No check engine lights are on the vehicle and it has 150,000 miles. It turns right back on when this happens, not sure what’s happening I lose all power to my car, checked the battery and alternator and they are perfectly fine.

When I was gassing up my car, a fuel leak occurred in the gas tank and my car caught on fire. The gas station attendant used a fire extinguisher to put the fire out. I had 113,262 miles on my car. As you can see, the leak in the plastic gas tank caused the gas tank fuel pump to burn up and burn up its wiring harness. I don't want any money but I just thought the NHTSA should know. I do not need money because my insurance company will be reimbursing me for my total loss of the car.

My steering column makes a vibrating noise... This happened after the red security light came on the left part of the dash.... Also since I purchased it in july there has been an issue with the key not starting it right away usually have to wait ten seconds or even up to 30 seconds before you can start my vehicle. I'm looking to prevent any accident before it occurs. I do not want my car locking up on me. I prefer safety over speed.

On three separate occasions in the past two months, my vehicle has turned off while driving. the steering wheel locked up and the car turned off. on all three occasions I was coming either to a stop sign or traffic light with my foot on the brake, about to make a right turn. thankfully, I was not yet in the intersection when this happened. I believe the issue IS related to the ignition switch recall issued by gm. some time in 2015 I did make an appointment with northstar chevrolet in clifton park, ny to have the issue resolved, assuming that they were actually going to repair the ignition. I notified them that I did have issues with turning the key when trying to turn the car on. they said it was not related, that it was an old car and the ignition had worn a certain way - that's why the key didn't always turn easily. they said the recall repair was to make the hole in the key smaller so that I couldn't have heavy items attached to my key. they looked at what I did have on my key chain and said the weight should be fine, it was mainly for people that had dozens of keys or very heavy items on the key ring. I left without any changes to my key. now, in march and april 2017 I've had more serious issues with my car turning off. I also have problems with turning my car on if the key IS not pushed up in the ignition before being turned. this IS the case even without anything else attached to the key when trying to turn the car on. I am fearful of driving my car without having this properly repaired, yet the dealership insists that they are only permitted to perform the specified repair to the key itself, but will not be able to make any repairs to the car itself under the recall, even though it's the ignition switch on the car that IS not making proper contact to turn the car on. I need my faulty ignition switch replaced before I have an accident.

We are having issues when we use our turn signals. Most of the time our signals don't won't work unless we wiggle (with force) our hazard light button. Then we hear buzzing and crackling that IS mostly continuous in our hazard button. This happens when we are driving or sitting still. It does stop clicking when we shut the car off, but does often continue when we start our car back off. The crackling/buzzing noise has went on for as long as 15 minutes . I'm sure it would have gone on for longer, but we wiggled the hazard button and places a folded piece of paper to lodge it quiet. We have an extremely hard time using our turn signals at times, they just quit working unless we wiggle our hazard light button.. All of this happens with normal day to day driving. *tr

'M writing to notify gm about a dangerous issue with my 2001 pontiac grand am. the security system activates preventing the car to stop for 10 minutes until it resets, causing many work related issues. this security issue prevents the fuel pump from activating, allowing the car to start. The problem has gotten so severe, the car now shuts down mid drive while on the interstate. living in louisville, tn away 10 hours from home, I have no other choice but to keep using this vehicle to get back and forth from work. now I'm forced to remain in the outside lane to quickly get over onto the shoulder when the car shuts off. this has happened no less than 15 times a week, almost causing an almost fatal accident. I've been to a trusted mechanic where we replaced the ecm two separate times, but the issue still persists. Has there been many issues reported about the car stopping in the middle of a drive?

I was involved in a car accident as a passenger on 10/25/2001 in which the steering column locked up on our 2001 grand am as we were driving causing us to lose control of the car and flip down hill. My father and my brother were front passengers and I was the rear seat passenger of the car and was ejected out of the back window. The airbags never deployed. After being ejected from the rear window of the car I suffered a broken pelvic bone, a bleeding brain with permanent brain damage, internal bruises on my lungs, my liver, and my kidneys, and the top 3 discs and bottom 3 discs in my back popped out of place. I had to be air lifted to shands hospital in gainesville florida where I remained until 11/20/2001. During the the time between 10/25/2001 and 11/20/2001 I was in a coma, had to be fed intraveinously, and was placed on life support. I was transported to shands rehab hospital in gainesville fl, on 11/20/2001 and was released from shands rehab hospital 11/30/2015 in wheelchair and body brace. I had to have outpatient vocational rehabilitation therpay due to my brain injuries after being released from the hospital. I recently learned that the vehicle that I was involved in the accident has been recalled by general motors due to a faulty iginition switch that causes the vehicle to lose power which causes drivers to not be able to control the steering of the vehicle and am submitting this claim because of this finding. There have been several other claims agains general motor regarding the same vehicle model. I have uploaded the fhp report as well as pictures post accident of the vehicle.

Odi opened ea 02-028 to review complaints of consumers reporting that their fuel gauge was incorrectly displaying the amount of fuel in the gas tank.the fuel gauge receives an electrical signal from a fuel tank sending sensor circuit card.a float arm in the tank moves electrical contacts that rub against the card as the level of fuel rises and falls.disruption of the electrical signal (such as caused by corrosion of the circuit card) will cause incorrect readings to register on the fuel gauge.gm reported in their response to odi dated january 13, 2003 that the primary cause of erratic fuel gauge operation IS excess elemental sulfur in fuel.gm reported that abnormal levels of sulfur sporadically occurred in certain parts of canada and the u.s. Resulting in reports of fuel gauge malfunction.gm modified the sending sensor for vehicles built after october 2000.it made a second sensor modification for vehicles built after january 2003.gm also issued a customer satisfaction campaign (gm number 00101) in december 2000 for u.s. Customers in the state of maine and issued several service bulletins informing dealers of the availability of sensors with improved corrosion resistance.the complaint trend indicates that complaints peaked in late 2000 to early 2001.warranty claims declined since peaking in april 2002.based on the number of complaints and the indication of a declining trend, further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
