Pontiac Pontiac Fuel System, Other Safety Report | Mar 28, 2004
Reported on Mar 28, 2004
| I HAVE A 2003 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN MAY 2003. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE MORE THAN 4 TIMES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. MY CAR AT TIMES HESITATES BEFORE STARTING OTHER TIMES MAKES WEIRD POPPING NOISES AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKES MAKE A POPPING NOISE. EVERYTIME A SERVICE MECHANIC CHECKED FOR THOSE PROBLEMS THEY WERE NOT DUPLICATED. THEN I NOTICED ONE DAY THAT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR WAS SOAKED!!!!! I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE WATER WAS DRAINING IT CAUSED MY FLOOR TO GET SOAKED EVERYTIME IT RAINED. THE DEALER FIXED THAT. NOW IT'S A FEW MONTHS LATER AND I'M DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR JUST DIES COMPLETELY CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING NO WARNING AT ALL! NO SHOULDER FOR ME TO PULL OFF ON !!!!VERY DANGEROUS. I TRY TO START MY CAR AND IT DOES NOT EVEN TURN OVER. I GET TOWED TO THE DEALER WERE THEY TELL ME THAT MY SENSOR WAS BAD, IT READ I HAD A LITTLE LESS THAN AN 1/2 OF TANK BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS EMPTY. THE DEALER PUT A SENSOR IN AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK UP MY CAR. I STILL DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS MORE THAN THE SENSOR. MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY DIED WITH NO WARNING. NO HESITATION NOTHING, MY FUEL LIGHT WAS NOT ON! MY CAR WOULD NOT EVEN TURN OVER. WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS IT STILL TURNS OVER IT DIDN'T! I HOPE THAT MY CAR IS COMPLETELY FIXED THAT WAS MY REASON FOR BUYING A NEW CAR, I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THIS CAR A YEAR AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SIGNS THAT I MAY HAVE A LEMON!*AK | |
