Pontiac Grand Prix Equipment Other Owners/service/other Manual Safety Report | Feb 25, 2000
Reported on Feb 25, 2000
| IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON PAGE 2-93, UNDER THE RANGE SECTION, IT STATES: RANGE:SHOWS HOW MUCH FARTHER YOU CAN TRAVEL WITH THE FUEL YOU HAVE BEFORE REFUELING. WHEN THE RANGE DISPLAYS L FOR 40 TO 50 MILES (64.36 TO 80.45KM), THE DISPLAY WILL FLASH THE WORD LOW CONTINUOUSLY AND THE VEHICLE WILL CHIME THREE TIMES. THE RANGE IS CALCULATED FROM THE AVERAGE ECON VALUE TIMES THE FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK. .....THE PROBLEM IS, THE CAR WILL CHIME ONCE SOMETIMES WHEN IT GETS TO LOW AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT CHIME AT ALL. THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THE DOORS. IF THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, AND A DOOR IS OPENED, IT SHOULD CHIME. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT CHIME AT ALL. OTHER TIMES IT MIGHT CHIME ONCE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND EVEN WROTE A LETTER TO GM. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THEY REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NOW THEY ARE STATING THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, AND THAT I DO NOT NEED TO HAVE ANYONE LOOK AT IT. THEY ARE REFUSING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR TO FIX IT. IN MY OPINION, THE FACT THAT IT CHIMES SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS INDICATES THAT THE PRODUCT/SYSTEM IS FAULTY. *AK | |
