TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V201000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT SUPPLIED THE PARTS TO THE UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALER WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME AND THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FIRE RELATED TO ONE OF THE TWO MANUFACTURER RECALLS. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD JUST LEFT A REFUELING STATION AND NOTICED A BURNING ODOR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, A FIRE STARTED. A FIRE INSPECTOR EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES AND STATED THAT THE FIRE ENTERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE DASHBOARD. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED DUE TO THE FAILURE AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THEIR LOCATION. THE INSURANCE COMPANY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE VEHICLE OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUTS OFF ON MY WHILE DRIVING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST IN HOT CLIMATE TEMPERATURES AND IN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, I START TO LOSE STEERING AND BREAKING WHICH IS A BIG CONCERN WHEN I AM HEADING TO WORK IN THE MORNING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START UP RIGHT AWAY AFTER I HAVE PULLED CAR OVER TO SIDE OF ROADWAY. OTHER TIMES IT CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES BEFORE CAR WILL FIRE UP AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE KEY OVER TO HEAR ENGINE TURNING OVER BUT NOT FIRING UP. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER CLIMATE CONDITIONS AS WELL AND IN DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND ON CITY STREETS AS WELL. THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE IS THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND HOT, HUMID WEATHER. I WILL PUT DOWN THE LAST DATE THIS HAPPENED WHICH HOT AND HUMID AND WAS ON JUNE 12 2017 BUT HAS HAPPENED ON OTHER DATES AS WELL. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND HE CAN NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD BE TO CHECK INTO ANY RECALLS. I DID AND NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE ARE NEEDED AT THIS TIME. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE DIAGNOSED AND NO RESULTS OR HAVE REPAIR DONE AND ISSUE NOT FIXED YET.

IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE MULTIPLE OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALLS ADDRESSED ON THE SUBJECT VEHICLE, I CONTACTED BY PHONE A LOCAL GM DEALER (LONE STAR CHEVROLET, 18900 NORTHWEST FREEWAY, JERSEY VILLAGE, TX 77065 281-517-7733), WHOSE CONTACT INFORMATION IS LISTED IN MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES RECEIVED BY ME. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE WITH WHOM I SPOKE THAT "THEY DON'T DO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE" AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT SOME OTHER GM DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO HAVE THESE SAFETY RECALLS ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND THE ENGINE IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED . THE POLICE WERE AT THE SCENE, BUT DID NOT KNOW OF ANY POLICE REPORT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A MINOR BURN THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY A PRIVATE TOWING COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 15V201000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PLANNED TO INVESTGATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 138,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V701000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE WON'T STOP DIEING THEN WON'T TURN ON! IT TRY'S TURNING OVER BUT WON'T WORK! I HAVE CHANGE DO SENSORS AND DID OIL AND EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF PLEASE HELP!

BRAKE LINE FAILURE, BRAKE LINE CORRODED AND WERE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID RESULTING IN BRAKE FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE TOWED TO FREEHOLD BUICK GMC (FREEHOLD, NJ) WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE ISSUE AND PROVIDED ME AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE 2 BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF OVER $2,000.00. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V201000 WAS PERFORMED ON VEHICLE AT THIS DEALERSHIP ON OR ABOUT 9/2017. EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE, SMOKE AND OIL STILL APPEAR ON THE FRONT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THIS RECALL REPAIRED THE ISSUE AS DESCRIBED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO FOLLOW THE RECALL INSTRUCTIONS AND NEVER DISCARDED THE OIL FILLER NECK AND PLASTIC ENGINE COVER AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT.
