2008 Pontiac Grand Prix

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,500. UPDATED 01/12/16*LJ *TR

MY GRAND PRIX RECENTLY STARTED TO DISPLAY A MESSAGE STATING REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING RANDOMLY FOR THE PAST WEEK. IT ONLY HAPPENS AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR. THE CAR SLOWS DRAMATICALLY, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. AS I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY, I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 MPH, I HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE TRAFFIC QUICKLY CAUGHT UP TO ME AND I WAS ALMOST HIT DUE TO THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING. I AM CURIOUS AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER AND FINDING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE FILED, OR HOW MANY DEATHS NEED TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR.

2008 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PROBLEMS. *SMD THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THEY DO NOT REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. ALL THEY DO, IS INSERT A SMALL PLASTIC RING IN THE KEY, SO THE CONSUMER CANNOT ATTACH A LARGER KEY RING TO THE KEY. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED IT WAS VERY DECEPTIVE AND IT WENT AGAINST THE INTENT OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. *JB

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANYWHERE, IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAY. THE INFORMATION MESSAGE CENTER CHIMES THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO 25MPH. WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS, THE LAST 2 DEALERSHIPS. ALL THE CODES ARE THROTTLE RELATED AND I GET THE CAR BACK AFTER A WEEK OR 2 AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. NO ONE CAN FIX IT. I HAVE EMAILED GM THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY EMAIL. I ATTACHED ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS WITH THE EMAIL HOPING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP. SLOWING ME FROM 70MPH DOWN TO 25MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (US131) WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SOONER NOT LATER. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. GM DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, NO ONE CAN FIX THE CAR AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF MONEY FOR REPAIRS.

LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST RUN OFF ROAD. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE GM RECALL #14291 CONCERNING THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE HDM WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE RECALL NOT COVER MY 2008 PONTIAC AT THIS TIME. WAS TOLD "UNDER INVESTIGATION". THIS NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED BY GM OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SINCE IT IS A DEADLY MATTER. SUDDEN LOSS OF LIGHTS AT HIGHER SPEEDS WILL CAUSE DEATHS.

ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2014 AROUND 6:45PM I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. A TRUCK CUT ME ALMOST CRASHING INTO ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND. I MOVED OVER I COULDN'T SEE THE CAR STOPPED IN THE OTHER LANE. FROM THE BIG TRUCK INFRONT OF ME. I HIT THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK MADE CLICKING SOUND. I REARENDED A VEHICLE, THEY SLIGHTLY HIT A CAR INFRONT OF THEM. MY AIRBAG, SHOT MY HAND THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD EXTREME ARM PAIN. I HAD SEEN A GRAY PIECE OF METAL IN MY ARM, I WENT TO THE ER. I STILL FEEL MOVEMENT IN IT. I'M FOLLOWING UP WITH MY DR. SINCE THE ACCIDENT. NEXT WILL BE A SURGEON OR SPECIALTY DR. *TR

ON AUGUST 7, 2010 AFTERNOON MY MOTHER LET ME BORROW HER CAR TO RUN SOME ERRANDS WHEN A YOUNG MAN RAN A RED LIGHT AND T- BONED THE CAR AND IT ALMOST FLIP THE CAR OVER I HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER I HIT MY HEAD , DUE TO THE ACCIDENT I HAVE BEEN OFF WORK FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS .DUE TO MY INJURIES I'VE HAD ONE BACK SURGERY AND WILL NEED ANOTHER ONE, I HAVE TO HAVE NECK SURGERY IN JULY. I AM IN CONSTANT PAIN ALL EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST ALMOST FIVE YEARS. I FILED A LAWSUIT AND ONLY RECEIVED FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE PAIN SUFFERING I'M GOING THROUGH, WHO DO I NEED TO TALK TO.

MY VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT MY RACK AND PINON ASSEMBLY COLUMN NEEDS REPLACING BECAUSE OF A LEAK. MY AIRBAGS INTERMITTENT WORK WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY CAR DOES THIS WEIRD JERKING MOTION WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. I NOT SURE IF IT'S MY TRANSMISSION OR MY ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE AND I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY CHANGES. I WAS GM WOULD ADDRESS MY CONCERNS BECAUSE I AM GREATLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILIES.
