Consumer Description

2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM HAS 52,000 MILES AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN DIFFICULT TO START. I MAY HAVE TO TRY 5-6 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER. YESTERDAY THE CAR DIED WHILE GOING ON AN EXIT RAMP OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. ALL LIGHTS WERE STILL FUNCTIONING, BUT THE CAR WAS DEAD AND DID NOT RESTART. I ADDED 1 GAL OF GAS TO MAKE SURE IT HAS ENOUGH ALTHOUGH GUAGE DID NOT INDICATE LOW GAS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT FINALLY STARTED. THE DEALER DID A THOROUGH CHECK DIAGNOSTICALLY AND DRIVING AND COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. FIRST TIME CAR HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING BUT HAS HAD SEVERAL (10) INSTANCES OF NOT STARTING IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. THIS IS A VERY BIG CONCERN SINCE MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DEPENDS ON THIS CAR FOR LONG DRIVES FREQUENTLY WHILE IN COLLEGE. THIS COULD BE A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN IF CAR CONTINUES TO DIE WHILE DRIVING! *AK
