On february 8, 2019, my mother was pulling into a maintenance garage to get an oil change. Upon pulling into the garage, she was unable to stop and her vehicle lunged forward. As a result, he vehicle hit an employee, went through the maintenance garage door, through the parking lot, across a four lane street, and eventually stopped in a field across the street from the oil change venue. This IS an approximate distance of 300 feet. upon further review by my mechanic, it was discovered the ABS system was malfunctioning causing the brake pedal to drop in the car, and the car not to stop. The wiring harness also was cracked resulting in a cut to the ABS wire, causing the ABS malfunction resulting in the car to not stop, and the electrical malfunction which caused the car to speed forward. General motors was notified, but denied responsibility of this claim.

I took my car in for the 2015 recall for the valve cover on 3/1/16. It was about 63,000 at the time this recall service was performed. However, even after the recall was done, oil and engine coolant still leaks from the valve cover and from the front exhaust manifold. I went in to get it checked at the same gm service location that performed the recall in 2015 because the car heats up and they said it would cost over $900 to repair the manifold leak. This recall did not repair the issue as described and continues to be a safety concern. I have not received a notification from the manufacturer to resolve this issue either.

Pontiac oil leak recall I bought a pontiac grand prix. I was driving it home one day when I looked in the mirror and saw smoke so I pulled over as soon as I could. I had an issue with rpms falling as I was trying to find a safe place to pull off the highway. Upon stopping the vehicle the vehicle turned off on its own. I hopped out and when I opened the hood. Thier was a fire that was going under the hood of my car. I put it out as fast as I could. Upon it going out I was able to see that the fire was started by an oil leak. The fire did a fair amount of damage and has caused me to lose my job by me not being able to get to work. I recieved the recall notice about the oil leak 4 months after I had purchased it and after the recall caused the loss of my vehicle. I have contacted gms pontiac customer service to see weather or not they will be replacing or reimbursing for the loss due to thier defect. I cant remember the exact date off hand which IS why I am putting may 2ND as the date.

Recall n140574, case #[xxx] on 2/7/19, my son's car got stuck 2 blocks from home on a residential street. The grand prix was driven there to see if he could be pushed out, and got stuck - along with 4 other cars. We tried to push the car out, but it wouldn't move. We left the car running while trying to push the other vehicles. While walking from the car, we heard popping sounds, and saw a flames under the hood - passenger's side. My friend reached in and shut it off. I called the police. Fire trucks put out the fire, and a tow truck was called to get the car off the snow route and taken to an accident impound. The next day, I called gm and was assigned a case. A week later, I was assigned a pac unit rep, to investigate my case. I have many emails and pictures following my case. Gm has provided a lot of misinformation, lack of communication, and no problem resolve. There were issues involving the title, but I resolved. I had to take the pictures for the investigation, even though I was told reps would be sent over. I went to a local dealership, where the service department tried to contact the pac unit. They also did not respond to him. After many visits to gateway dealership and assistance getting my information to somebody with general motors, it was determined the recall caused the fire. Oil dripped on the manifold. My car still sits in the impound at $30 a day. I have left numerous messages and emails asking for updates and resolve. The last I was told IS that gm would repurchase my car, and send the paperwork to sign. That was 2 weeks ago! the local service rep had to stop helping me due to a job change, so I am left not knowing what IS happening. The pac and gm customer service are not returning calls or responding. Can someone please help?? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *Tt

Odi received a petition from mr. Brad lamb of the north carolina consumers council, requesting investigation of an alleged defect evidenced by shake or bounce of the headlamps on model year 2004 pontiac grand prix vehicles.odi's previous review of this issue in october 2003, determined that it did not warrant investigation.odi's current analysis identified 36 complaints in the consumer complaint database; and a declining trend of reports was evident.a few field reports of similar nature were also submitted by the manufacturer in its early warning reporting data.a service bulletin and a revised headlamp retaining bracket were issued in november 2004, and these actions are seen as appropriate in addressing the problem while all of the subject vehicles are still covered by the new vehicle warranty.compromise to safe vehicle operation as a result of this issue was not identified.it IS unlikely that investigation would result in a nhtsa order for the recall and remedy of this problem.
