Pontiac Grand Prix Power Train Safety Report | Mar 05, 2012
Reported on Mar 05, 2012
| I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP W/5.3L V8. CURRENTLY HAS 45,000 MILES JUST RECENTLY STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. FROM A DEAD STOP TRANS WILL SLIP, THAN SLAM INTO GEAR, ALSO SHUTTERS BETWEEN 1-2, AND SOMETIMES FROM 3-4. CAR DOES CURRENTLY HAVE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH CAR. SO CAR WILL BE GOING IN FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY (I HOPE) AFTER READING ONLINE IN A GM OWNER FORUM FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION WITH GM TRANSMISSION FAILURES WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE A RECALL COME OF THIS. BECAUSE SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE.. IT WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED WITHOUT WARNING, AND MAY BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. IT SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS DESIGNED TO BE MATED TO A V6 ENGINE. NOT TO BE MATED TO A 5.3L V8. *TR | |
