“There have been more than I can count on both hands to the incidents that this care has stalled.

NHTSA complaint #10326920, filed 2010-04, 92,000 miles“All I did was park my car in a hotel parking lot and went into the lounge. About 10 minutes later the intercom was saying a Pontiac was on fire.

NHTSA complaint #10222513, filed 2008-03, 100,000 miles“Smelling gasoline when car was parked in garage. The smell was variable but seemed to be stronger when weather was hot.

NHTSA complaint #10286171, filed 2009-10, 175,000 miles“My 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix has a fuel pump resistor problem which is quiet common because of it's location.

NHTSA complaint #10168657, filed 2006-09, 78,000 miles“I was driving along,and suddenly without warning,the engine died...naturally the power steering and power brakes didn't work, but I managed to get the car over to the curb. I tried to start it and it started just fine, so I took it home, I was nervous after that driving it ! Because after that it continued to stall several more times when I was driving it, I never knew when it would happen. So I couldn't go out of town in it that's for sure ! I spent quite a bit of money for mechanics to work on it, but since it didn't show a code of any kind, no one could fix it for me. …”
