Pontiac Grand Prix Power Train Safety Report | Sept 04, 2012
Reported on Sept 04, 2012
| WHILE TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION MY CAR WOULD NOT TAKE OFF FROM STOP, TRANSMISSION THEN GRABBED AND JERKED INTO FIRST GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A WHILE, IT ALSO JERKS INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. SEEMS TO ONLY DO IT WHEN TRANSMISSION IS HOT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO GM DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT FOR AROUND $3,000, MY CAR HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY RUN OUT AT 72,000 MILES AND I NOW HAVE 80,000 MILES. I DID PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR | |
