Pontiac Torrent Electrical System Safety Report | Dec 01, 2008
Reported on Dec 01, 2008
| HI, MY NAME IS ASHLEY ADAMS. I LIVE IN GREENVILLE, AL. I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE LOVED GM VEHICLES SINCE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONE. I HAVE HAD A CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO, 2 CAVALIERS, AND NOW MY TORRENT. THE TORRENT IS THE FIRST NEW VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS OUT OF MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN SEPTEMBER 2006. IT WAS IN THE SHOP TWICE WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM. WELL MY DEALER CLOSED SO I HAD TO BRING IT TO THE LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER HERE. THE MAIN PROBLEM I AM HAVING NOW WITH IT IS THAT WHEN I TURN THE KEY OVER TO CRANK, IT SEEMS LIKE IT KEEPS TRYING TO CRANK. ALSO, THE VOLUME UP BUTTON ONLY WORKS ABOUT 10% OF THE TIME, THE HEATER/AIR WHEN YOU TURN IT ON JUST THE FEET, DOESN'T BLOW ON JUST THE FEET. IT DOES NOT CHANGE FROM WHEN YOU PUT IT ON THE FEET AND FROM WHEN YOU PUT IT ON THE FEET/DEFROST. I AM JUST NOT HAVING ANY LUCK WITH MY TORRENT! I AM ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM BETTING THAT THEY ARE PUTTING ME OFF TILL MY WARRANTY IS UP. I HAVE READ MANY DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ONLINE. ALOT OF THEM HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIRS CRANKING PERIOD. SOME LIVING IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND END UP FREEZING COLD BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE WON'T CRANK. I AM PREGNANT AND I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE! I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT ONE THAT WON'T CRANK AND ME SITTING IN MY CAR FREEZING WITH AN INFANT! PLEASE HELP! I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE TO TURN TO. *TR | |
