Pontiac Grand Prix Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Sept 30, 2011
Reported on Sept 30, 2011
| I HAVE A 2005 GRAND PRIX GXP IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE LAST YEAR BECAUSE IT WOULD HESITATE FROM A STOP AND SLAM VIOLENTLY INTO FIRST GEAR. AT THE TIME THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE CONCERN AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT GOT WORSE. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED SEPARATELY FROM GMPP EXPIRED ON THE 22ND OF SEPTEMBER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY ON THE GXP MODEL WHICH HAS OVER 300 HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE STEER THAT IS HARD TO CONTROL WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR. *KB | |
