2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

MY CAR SMELLS LIKE BURNT OIL AFTER DRIVING IT. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES TRYING TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AFTER I GOT MY RECALL BUT THEY STILL SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD PLEASE HELP.

GM RECALL 15757 ISSUED DEC. 2015 -PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. LETTER DATED FEB. 2016 -PARTS AVAILABLE. MAY 2016 - DEALER STILL CAN NOT GET PARTS FROM GM. PONTIAC/ GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE COMPLETELY USELESS - MAINTAINS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW THE PARTS ARE BEING SENT TO DEALERS. RECALL INVOLVES POTENTIAL FIRE IN VEHICLE DO TO OIL LEAK. I DON'T BELIEVE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, SMOKE WAS PRESENT FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR VALVE COVER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V701000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V701000(ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

RECALL NOTICE 15V701 HAS BEEN ISSUED AND I WAS INFORMED BY GM IN FEB, 2016 THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE CASE PER MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THEY RECEIVED ONLY 5 REPAIR KITS AND HAVE A BACKLOG OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR PARTS TO COME IN SO THEIR VEHICLES CAN BE REPAIRED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND OUT FROM GM WHY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE RISK OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES WILL NOT BE ELIMINATED UNTIL REPAIRS ARE DONE. WHAT IS THE GM DOING ABOUT THIS AND WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING TO GET GM TO RESOLVE THIS 'NO PARTS' SITUATION?
