Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO HAVE LOSS OF POWER OR STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE ONE PARTICULAR TIME THAT IS OF GREAT SAFETY CONCERN IS WHEN IT HAD LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR ALSO WON'T RANDOMLY START AND HAVE BEEN STALLED IN THE -30 DEGREES FREEZING COLD FOR OVER AN HOUR ON A REMOTE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT INTO MULTIPLE MECHANICS, INCLUDING GM MECHANICS, AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, ETC. CALLED GM, THEY CAN CAR LESS THAT THE CAR HAS A CHRONIC PROBLEM. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON PONTIAC TORRENTS SHOWS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME ISSUE.
