NHTSA Complaint #10583227 — 2009 PONTIAC VIBE

MY CAR STARTED TO STALL AND PULL TO THE LEFT ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I THOUGHT IT TO BE JUST AN ABERATION. I WENT TO A PARKING LOT AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL TO TEST DRIVE MY STEERING AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOTHING HAPPENED, SO I WENT TO WORK AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. MY JOB IS ABOUT 12 MILES FROM DAUGHTER SCHOOL TAKING THE BACK ROAD AND NOT GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER WORK I TOOK THE INTERSTATE BACK HOME THROUGH SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FROM DOWNTOWN TO MY HOME APROXIMATELY 1O MILES TAKING THE INTERSTATE. AS I WAS COMING FROM OFF RAMP I NOTICE A LITTTLE STUTTER AND CAR POWERING DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES AND THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STALL AND STARTED PULLING TO LEFT. I PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN. ALL THE PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON ABS, ENGINE, ETC. I MEAN EVERY SINGLE LIGHT. I PULLED CAR IN TO AMOCA. HE SAID IT WAS THROTTLE BODY. I GOT 2ND OPINION. HE SAID THAT DID NOT SOUND RIGHT. HE SAID TAKE CAR TO DEALER. I AM TAKING CAR TO GM DEALER TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS. I DO NOT WANT TO RISK GETTING MY CHILD KILLED IN THIS CAR. *TT
