Pontiac Torrent Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Oct 01, 2012
Reported on Oct 01, 2012
| WE ALSO HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH A STRONG GAS SMELL. WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING OUR VEHICLE DID QUALIFY FOR THE 12V-459 RECALL BUT WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID IT DIDN'T. WE WERE THEN DIRECTED TO GM'S MAIN OFFICE WHERE MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD YEAH IT DID QUALIFY AND AN ESCALATION DEPARTMENT WOULD BE CALLING HIM BACK TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. WELL LOW AND BEHOLD HE GETS A CALL TODAY AND IS TOLD NO THE CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY. NOW HOW IN THE HECK DID WE GET A LETTER WITH OUR VIN NUMBER SAYING IT QUALIFIES AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DOESN'T? WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A GAS LEAK AS THE SMELL IS RIDICULOUS. MY HUSBAND IS A CANCER SURVIVOR FOR GODS SAKE. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT STATES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT QUALIFYING FOR THE RECALL I THINK ITS OBVIOUS THAT LIMITING THE RECALL TO CERTAIN STATES IS BOGUS, AND WHOEVER DOESN'T THINK OKLAHOMA IS A WARM WEATHER STATE HAS OBVIOUSLY NEVER VISITED OK IN THE SUMMER. ITS HOT AS HECK WITH 3 DIGIT TEMPS FOR WEEKS AS A TIME! I HOPE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT GETS UNDERWAY! *TR | |
