Pontiac Grand Prix Power Train Safety Report | June 03, 2009
Reported on June 03, 2009
| THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN I CAN COUNT ON BOTH HANDS TO THE INCIDENTS THAT THIS CARE HAS STALLED. IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. SO, I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TRY AND START THE CAR. WHICH IT WILL START THEN SPUTTER AND STALL AND DIE. IT HAS HAD A NEW COMPUTER, 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS, FUEL RESISTOR, FUEL RELAY SWITCHES, STARTER, SUPERCHARGER, 2 FUSE BOXES WHICH ARE A DISCONTINUED PART THAT HAS TO COME FROM AN AUTO WRECKER, AND RECENTLY A WIRE THAT WAS FRAYED BEHIND THE FUSE BOX THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. ALL THIS HAS BEEN DONE WITHIN THE LAST 10 MONTHS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR ON PAYMENTS ON JUNE 1, 2009. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT SURE AS OF THIS LAST REPAIR IF IT HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. MY MAIN CONCERN IS IF I WERE DRIVING ON A WINDY MOUNTAINOUS ROAD WITH NO TURNOUTS AND THE CAR DECIDED IT WANTED TO STALL, WHERE WOULD I GO OR DO. BECAUSE A CAR OR BIG RIG COULD BE COMING AROUND THE TURN AND NOT EVEN KNOW I WAS STOPPED. MY LIFE AND ANY OTHER DRIVERS OR PASSENGERS WOULD BE IN JEOPARDY OF BEING INJURED AND/OR KILLED. THIS CAR TO ME IS VERY UNSAFE AND I AM STUCK WITH PAYMENTS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD OR EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN RESOLVED. *TR | |
