| 2002 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | UNABLE TO EXTRACT KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK. IN MOST FAILURES, I HAVE HAD TO RESTART THE CAR AND GO BACK THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS AND PUT IT BACK INTO PARK THEN REMOVE THE KEY. I WORK WITH AN INDIVIDUAL WITH THE SAME YEAR CAR AND SHE RECENTLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE. HER CAR WAS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM IT WOULD HAVE COST OVER $1000 IF SHE HAD NOT HAD THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE RELATES TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING FULLING INTO PARK. |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN | I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC GRANDPRIX GXP THAT I PURCHASED NEW AND AS OF 5-28-13 I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY 54000 MILES WHEN ON 5-28-13 AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I TURNED RIGHT AND THE CAR ONLY BEGAN TO CRAWL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THE LEFT LANE WAS OPEN TO SWERVE AROUND ME, BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY THE CARS WHERE BEEPING AND SWERVING TO AVOID ME AS I COULD ONLY GO 5MPH. LATER THAT DAY I DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY TO THE DEALERSHIP JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. I WOULD THINK IT SHOULD LAST ALOT IF NOT DOUBLE THE 54000 MILES I CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD COST ME 3500 TO REPLACE!! AFTER BEING FRUSTRATED AND THINKING WHAT IF THE LEFT LANE WAS NOT OPEN, WHERE WOULD I BE THEN, DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE TONS IF NOT ALL OF THE GXP VERSION OF THE PONTIAC GRANDPRIX WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, HOW COME THERE'S NOT AN RECALL, THIS CAN DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE WITH NO PRE WARNING SIGNS, AS I EXPERIENCED A NEAR MISS. *TR |
