NHTSA Complaint #10453454 — 2008 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

BRAKELINE CONNECTION UNDER VEHICLE (IN FRONT OF WHERE DRIVER SITS) COULD BECOME CRACKED OR BROKEN IF KNOCKED BY ROAD DEBRIS, OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I NOTICED THIS ON MY 2008 GRAND PRIX GXP, SO NOT SURE IF THIS MODEL SITS LOWER TO THE GROUND THAN OTHER GRAND PRIX MODELS. WATCHING RESERVOIR FLUID LEVEL TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH IS LOST OVER A MONTH. I DISCOVERED AFTER NOTICING A BURNT FLUID SMELL IN THE CABIN AFTER 16 MAR 2012. PARTICULARLY STRONG AFTER HARD BRAKE SITUATION I WAS TOLD BY LOCAL DEALER THAT THERE WAS NO WARRENTY ON THIS VEHICLE, AND THAT THE PARTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ANYMORE.
