2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX Complaints

MY TRANSMISSION/ TRANSAXLE HAS BEEN REBUILT 3 TIMES. WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE BASE MODEL 4T65E TRANSAXLE DOESN'T REALLY DIFFER IN THE HARD PARTS FOR THE 4T65E-HD THATS IN MY PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP. BAD JERKING AND SLIPPING FROM TAKE OFF OR ACCELERATING IS MY PROBLEM. JUST THIS YEAR MY CAR COULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ANYONE I TALK TO WHO HAS THE SAME MOTOR COMBINATION OF THE LS4 MOTOR WITH THE 4T65E-HD TRANAXLE HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME SIMILAR ISSUES. WETHER IT BE THE IMPALA SS 2006-2009, MONTE CARLO SS 2006-2007, BUICK LACROSSE SUPER 2008-2009, OR THE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GXP 2005-2008. THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE COMBINATION WITH THE POWER IN THE 303 HP MOTOR IS TOO MUCH FOR THE 4T65E-HP TRANSMISSION. I'VE FOUND A WEBSITE THAT CLAIMS THEY HAVE SOLVED THE FLAWS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE WEBSITE EXPLAINS IN DETAIL WHAT PARTS THEY USE AND HOW IT CAN SUPPORT THE POWER OF THE LS4 MOTOR. PERSONALLY I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A RECALL CLOSE TO A DECADE AGO.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT PASSENGER PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF THE PASSENGER BOUNCES AROUND ON THE SEAT THE LIGHT MAY GO OFF AND IT MAY COME ON RANDOMLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE AIR BAG LIGHT MAY INDICATES THE AIR BAG IS OFF AT ANY TIME IT FEELS LIKE IT. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON FOR THE LIGHT GOING OFF OR ON. IF THE AIR BAG IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE THEN THIS TYPE OF A PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP. THANK YOU
