Pontiac Grand Prix Electrical System Safety Report | Jan 02, 2007
Reported on Jan 02, 2007
| I TOOK MY CAR IN TO AN CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE CENTER TO RECEIVE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK BECAUSE THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE BAY BRIDGE AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THANK GOD I WAS COMPLETELY OVER INTO THE LEFT HAND LANE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL HAD COMPLETELY LOCKED. THE AUTOMOTIVE CENTER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT DETECTED THAT THE MODEL AND YEAR HAD A RECALL ON INTERGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP DAMAGE THAT CONTROLLED THE CAR. SO THEY TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THAT RECALL SO WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. SO I HAD TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL FEE TO GET MY CAR CHECKED BY THE DEALER. SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2005 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION, SENSORS, FUEL FILTER AND HAD TO PUT ON ROTORS TWICE SINCE I PURCHASE MY MILEAGE IS 69,000. I AM ASKING FOR INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS CAR TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT I WAS SOLD A LEMON. *JB | |
