TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB ON THE 1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE LETTER INDICATORS P- PARK R- REVERSE N- NEUTRAL D- DRIVER AND L- LOW MIGHT DIFFER FROM THE ACTUAL GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION, IF THE CONTACT SELECTSEDDRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ACTUALLY BE IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT WAS SOMETIMES UNABLE TO START VEHICLE BECAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED HER THAT THERE IS WAS PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB, AND STATED IT WAS NOT ENGAGING CORRECTLY. THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB WAS REPLACED. THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB FAILED AGAIN SIX MONTHS LATER. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER, AND BOTH INFORMED HER THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 61800 MILES. *AK

I WAS ON VACATION DRIVING INTO A REST AREA WHEN THE CAR MADE A "THONK" SOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED. I COULD SHIFT IT INTO ANY GEAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. WE HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIRMAN. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS TORN DOWN, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE GEARS HAD BLOWN A PART. THE MACHANIC COULD NOT FIND A USED ONE AND IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN 4 OR 5 DAYS TO GET ONE FROM AC DELCO, SO HE REBUILT THE EXISTING PART. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD THREE OTHER CARS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE MONTH OF APRIL 2004 ALONE. I ONLY HAD 48,000 MILES ON THE CAR. WE WERE LUCKY WE WERE NOT ON THE OPEN ROAD WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.*AK

DEALER SERVICE REPLACED TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $ 2629.00. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SERVICE (FILE # C04871549). ANSWER: NO ACTION BECAUSE VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY. *AK
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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4T65E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 102, "TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE." A RETAINING CLIP, WHICH SECURES THE MANUAL VALVE TO THE LINKAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION DETENT LEVER, CAN BECOME LOOSE UNDER A COMBINATION OF POSSIBLE DRIVER SHIFTING MANEUVERS AND ALLOW THE LINK TO BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE MANUAL VALVE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE LINK DISCONNECTS, THE DRIVER'S INDICATED PRNDL STATE MAY DIFFER FROM THE HYDRAULIC STATE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IF THE DRIVER SELECTS 'DRIVE' AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTUALLY IN 'REVERSE', A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MANUAL VALVE/LINK ASSEMBLY WITH A REPLACEMENT MANUAL VALVE/LINK KIT, FEATURING A SPRING-TYPE FASTENER.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CHROME PLATED ALUMINUM WHEELS. SOME OF THESE WHEELS HAVE A MOUNTING SURFACE THAT WAS NOT MACHINED CORRECTLY, CAUSING THE WHEEL STUDS TO BREAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE TIRE/WHEEL ASSEMBLY COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WHEELS AND REPLACE ALL WHEELS WITH DATE CODES INDICATING THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN MACHINED CORRECTLY. THE WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS AT ANY LOCATION WHERE A SUSPECT WHEEL WAS INSTALLED WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
