Consumer Description

DT: CONTACT OWNS 1999, PONTIAC, GRAND AM. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE GOING AROUND A CURB SHE LOST CONTROL OF STEERING. THE ABS LIGHT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE PUSHING THE BRAKES IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN STARTING BECAUSE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT FINALLY GOT OFF THE ROAD SHE PULLED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND WHEN SHE WENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEEL LOOSENED . SHE PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE, PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THEN PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ALSO, CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE RPMS AND SPEED ODOMETER REVVED UP TO 120 MPH AND BACK TO 5 MPH BEFORE SHE EVEN MOVED THE VEHICLE OR PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS ALMOST CAUSED HER TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.*AK
