PONTIAC TRANS AM 1987 Fuel/propulsion System Report #10468435
PONTIAC TRANS AM 1987 car safety problem was reported on July 22, 2012.PONTIAC TRANS AM 1987, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY FELL TO THE FLOOR WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE THE CAR FOR A RED LIGHT AT 40 MPH WITH OTHER TRAFFIC DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKE LINE TRAVELING ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR HAD RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO CORROSION CAUSING THE BRAKES TO FAIL. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE FUEL LINES WHICH CARRY FUEL AT HIGH PRESSURE AT APPROX. 48PSI ARE ALSO BADLY CORRODED AND LIKELY TO FAIL WITH CATASTROPHIC RESULTS (E.G., FIRE, EXPLOSION, ETC.). THESE BRAKE AND FUEL LINE SAFETY DEFECTS STEM FROM THE FACT THAT GENERAL MOTORS USED INFERIOR BRAKE AND FUEL LINE PARTS (E.G., ORDINARY RUST PRONE STEEL) INSTEAD OF SLIGHTLY COSTLIER STAINLESS STEEL PIPING FOR BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. IN ADDITION, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES ARE ALSO BADLY CORRODING DUE TO GM USING ORDINARY STEEL INSTEAD OF STAINLESS STEEL FOR THESE LINES. NOW, I HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THESE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES REPLACE DUE TO GM USING INFERIOR RUST-PRONE STEEL PARTS INSTEAD OF SLIGHTLY MORE COSTLY CORROSION RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE AND FUEL PIPE LINES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE CORROSION OF BRAKE, FUEL, AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PIPE LINES COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 120158 miles.
