The contact owns a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the dealer for service under NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V701000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however after the service the vehicle started but did not idle due to an air intake hose not reinstalled on the vehicle. The contact stated that the air intake hose needs to be replaced however, the repairs have not been completed. The contact stated that before taking the vehicle into service the manufacturer was made aware of an issue with the dealer due to his interaction with the service manager.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 180K MILES. CAR WILL NOT SHIFT ON IT OWN I HAVE TO FORCE CAR INTO GEAR BY SPEEDING UP HEARING TRANSMISSION WHINE AND THEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL SO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GEARS. THIS IS ON ALL ROAD CONDITIONS. SO MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE WHY HAS GM NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS MATTER.

I TOOK MY PONTIAC GTP TO BURLINGAME PUTNAM IN CA BECAUSE I CHECKED ON HERE NHTSA IF I HAD A RECALL AND I DID WHICH WAS FIRE WALL COMPARTMENT RECALL SO WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HAD MY CAR SERVICED I PICKED IT UP AND ONCE I GOT HOME I NOTICED ONE VALVE COVER WAS REPLACED WHICH WAS ONLY ONE VALVE COVER FACING THE FRONT OF THE CAR! THE VALVE COVER FACING THE REAR TOWARDS THE FIRE WALL WAS STILL THE OLD VALVE COVER! AND IS STILL LEAKING OIL WHICH IM AFRAID MIGHT TAKE OUT MY ENGINE IF IT BLOWS THE HEAD GASKET COMPLETELY AND CAUSE A FIRE,CAN EVEN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT! PLEASE HELP. TECHNICIANS SHOULD DO A COMPLETE SERVICE NOT JUST HALF OF THE JOB AND BE LAZY TO NOT EVEN REPLACE THE REAR VALVE COVER THATS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE AND WHAT IF I HAD KIDS OR FAMILY WHEN THIS HAPPENS

A WHILE BACK THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX YEARS 2000 - 2004 IF IM NOT MISTAKEN DUE TO OIL LEAK CAUSING AN ENGINE FIRE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A PRIVATE OWNER AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I PUT OIL IN IT IS DOES LEAK ON TO THE GROUND BUT WITH HOW MUCH OIL I PUT IT IN ALREADY DOESNT EXPLAIN WHERE THE REST OF IT WENT, ID SAY ABOUT 5 QUARTS IN A DAY. I JUST DONT WANT TO BE DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HAVE THE ENGINE CATCH FIRE IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL JUST CUT OFF FOR NO REASON, THEREBY I LOSE CONTROL OF LL THE VEHICLE SAFETY COMPONETS,HAVING TO TRY AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF GM VEHICLE MADE IN THIS VEHICLE YEAR. THERE ARE MANY ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME VEHICLE DEFECT. THIS IS CLEARLY A GM VEHICLE DEFECT. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALL AS A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZZARD. MYGM REFERENCE NUMBER IS ( 8-3665783770). SO PLEASE DO THE PUBLIC A SERVICE AND HAVE THIS VEHICLE RECALL , BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZZARD. NO ONE MECHANIC SEEN TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THEY SAY MY VEHICLE, SPENT LOTS OF MONEY ,BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING GM.

AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A COMMUNICATION FAILURE AND A FUSE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 00V228000 (SEAT BELTS) AND 15V701000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I AM PROBABLY THE 3RD OWNER OF THIS CAR AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE RECALL EXISTS BECAUSE I WAS SEARCHING FOR A REASON FOR MY CAR TO EXPERIENCE AN ENGINE FIRE THIS PAST MONDAY. AFTER CALLING THE MANUFACTURER, IT APPEARS THAT THE SEARCH FOR CURRENT OWNERS IS NOT IN THE PURVIEW OF THE MANUFACTURER AND ALL OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RESEARCH OF THE CAR IS ON THE PURCHASER. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE, THE CAR HAD BEEN BEING DRIVEN TO THE COFFEE STORE, WHEN RETURNING TO THE CAR ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE ENGULFED IN FLAME. WITH FLAMES COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD. MY ISSUE IS WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NOTIFICATION AND THE REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF A CONSUMER THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF A LICENSED VEHICLE MAKE ATTEMPTS TO COMMUNICATE RECALL DATA BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER. ALL STATES MONITOR ALL LICENSED VEHICLES INCLUDING THE CURRENT OWNER. IT SEEMS THAT THIS DATA CAN BE UTILIZED TO MAKE A FAR BETTER ATTEMPT TO LOCATE OWNERS WHEN SUCH A HAZARD EXISTS WITH THE CAR. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE RECALL STATUS OF THIS CAR.

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AT DESERT PONITAC, IT APPEARED NOT TO HAVE THE ALARM I WAS TOLD WAS INSTALLED IN THIS CUSTOM CAR OR EVEN AIRBAGS WITHOUT ME EVEN KNOWING-IN THE PAST SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TAKEN WITHOUT MY PERMISSION , GETTING MORE BOLD AND VICIOUS EVEN TO MY OWN HOUSE IN ANAHIEM .CA WHERE I MOVED TO GET AWAY FORM PEOPLE FROM RIVERSIDE , ALLERGAN PHARM-AND PEOPLE FROM A GROCERY STORE NEAR THE TYLER MALL RIVERSIDE .CA - THE FOLLOWING AGES HAVE BEEN STOLEN WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION OF ANY KIND- APPEARING THE ME , BY [XXX] AND AN ASIAN WOMAN APPEARING IN THE FARRELS AS FAR BACK 1972 AND CONTINUING ON EVEN REPORTING THIS AT MY OWN WEDDING IN 1985 TO TWO ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFFS AT MY WEDDING THAT MY CAR WAS ALREADY MISSING FROM THE PARKING LOT BEFORE THE WEDDING WAS EVEN OVER-ANAHEIM .CA BALL RD-CAMEO WEDDING CHAPEL-[XXX] MY BROTHER WAS AT THAT TIME ALLOW TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT NOT TO GIVE IT TO ANYONE AT ALL-(HE LIVED IN FOUNTAIN VALLEY.CA- I ASKED THE ANAHEIM POLICE TO REPORT [XXX] AS THE HOUSE I LOVE [XXX] SHE KEEPS TRYING TO TAKE PEOPLES HOUSES AND [XXX] DOES NOT PROTECT ME OR MY CHILDREN AS HIS SISTER- AS HER BROTHER USED TO OWN THE HOUSE ?
