| 2004 | WHEELS | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED. THE MECHANIC STATED THE WHEELS WERE CORRODED AND WOULD NOT SEAL THE TIRE IN PROPERLY, CAUSING THEM TO LOOSE AIR CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN | LOOKED AT TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAUGE TO SEE THE TRANS TEMP WAS 208 DEGREES. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A TRANS LINE REPLACEMENT WHICH WAS DONE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW WHEN CAR IS COLD I FEEL SLIPPAGE WHEN GIVING THE CAR GAS GOING UP AN INCLINE. IF YOU GO TO EDMOUNDS.COM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANS LINE THAT WAS REPLACED HAS A FEW FINS BUILD INTO THE LINE. THIS DOES NOT HELP THE TRANSMISSION STAY ANY COOLER. 208 DEGREES IS WAY TO HOT FOR A TRANSMISSION TO BE RUN AND HOLD UP. IT BURNS UP THIS TORQUE CONVERTER UP THEN TAKES THE TRANSMISSION OUT. PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS COSTLY TO HAVE A TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I WAS TOLD A TRANS COOLER WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR |
