Pontiac Grand Prix Engine Safety Report | Nov 12, 2012
Reported on Nov 12, 2012
| CAR STALLED AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED ONLY INDICATION WAS HARD TO STEER AND HARD TO BRAKE BECAUSE OF ENGINE STALLING. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND PIN POINT TEST. REPLACED CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND IGNITION CONTROL MODULE. THE CAR AGAIN STALLED ON THEM WITH NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATIONS ONLY THAT STATED ABOVE. THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR STALLS WHEN WARM AND NO TIED TO ANY SPECIFIC SPEED. THIS CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 55 MPH. CURRENTLY HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALERSHIP STILL HAS THE CAR AND CURRENTLY NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR ON THE GRAND PRIX FOR YEARS 1998 TO 2007 WITH NO ANSWER TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT PUTS ALL DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IN SERIOUS HARM AND COULD SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A CAR STALLING AT ANYTIME. I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK AND THE IGNITION COILS AND WIRES ALONG WITH THE SPARK PLUGS WITH THE SAME RESULT OF CAR STALLING WHEN CAR REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURES. *TR | |
