DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED TO THE LOWEST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING, AND HESITATED BEFORE ENGAGING TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT READING. FINALLY, WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE IN REAR WHEELS. THE LAST TWO PROBLEMS WERE INSPECTED BY A DEALER.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE WITH THIS CAR. AT 60,000 MILES, I HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE WAS A WHINING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN 4TH GEAR, OR OVERDRIVE. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT A TRANSMISSIOIN SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS GOING TO NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, IF I HAD NOT BEEN VIGILANT IN MY INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM. AS A RESULT, I HAD A HUGE REPAIR BILL, WAS WITHOUT THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK, AND HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL TO DRIVE TO WORK. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REBUILT, AND REPALCED. SPECIFIC PARTS THAT I KNOW OF WERE, THE "TORRINGTON BEARING", WHICH CAUSED FAILURE OF A SET OF PLANETARY GEARS, AND THE 4TH GEAR SPLINE. THE REPAIRMAN SAID THAT THE BEARING AND THE 4TH GEAR SPLINE ARE OF SUBSTANDARD QUALITY, AND THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE PURPOSELY BEEN MADE STRONGER, AND HEAT TREATED, BECAUSE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THESE TRANSMISSOINS.60'000 MILES IS MUCH TOO EARLY FOR A FAILURE OF THIS TYPE TO OCCUR. TOTAL REPAIR BILL WAS OVER $2,500.00.*AK

PERIODIC TRANSMISSION SLIP FROM INITIAL DATE OF PURCHASE - DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE, UNTIL OUT OF WARRANTY. REFLASH E-PROM/UPDATE DONE AT 75K MILES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. NOW AT 110K DEALER SAYS NEW TRANSMISSION IS NEEDED AS CAR IS EXHIBITING SAME PROBLEMS. CAR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHEN USING HIGH BEAMS. CAR HAS LOST ALL POWER TWICE WHEN DRIVING AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, THUS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT STEERING PROBLEM UNTIL THE CAR COULD BE STOPPED. GROUNDING WIRES ADDED TO SEE IF CORRECTION COULD BE MADE. LIGHTS & CAR HAVE NOT QUIT YET, BUT TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. WHEN CAR IS SHUT OFF THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OUT AND NOT COME BACK ON AND THE CAR WILL RESET IT SELF AND RUN OKAY FOR AWHILE. THE CAR ALSO EXHIBITS A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHEN THE SLIPPAGE / JERKING IS ABOUT TO OCCUR. GM WILL NOT ALLOW CONVERSATION WITH ANYONE BUT A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON. ALL FILE NUMBERS GIVEN TO ME BY GM PERSONNEL WHEN CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY ARE NOT LOADED INTO THEIR DATA BASE, THUS NOTHING CAN BE DONE, MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH AND THESE THINGS ARE EXPECTED TO HAPPEN. *NM

The affected vehicles were previously repaired under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 to address the possibility that engine oil may drip onto the hot exhaust manifold.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Engine oil that drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold may result in a fire.
Remedy: The remedy applied under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 did not adequately remove the safety risk. Under the improved remedy, dealers will replace the engines front valve cover and gasket. Vehicles that are covered by recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, or 15V-201 that have not yet received the original remedy will instead receive the improved remedy under the original recall number.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

Feb 24, 2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3800 V6 (L36) ENGINES AND CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, THE REGULATORS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL RATE OF FUEL LEAKS. A LEAK CAN ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THROUGH A VACUUM LINE. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN CRANKED, THE FUEL FROM THE LEAKING REGULATOR AND A MISTIMED SPARK CAN CAUSE A BACKFIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BACKFIRE CAN RUPTURE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE RUPTURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN DISPLACE A FUEL LINE, PULLING AN INJECTOR OUT OF PLACE, AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS WITH IMPROVED DIAPHRAGMS. THE RECALL WILL BE CONDUCTED IN PHASED MAILINGS. PHASE 1 BEGAN ON JUNE 30, 2004, AND PHASE 2 BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
