2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RECALL #15757 ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER CLAIMED THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL LEAK. *JB

RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE APRIL 2ND 2015 IT IS JANUARY 27TH 2016, GM RECALL # 14574 AND STILL NO RESOLVED ISSUE. I AM ADVISED TO KEEP MY CAR OUTSIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER SO THERE IS NO ACCIDENTAL FIRE STARTED. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY AND EVERYDAY I'M THINKING, IS TODAY THE DAY I "BRAKE HARD" "CAUSING OIL" "TO LEAK ONTO THE MANIFOLD" AND MY ENGINE BAY CATCHES FIRE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. I FEEL AS THOUGHT THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH THIS OFF UNTIL LESS PEOPLE HAVE HELD ONTO THEIR OLDER PONTIAC VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP

WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER IN MY 04 GRAND PRIX, THE DISPLAY SHOWED "LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE" THERE WERE TRUCKS ON EITHER SIDE, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY DODGING THE VEHICLES COMING UP BEHIND ME. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND EXPLAIN THE CONDITION, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE HE SAID HE FIXES THEM ALL THE TIME. THE SPEED SENSOR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LOSSES CONNECTION WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND LOSS OF POWER IS THE RESULT. IF THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON A TOYOTA THEY WOULD HAVE RECALLED THE VEHICLES AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I GUESS GM HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS OR MAYBE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE DIED TO MAKE THIS A GM SAFETY PRIORITY.

NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 15V701000 . WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY GENERAL MOTORS THAT PLANNING IS UNDERWAY TO CONDUCT THIS RECALL, WHICH IS INTENDED TO PREVENT ENGINE FIRES CAUSED BY OIL LEAK. AS PART OF THE PLANS STATED IN THEIR LETTER, THEY WILL BE PERMANENTLY REMOVING AN OIL FILL EXTENSION AND ENGINE "BEAUTY" COVER DURING THIS RECALL. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO GM RECALL PHONE NUMBER ABOUT OUR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE PLAN TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE ENGINE COVER. WE SEE THAT AS LOWERING THE VALUE OF THE CAR. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT REMOVING THE COVER, AND THEY ARE JUST DOING IT CHEAPER THIS WAY. FROM NHTSA'S PERSPECTIVE, THE PLANNED RECALL, WHICH WILL LOWER RESALE VALUE ON CARS WHERE IT IS PROVIDED, WILL NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE AS IT COULD BE, BECAUSE ONCE THE WORD IS OUT THAT THE RECALL MAKES THE ENGINE UGLIER, SOME OWNERS WILL CHOOSE NOT TO CONDUCT THE RECALL. GM AND THE DEALER ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERNS, BUT WILL NOT COMMIT TO PROVIDING OUR FEEDBACK TO THE ENGINEERING GROUP THAT IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO CONVEY THESE CONCERNS TO GM. THANK YOU. *TR
