2007 Pontiac Torrent

KEY DOES NOT ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND WHEN STOPPED THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT. STEERING WHEEL IS NOT LOCKED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO STOP THE VEHICLE ALWAYS ON A FLAT SURFACE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE , THEN TURN THE KEY AND IT WILL COME OUT THAT WAY. THAT IS RIDICULOUS AND IT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

THE WIRES WHICH POWER THE DOOR WINDOW MOTOR, ELECTRIC LOCKS AND DOOR SPEAKERS BROKE INSIDE THE RUBBER BOOT ASSEMBLY WHICH ATTACHES THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE DOOR AND THE DOOR FRAME. PERFORMING AN ONLINE GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC TO THE 2006-2009 PONTIAC TORRENT. I HAVE REPAIRED THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS BUT THEY BROKE AGAIN, JANUARY OF 2015. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING TO TINKER AIR FORCE BASE WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. WE COMPLETED OUR GROCERY SHOPPING AND LEFT TO MAKE THE 30 PLUS MILE TRIP HOME. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO BE ON AND I WENT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I EVEN CONTACTED PONTIAC AND THEY TOO SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. SO I STILL DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS KNOWN PROBLEM THAT PONTIAC REFUSES TO SERVICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I-75 A LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH THAT STATED STABILITRAK IS OFF AND ENGINE SPEED WILL BE REDUCED AT WHICH TIME THE CAR JERKED TO A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME. CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THEN SEEMED TO RUN FINE AGAIN UNTIL TODAY 1-14 IN WHICH IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I THOUGHT THIS MAY BE A "SAFE" CAR FOR MY CHILD TO DRIVE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT SEVERAL IF NOT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED? DOES SHE HAVE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE??? *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT, VIN [XXX], THAT APPEARS TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR, SYMPTOMS VERY SIMILAR TO GM RECALL # 07174. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. ABOVE DATE AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE, AS I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTED TO OCCUR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOR SOMETIME MY VEHICLE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN SHOWING A WARNING THAT THEY ARE NOT WORKING AND NEED TO BE SERVICED ,I CALLED PONTIAC BECAUSE AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I SAW THAT THEY HAD A RECALL ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES BUT THEY SAID MINE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS . WELL APPARENTLY IT IS BECAUSE IT ISN'T WORKING CORRECTLY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO HAVE IT CHECKED ,I HAVE TO DO IT AT MY EXPENSE OR JUST WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO FIND OUT. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISH TO START, SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY, THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SAID HE SMELLED GAS, AND AFTER CHECKING IT, HE DETERMINED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEN FOUND OUT IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY CAR IS THE CORRECT YEAR, CORRECT MODEL AND HAS THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS LIMITED TO CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS, HOW IS THAT FAIR. AFTER A BILL OF 1700.00. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES BESIDES THE VIN NUMBERS LISTED. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

JUST GOT THIS TORRENT THREE WEEKS AGO, YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND I LOST A LITTLE POWER. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME, THEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRACK , AND THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED LIGHTS CAME ON. I AM BEYOND UPSET, I GOT IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE DONE BUSINESS WITH FOR YEARS, I AM WAITING ON THEM TO OPEN THIS MORNING TO GIVE THEM A CALL. THE FIRST DAY I GOT THE CAR THE SERVICE PASSENGER AIR BAG CAME ON, I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT MORNING, AND THEY REPLACED A MODULE, NOW THIS!!!!! I'M READING WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN RECALLS ON THIS??? HERE, I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A DEPENDABLE CAR FOR MY FAMILY, ONLY TO BE VERY DISAPPOINTED! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A PONTIAC!!!!! *TR
