Pontiac Torrent Electronic Stability Control Safety Report | Sept 21, 2010
Reported on Sept 21, 2010
| I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT (CHEVROLET EQUINOX) THAT EXPERIENCES WILD ENGINE / TRANSMISSION / BRAKING BEHAVIOR DURING RAIN STORMS. THE BEHAVIOR IS THE ENGINE CUT-OUT + ANTILOCK BRAKES ALL AT ONCE, ALL FOUR TIRES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 20 TIMES, I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NEW AND IT HAS 89,000 MILES ON IT NOW. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR OF STABILITY CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THE MECHANIC SAID THEY GET ABOUT ONE COMPLAINT A WEEK LIKE MINE, AND GM REFUSES TO ISSUE UPDATED SOFTWARE FOR THE STABILITY CONTROL, HOWEVER THE MECHANIC SAID HE KNOWS THERE IS A FIX FOR THE 2009 CARS. *TR | |
