ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
'M WRITING TO NOTIFY GM ABOUT A DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH MY 2001 PONTIAC GRAND AM. THE SECURITY SYSTEM ACTIVATES PREVENTING THE CAR TO STOP FOR 10 MINUTES UNTIL IT RESETS, CAUSING MANY WORK RELATED ISSUES. THIS SECURITY ISSUE PREVENTS THE FUEL PUMP FROM ACTIVATING, ALLOWING THE CAR TO START. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO SEVERE, THE CAR NOW SHUTS DOWN MID DRIVE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. LIVING IN LOUISVILLE, TN AWAY 10 HOURS FROM HOME, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO KEEP USING THIS VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK. NOW I'M FORCED TO REMAIN IN THE OUTSIDE LANE TO QUICKLY GET OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 15 TIMES A WEEK, ALMOST CAUSING AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC WHERE WE REPLACED THE ECM TWO SEPARATE TIMES, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. HAS THERE BEEN MANY ISSUES REPORTED ABOUT THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVE?

HELLO, I'M NOT SURE WHO TO CONTACT IN REGARDS TO THIS, BUT I HAVE A 2002 PONTIAC GRAND AM AND RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, (THE IGNITION/SECURITY RECALL.) I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, ONLY TO DISCOVER THEY NEVER FIXED IT AND WHEN I CALLED TO ADDRESS THEM ABOUT IT, THEY REASSURED ME THEY DID, AND HAVE HAD SECOND AND THIRD PARTIES, (MECHANICS,) LOOK AND THEY IF FACT, DID NOT. AS A RESULT, I'VE INVESTED SO MUCH MONEY AND AM NOW IN CAR-LESS, AND AM A WIDOW WITH 4 CHILDREN GOING TO COLLEGE FULL TIME ONLINE. I'VE TRIED TO FIX IT MYSELF AND HAVING OTHER MECHANICS WHO DON'T SPECIALIZE IN THIS FIX IT. PLEASE ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
