#708605July 14, 1999
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
MY CAR HAS DEVELOPED A CRONIC PROBLEM THAT HAS MADE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CAR STALLS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION. I LOOSE ALL ELECTRICAL AND HYDRAULIC POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS, LEAVING ME EXPOSED TO A MAJOR REAR-END COLLISION. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP, EVEN THOUGH I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. BUT EVEN A PONTIAC DEALER CAN NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TURNED THE CAR BACK TO ME SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIND PROBLEM AND THAT IT DID NOT STALL FOR THEM, ONLY TO DRIVE OFF DEALER PROPERTY AND HAVE CAR STALL A MILE DOWN ROAD. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED I CAN NOT USE THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF SERIOUS SITUATION. I NOTE THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INSTANCES IN NHTSA WEBSITE OF COMPLAINTS AND MANUFACTURES SERVICE BULLITEN DESCRIBING SAME TYPE OF SITUATION. *AK
