Pontiac Grand Am Fuel System, Gasoline Delivery Fuel Pump Safety Report | Dec 01, 2006
Reported on Dec 01, 2006
| WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH ON A BACK ROAD MY CAR SHUT OFF AND AT THAT POINT I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING SO I HAD TO GET OUT AND PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BY MYSELF. HAD IT TOWED; FIRST MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE SECURITY SYSTEM AND A DEALER WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT. SO I HAD IT TOWED 42 MILES TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP HAD BURNED UP, BUT THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION ON AN EXTREMELY BAD CORNER THAT I COULD HARDLY MANEUVER DUE TO THE LACK OF POWER STEERING. CAR ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES...HAD BRAKES & ROTORS REPLACED TWICE NOW (ONCE IN AUGUST 2005 AND MOST RECENTLY ON DECEMBER 28, 2006) AND NOW THERE'S ALREADY A PROBLEM AS THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN I HAD TO STOP SHORT, LUCKILY AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. *NM | |
