NHTSA Complaint #10619227 — 2008 PONTIAC TORRENT

CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE WHEN I TRIED TO GET OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD TO FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR AND ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP FOR A FEW MINUTES ONLY. JERKING (LACK OF ACCELERATION) CONTINUED UNTIL CALLED GM HO AND CONNECTED WITH MY DEALER UNDER "SPECIAL COVERAGE." HAD TO TAKE A MECHANIC ON THE ROAD AND DUPLICATE TO BE SURE I WAS NOT DISMISSED AGAIN WITHOUT FIXING. GIVEN A HARD TIME ABOUT GETTING THE FULL SPECIAL COVERAGE TO COVER THE SPARK PLUG WIRES & SPARK PLUGS, BUT DEALER GAVE IN SINCE REPEATED VISITS FOR SAME PROBLEM. STILL AWAITING A "SPECIALIST" FROM GM TO CALL BACK REGARDING SPARK PLUGS BEING INCLUDED AND WHY I CANNOT VIEW THE ACTUAL "SPECIAL COVERAGE" DOCUMENT AS TO THIS PROBLEM POSSIBLY REPEATING ITSELF EVERY 6 MONTHS PER OTHER OWNERS. *TR
