“My 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix has been in for service 3 times for system charging failure, the car looses power, the light flashings, looses, power, looses radio, looses blower motor for heater. I have brought it into the dealer 3 times, they have had it for 3 day's so far this week and can not find a problem with it. I looked on the internet and found that I am not the only person with this problem and I am not the only person that can't get the problem solved.”
