Pontiac Grand Am Fuel System, Other Storage Fuel Gauge System Safety Report | Jan 07, 2006
Reported on Jan 07, 2006
| I OWN A 1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM WITH 80,000 MILES, THAT I BOUGHT NEW. ABOUT A MONTH AGO (JAN. 2006), THE GAS GAUGE FAILED. THE NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY (WHEN THE CAR TANK WAS FULL). NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK, OR WHEN IT WILL RUN OUT LEAVING ME STRANDED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPAIR. I CALLED PONTIAC DIVISION ABOUT THEM FIXING IT, AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT ON THEIR RECALL LIST! I SAID I'VE OWNED CARS FOR OVER 45 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A GAS GAUGE FAIL! THEY SAID I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND IF THEY EVER DECIDE TO RECALL IT, THEY WOULD GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. WELL, I'M A RETIRED DISABLED VETERAN AND CAN'T AFFORD $400 FOR A STUPID GAS GAUGE...SO NOW I GET IT FILLED UP EVERY DAY! *JB | |
