Consumer Description

I AM REPORTING A PONTIAC GRAND PRIX GT. IT HAS HAD A ACCEIERATION PROBLEM SINCE I STARTED DRIVING IT. I HAD IT SENT TO A PONTIAC DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEY SAY THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE SOFTWERE BEING BAD IN THAT MODEL.I CONTACTED GENERAL M OTORS ABOUT THE PROBLEM,THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. I AM NOW FINDING REPORTS ON THE SAME ISSUE OCCURING IN THE SAME MODEL CARS ALL OVER. I WAS TOLD THIS IS TRUE AND IS HAPPENING IN CARS FROM THE YEAR 98-99. THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. I DON'T SEE HOW THEY CAN MAKE A CAR AND KNOW THE PROBLEM THAT IS THEIR FAULT, THAT THEY EVEN KNOW ABOUT AND WILL NOT CORRECT. I AM GETTING MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM CONCERNING THIS CAR AND THE SOFTWARE AND WILL BE CONTACTING MY LAWYER AND THE COMPANY I HAVE MY LOAN THRU. I WORK TO HARD TO HAVE A VEHICLE, IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO OWN A CAR AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT RUNS THE WAY IT IS MENT TO. I WILL NOT TAKE THE ANSWER I WAS GIVEN FROM THEM AS A SOLUTION. WHAT THEY SAID IS NOT A WAY TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE. SOMEONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DIE OR BECOME BADLY HURT BEFORE IT IS TAKEN CARE OF. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY HELP IN GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF. MY E- MAIL IS [email protected]. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. *AK
