILED TO START ON SIX OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM EITHER. | |
