2007 Pontiac Torrent Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The car started shuddering starting at between 35-50 MPH and accelerating, especially when going uphill. It also does it at around 65 MPH. It seems like the transmission isn't wanting to change gears. This issue only happens when I am accelerating slowly. If it starts happening, and I press the gas pedal down a bit further, the car revs up past the problematic speed and is fine. I have had the tires balanced and rotated, the throttle body replaced, and the transmission fluid flushed. None of these solved the problem.”

“We purchased the 2007 Pontiac Torrent on 10/02/2013. The test drive seemed to be fine. We drove the car in the city. The average speed limit is 25-35. We only drive the car to and from work and almost of the time to various drives. When I had to use highway 95 in delaware the car began pulling back and would not shift and from 40-55 (60) the car does not shift from 35-60 all of the time. We had to take the vehicle for inspection on 06/18/2014 we had the vehicle for 6-7 months . The 2007 Torrent failed (when we had only owned it 5-6 mths). …”

“While driving approx. 70 MPH on interstate I-75 a light came on the dash that stated stabilitrak is off and engine speed will be reduced at which time the car jerked to a sudden slow down almost causing an accident with the car behind me. Car was shut off and restarted then seemed to run fine again until today 1-14 in which it did the same thing again. This is very dangerous, as I thought this may be a safe car for my child to drive. This is not the case. In looking on the internet, it seems that several if not hundreds of people are having this same issue. Why hasn't it been recalled? …”

“Vehicle would not start. Jumped battery to get started. Stability control light came on. Steering wheel would not turn. Shut off after letting run to charge battery. Shuit off. Vehicle will not restart and the key cannot be removed from the ignition. This is the second time this happened. The last time the power steering motor control and the stability control module was replaced. All this while vehicle was parked in my garage. Vehicle has 26000 miles on it.”

“August 12 2015 the car doors began locking and unlocking on their own.the speedometer/tachometer began acting crazily on their own. A short time after, having not had steering issues before driver was shocked because the steering wheel malfunctioned (if she turned it left the steering wheel turned but not the vehicle, it kept going straight). She lowered speed and eventually the steering wheel started working.warning lights all wheel drive ABS service engine light had come on when the problem occurred. Husband drove car that night but couldn't find anything wrong. …”
