NHTSA Complaint #10452857 — 2006 PONTIAC TORRENT

ON 2 OCCASIONS MY CAR DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE IM DRIVING WITH MY NEWBORN. FIRST TIME I GOT GAS. HALF MILE DOWN THE ROAD CAR DIES.THEY SAY ITS FUEL PUMP. SPENT 3 DAYS AT SHOP ON THIRD DAY WITH NO WORK DONE CAR STARTS RUNS FINE FOR 2 WEEKS WITH MULTIPLE GAS FILL UPS IN BETWEEN. THREE DAYS AGO I GET GAS DRIVE 1/2 BLOCK PARK CAR, HALF HOUR LATER GET IN CAR START DRIVING, TRY TO PUT WINDOWS DOWN BUT THEY WONT COME DOWN. IM NOW 1/2 MILE INTO MY DRIVE ON BUSY ROAD WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR AND I BARELY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING SLAMMED INTO BY A SEMI. I SPENT AN HOUR IN 80 DEGREE WEATHER IN MY CAR WITH MY BABY WITH NO WAY TO PUT WINDOWS DOWN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. BY THE TIME THE TOW GOT THERE MY CAR STARTED. I HAD IT TOWED ANYWAY FOR FEAR OF HAVING THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. TOW IT TO A DEALERSHIP NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO THIS IS TWICE NOW THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WHEN I HAD MY CHILD BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING A 92 TOYOTA AND I JUST FELT I NEEDED SOMETHING NEWER AND MORE RELIABLE BUT APPARENTLY I SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH MY TOYOTA IT NEVER IN THE TIME I HAD IT BROKE DOWN AND IT HAD 192,000 MILES ON IT. IF THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. DOES IT SERIOUSLY HAVE TO BE A FATAL ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT JUST ABOUT HAPPENED 3 DAYS AGO TO AN INFANT AND MYSELF. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANOR. *TR
