2004 PONTIAC GTO Electrical System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAN USED FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THE HEATER THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE REMAINED ACTIVATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OFF OR ON.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

WE HAVE OWNED 2 2004 GTO'S AND THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH VEHICLES AND THE VIN NUMBER LISTED ABOVE IT HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE. THE KEY WILL NOT WORK AND UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN THEREFORE THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK... THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AND HAS LEFT US STRANDED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHEN I CONTACTED PONTIAC (GM) ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEY INITIALLY SEEMED CONCERNED BUT NOW AFTER COUNTLESS CALLS AND EMAILS THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING. THEY HAVE EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE REQUEST: 71-1312795897 NUMBER WHICH APPARENTLY DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE TO VERIFY THAT THIS ISSUE ISN'T A DEFAULT IN THE CAR. AS I AM AWARE THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THEM MULTIPLE TIMES ON THESE CARS SPECIFICALLY AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECALL THE ISSUE. MY REQUEST IS FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 PONTIAC GTO. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. ..UPDATED 05-09-14 *BF

I LOVE MY GTO, BUT I HAVE MANY PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE. HERE GOES...MY TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN WHEN I HIT THE BUTTON, I HAVE TO BE STANDING AT THE TRUNK AND PULL UP AS I HIT THE BUTTON...MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE, MY RADIO WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN BLAST MUSIC AND THEN GO BACK DOWN TO A NORMAL VOLUME, MY TRUNK LIGHT WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO, ALONG WITH MY BACK DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHTS. MY CARS FAN WOULD RUN AFTER I TURN OFF THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO RUN THE BATTERY DOWN, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS "NORMAL". THE LEATHER HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE, AND NOW THAT THE YEAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ITS COMING APART AGAIN...THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM I BUY, AND I HAVE OWNED 3 PONTIACS, 1 SATURN, 1 CHEVY TRUCK SINCE 97 (ALL NEW EXCEPT MY GTO) I CAN...

MY 2004 GTO HAS PLENTY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. FROM THE FUEL GAUGE NOT REGISTERING WHEN I PUT GAS IN, TO WHILE I START AND DRIVE MY CAR THE MILES UNTIL EMPTY AND LOW FUEL AND VERY LOW FUEL WARNINGS GO ON AND OFF. TO ALL MY GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DO WHAT THEY WANT. THE RPM NEEDLE WENT CRAZY IN PARK BEFORE AND WHILE DRIVING. MY TEMPERATURE NEEDLE WHILE ONLY DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES AS SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS IN HERE THE FLUIDS ALL BEING FULL WENT TO HOT AND WARNINGS CAME ON AND WENT OFF WITH TEMPERATURE NEEDLE GOING BACK TO NORMAL. WELL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE ANY OF MY PROBLEMS. ALTHOUGH I BROUGHT THE CAR IN WHILE IT WAS DOING THIS. SO I WENT TO LAWYERS FOR LEMON LAW TO SUE PONTIAC WHICH OF COURSE WITH MANY TRIPS...
