2006 Pontiac Torrent Body and structure Problems

“Where to start as it wouldn't let me select more than 3 options. I bought my Torrent in 06 with 65k miles on it and figured that a 40k/ 4 year warranty was a good idea. It was!! It all started when I took it to a car wash a week after buying it, well I exited the car wash and had no throttle with gas peddle, I was stuck. Brought it to the dealer and was told the tubes that allow the sun roof to drain were clogged and water backed up and traveled down the left front pillar and fried the throttle sensor. Replaced it and on I went. …”

“My sunroof drains clogs repeatedly which causes ankle deep water to puddle inside. I had to have it towed from work last month because it would not accelerate after rain leaked everywhere. In addition I had to bum a ride to work because it wouldn't accelerate due to the fact it was wet from the rain. When this happens the traction light comes on causing my car to lose speed. Although pedal is push all the way down to floor it will not accelerate. I would hate to be traveling on interstate and lose speed during rush hour.”

“The upper tailgate spoiler flew off. This is not an added accessory.this is a heavy body component. There was no impact that caused it. Fortunately, to my knowledge, no one behind me was injured.I had no idea it was missing until I discovered it days later. I just went out one morning and noticed it was gone. I have read on line where others have had the same problem. It is dangerous and I feel it needs to be corrected by the manufacturer. The same problem exist on the chevy equinox and perhaps more vehicles from the manufacturer.”

“Blend door for heat broke allowing only cold air. Was unable to defrost the windshield and warm interior. Condition limits visibility. Other models of same year have been recalled. Only fix is to remove the dash and replace broken part.”

“The wiring harness between the body and the driver's door (and front passenger door) is too short, and subsequently stretches and frays and breaks the wires, resulting in failure of various door components including power door lock, power window, side mirror control, radio off when exiting vehicle after driving, door chime when key in ignition, door automatically locking when vehicle in drive position (safety hazard), door unlocking when in park position (exit vehicle safety hazard) and door stereo speakers. …”
