THIS HAS HAPPEND IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP AND PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER HAVE BEEN CONTACTED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT IS DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE, WHICH MAKES IT COSTLY TO REPAIR.

WE TURNED OUT A DRIVEWAY, TURNED TO AVOID A COLLISION AND DEFLECTED OFF THE CURB. DRIVE ANOTHER 6 BLOCKS AND REALIZED TIRE DIDN'T HAVE AIR. RIM WAS BROKE AND TIRE DEFLATED. UPON REPAIR WAS TOLD BEARING MAY BE DAMAGED. WE DIDN'T RUN OVER THE CURB AND ONLY RUBBED AGAINST IT WHICH BROKE THE ALUMIUM RIM WHICH DEFLATED THE TIRE AND NOW HAVE A BAD BEARING.IN MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS AND I HAVE HIT A FEW CURBS IN MY TIME. *AK

THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS GOING TO A/C COMPRESSOR WHICH RESULTED IN INTERMITTENT POWER PROBLEMS AND BAD AIR CONDITIONING. THE COMPRESSOR WOULD STOP WORKING WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUNNING AND THE COOLING FAN IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WOULD ALWAYS BE RUNNING AT 50 DEGREE TEMPERATURES, WHICH IS ABNORMAL.

DIRVE UNIT MADE A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND TWICE WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICAL JERKED BADLY TWICE, SO HARD I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT IN THE REAR END. IF OTHER CARS WERE FOLLOWING BEHIND THEY COULD HAVE HIT THE CAR BECAUSE THIE JERKING WAS SO VIOLENT THE CAR HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED AND THEN ACCELERATED SEVERAL TIMES, WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHT WARNING. AFTER INITIAL INCIDENT, METAL GRINDING AND KNOCKING NOISES FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE HEARD. THIS METAL KNOCKING SOUND IS NOT A CONSTANT NOISE. DEALER REPAIR IS WRIGHT PONTIAC IN WEXFORD, PA. AFTER ONE WEEK OF HAVING STILL NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. WILL TEAR DOWN THE POWER TRAIN TODAY TO IDENTIFY EXACT CAUSE. *AK

A RATTLING NOISE OCCURRED IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM WHEN DRIVING OVER A WASHBOARD SURFACE. I RETURNED IT 5 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND THEY WORKED ON IT 5 TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE COMPLETE FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY (THE COIL SPRING, SHOCK, STRUT BUSHING 2 OR 3 OTHER TIMES, APPLIED GREASE SEVERAL TIMES ETC). AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OR A WEEK OR SO IT WOULD START RATTLING AGAIN. THE LAST REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON JUNE 26, 2001 IN WHICH THE BOTH STRUT ASSEMBLIES WAS REPLACED. MY CONCERN IS IF THE WEAR OF THE RATTLING PARTS CAUSES A FAILURE TO SUSPENSION WHICH COULD CAUSE A WRECK. PLEASE ADVISE CONCERNING THIS . THANK YOU. *AK

SPEED IS A QUESTION BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STRUCK FROM AN ONCOMING CAR AVERAGING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 35- 45 MPH WHILE I WAS JUST STARTING TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN WE COLLIEDED. NEITHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO SEND DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF THE CAR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE I CAN E-MAIL OR SEND BY POST OFFICE THE PHOTOS. THE ESTIMATED DAMAGE IS ABOUT $8,000.-$10,000. IN DAMAGES. THE FINAL REPORT HAS NOT YET BEEN FILED. THE CAR WAS NOT TOTALED, BUT SHOULD BE ON THE FACT THAT THEIR IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH AN AUTOMOTIVE DESIGNER ( FROM FORD, PREVIOUSLY FROM GM) WHO HAS VIEWED THE PHOTOS AND HAS STATED THAT AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE AND THAT THE CAR IS NOT UNREPAIRABLE, BUT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS SHOULD MAKE THE CAR TOTALED.

MY 6 YR. OLD DAUGHTER GOT HER NECK CAUGHT IN THE SEATBELT AFTER UNDOING IT TO HAND ME AN ICE CREAM CUP. I HEARD HER MURMUR AND LOOKED BACK, SHE WAS STRANGLING AND COULD NOT TALK. I SLOWED THE CAR CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE BELT FROM TIGHTENING AROUND HER NECK ANY TIGHTER AND GOT OUT TO HELP HER. I WAS UNABLE TO HELP HER BECAUSE THE BELT WAS AUTOMATICALLY TIGHTENING AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. A MAN IN ANOTHER VEHICLE STOPPED AND ASKED IF I NEEDED HELP. HE HAD A KNIFE AND WE HAD TO CUT THE SEATBELT OFF MY CHILD. BY THAT TIME, MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO BREATHE OR SPEAK. SHE ENDED UP WITH CERVICAL ABRASIONS, A VERTABRA OUT IN HER NECK, AND WE HAD TO WATCH HER FOR CLOSED HEAD INJURY SYMPTOMS. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANOTHER CHILD. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A RELEASE LEVER TO RELEASE THE TENSION ON THE SHOULDER PART OF THE BELT, SHE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN FREED. IF I HADN'T HAVE HEARD HER MURMUR OR IF A MAN DID NOT STOP WITH A KNIFE, MY DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH. I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE CAR MANUFACTURER AND ALSO TO THE CONSUMER PRODUCTS SAFETY COMMISSION. I ATTEMPTED TO GET A POLICE REPORT TAKEN BUT I WAS TOLD RATHER RUDELY BY THE STATE POLICE AND THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE THAT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE A REPORT ON SUCH A THING. MORE OR LESS WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME IS THAT MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE IS NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO MAKE A REPORT ABOUT. I HAVE NO UD-10 FROM THE POLICE BUT I DO HAVE THE DOCTOR'S NOTES AND PICTURES OF MY DAUGHTERS NECK AND THE CUT SEATBEL

I WAS REGISTERED WITH PONTIAC FOR RECALL NOTIFICATION. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS SEATBELT REPLACEMENT CAMPAIGN. I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIBERTY PONTIAC LAST WEEK FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED THE PONTIAC RECALL HOTLINE, THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. HAD I NOT TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR UNRELATED REPAIRS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH DEFECTIVE SEATBELTS.*AK

ENGINE STALLS, ALL POWER ON VEHICLE IS LOST WITH NO LIGHTS. SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN TURNING BUT NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. DEALER HAS CONTACTED MANUFACTOR TECH. SERVICE AND FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER, PROBLEM PERSISTS. CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER AS I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PUTS MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. *AK

GMC IS REPURCHASING CAR BECAUSE IT STALLS FOR NO REASON. IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING SOMETIMES. NO CODES ARE PRESENT TO DIAGNOSE PER DEALER. CAR IS A SAFETY HAZZARD. CAR IS A LEMON. DEALER CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

"POPPING" OR "CLUNKING" NOISE FROM FRONT END WHILE ACCELERATING IN REVERSE. SOMETIMES ACCELERATING FORWARD. VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN ACCELERATING. POSSIBLE LOOSE MOTOR MOUNT. LEFT FRONT STRUT BUSHING WAS REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS.*AK

DUAL AIR CONTROL BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN TEMPERATURE IS SET ANYWHERE BETWEEN 65 AN 90. SOMETIMES ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL BLOW HOT WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE ADJUSTS TO CORRESPONDING TEMPERATURE SET. *AK

WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE IS RUNNING, IT IS SUPPOSED TO CHIME WHEN A DOOR IS OPENED, BUT ONLY CHIMES SOMETIMES. ALSO, WHEN COMPUTER FLASHES "LOW" TO INDICATE LOW FUEL, IT SHOULD CHIME 3 TIMES, BUT ONLY CHIMES ONCE IF IT CHIMES AT ALL. AFTER 10 MONTHS, THE DEALER STILL CANNOT FIX IT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 GROUND WIRING SHORTING OUT AT ENGINE REPAIRED, A LEAKING GAS TANK REPLACED,IT HAS LOSS POWER ON ME 7 TIMES TO THIS DATE, THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR MALFUNCTIONED, THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAS MALFUNCTIONED, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, IT HAS HAD A MISS FIRE ON ALL 6 CYLINDERS TWICE, A SPARK PLUG, THE COIL PACK, & A SPARK PLUG WIRE QUIT AT THE SAME TIME THA BRAKE PEDAL HAS BEEN GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE TRIP COMPUTER HAS MALFUNCTIONED TWICE ETC.

IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON PAGE 2-93, UNDER THE "RANGE" SECTION, IT STATES: RANGE:SHOWS HOW MUCH FARTHER YOU CAN TRAVEL WITH THE FUEL YOU HAVE BEFORE REFUELING. WHEN THE RANGE DISPLAYS "L" FOR 40 TO 50 MILES (64.36 TO 80.45KM), THE DISPLAY WILL FLASH THE WORD LOW CONTINUOUSLY AND THE VEHICLE WILL CHIME THREE TIMES. THE RANGE IS CALCULATED FROM THE AVERAGE ECON VALUE TIMES THE FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK.".....THE PROBLEM IS, THE CAR WILL CHIME ONCE SOMETIMES WHEN IT GETS TO "LOW" AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT CHIME AT ALL. THE SAME HAPPENS WITH THE DOORS. IF THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, AND A DOOR IS OPENED, IT SHOULD CHIME. MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL NOT CHIME AT ALL. OTHER TIMES IT MIGHT CHIME ONCE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND EVEN WROTE A LETTER TO GM. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THEY REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NOW THEY ARE STATING THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, AND THAT I DO NOT NEED TO HAVE ANYONE LOOK AT IT. THEY ARE REFUSING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR TO FIX IT. IN MY OPINION, THE FACT THAT IT CHIMES SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS INDICATES THAT THE PRODUCT/SYSTEM IS FAULTY. *AK

LOUD RATTLE IN FRONT, STOPS WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS A RATTLE THAT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. WAS TOLD IT WAS DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE CALIPER, KNOWN PROBLEM BY THE DEALER. WAITED MONTHS FOR A FIX WHICH WAS UNSUCESSFUL. CURRENTLY NO FIX AVAILABLE. CONCERNED ABOUT IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK
