Pontiac Grand Prix Electrical System Safety Report | Mar 01, 2010
Reported on Mar 01, 2010
| KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION AT 85,000 MILES. CAR WAS IN PARK AND ENGINE WAS OFF (THOUGH KEY WOULD NOT TURN ALL THE WAY BACK TO IT'S NORMAL OFF POSITION). HAD TO REMOVE BOTTOM COVER ON STEERING COLUMN IN ORDER TO PRESS A BUTTON ON SOLENOID TO RELEASE THE KEY. THIS IS NOW CONSISTENTLY HAPPENING EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. CONSIDERING REMOVING SOLENOID COMPLETELY TO BYPASS THIS SAFETY FEATURE. DEALER IS GOING TO CHARGE AT LEAST $300 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE COMPANY SHOULD STRIVE TO PRODUCE A HIGHER QUALITY PRODUCT. *TR | |
