PONTIAC TORRENT 2008 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Report #10329313

PONTIAC TORRENT 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2010.PONTIAC TORRENT 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND IN A NORMAL MANNER. AS I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AT FIRST THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AS IF THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. THE CAR CONTINUED MOVING AT THE SAME SPEED. AS I CONTINUED TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR DID SLOW DOWN, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT FEEL NORMAL. THE PEDAL FELT AS IF IT WERE MOVING THROUGH SOME SORT OF THICK LIQUID. THE INCIDENT LASTED A FEW SECONDS. I HAD TO MAKE THE TURN AT A SPEED THAT WAS TOO HIGH. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. SINCE THEN, THE BRAKES HAVE BEHAVED NORMALLY. I HAD THE DEALER CHECK MY BRAKES. THEY FOUND NOTHING AND CHARGED ME FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE, THEY CLAIM, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED GM IN RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT. AT GM'S INSTRUCTIONS, MY BRAKES WERE CHECKED AGAIN AND AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND. TODAY, A GM REPRESENTATIVE DROVE THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. THE APPROACH HAS BEEN TO TRY TO REPRODUCE THE ERROR. SINCE THE BRAKES NOW WORK, THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG TO CAUSE THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE COMPANY HAS DONE ALL THEY INTEND TO DO AND I AM LEFT DRIVING A CAR UNDER WARRANTY THAT HAS SOME KIND OF BRAKE DEFECT. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURS, I CAN AVOID AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF THE FAILURE. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT TO HAPPEN. *TR.Mileage was 28000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2CKDL33F886. Pontiac Torrent 2008 problem was reported in DELAWARE, OH. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.

PONTIAC TORRENT Tires

PONTIAC TORRENT 2008 Tires Report #10451113

PONTIAC TORRENT 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 10, 2012.PONTIAC TORRENT 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with TIRES . I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES IN FEBRUARY 2010 THAT WERE RATED AT 80,000 MILES. I HAD THEM ROTATED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I JUST WENT IN FOR ANOTHER TIRE ROTATION WHICH DISCOUNT TIRE REFUSED TO PERFORM DUE TO THE UNSAFE CONDITION OF MY TIRES. I ONLY GOT 36,982 MILES OUT OF THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES, WHICH WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RATED AT 80,000 MILES. IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT I DID NOT GET EVEN CLOSE TO THE NUMBER OF MILES RATED ON THE TIRES, I FOUND OUT THAT BRIDGESTONE HAD CHANGED THE RATING ON THE TIRES TO 0 MILES. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT BRIDGESTONE DID NOT INFORM ME, AS THE CUSTOMER, OF THIS QUALITY/SAFETY CONCERN ON THE TIRES. INSTEAD I HAD TO HEAR OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES FROM DISCOUNT TIRE AT THE TIME OF ROTATION. LASTLY, THE FACT THAT BRIDGESTONE CHANGED THE RATING ON THE TIRES FROM 80,000 MILES TO 0 MILES IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE BRIDGESTONE COMPANY THAT THERE IS A WEAR CONCERN WITH THESE TIRES. DISCOUNT TIRE INFORMED ME THAT BRIDGESTONE WOULD ONLY GIVE ME CREDIT FOR $37.00 TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF EACH NEW TIRE. A WEAR CONCERN SUCH AS THIS WOULD MAKE ME EXPECT A RECALL NOTICE AND NEW TIRES WOULD BE PROVIDED TO ME AT THE EXPENSE OF BRIDGESTONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM APPALLED AT BRIDGESTONE'S CONDUCT. OBVIOUSLY BRIDGESTONE DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR TIRES. I HAVE DONE MY PART AND ROTATED THE TIRES ON THE SCHEDULE: ROTATED: SEPTEMBER 2010 AT 56,018, ROTATED:MARCH 2011 AT 64729, ROTATED: MAY 2011 AT 67,866, ROTATED: SEPTEMBER 2011 AT 74,296, NEW TIRES PURCHASED: MARCH 2012 AT 83,620. *TR *JS.Mileage was 83620 miles.
