Pontiac Grand Am Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | Apr 05, 2005
Reported on Apr 05, 2005
| NEAR CRASH. OCCASIONALLY THE RPMS WHILE IN GEAR WILL RAISE TO 3300 RPM MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP QUICKLY ENOUGH TO AVOID AND ACCIDENT. I FOUND IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION THEN RESTART THE IDLE WILL RETURN BACK TO 650-700 RPMS. NOW THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I WENT TO PONTIAC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM... I HAD A FRIEND WHO ALSO HAD A 1999 GRAND AM WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN WITH HIM WHICH CAUSE HIM TO HAVE A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT ON A WET ROAD. HAS ANYONE ELSE WROTE INTO YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? *NM | |
