1999 Pontiac Grand Prix engine complaints
Page 8 of 8: complaints 191 to 201 of 201, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When driving vehicle at various speeds, it would stall out in the middle of traffic. Vehcle can be restarted after being shut down for awhile. Has happened 3 different times. Had taken to dealership and mechanic test drove vehcle, but it did not stall. Problem was intermittent.
Engine will stall, especially when pulling out in traffic. It usually happen when accelerating after coming to a stop (between 0-15 MPH) and makes the car extremely unsafe to drive. The car will restart and no lights come on, therefore the dealer cannot find where any "codes" have been set in the engine. I have had the car to the dealer numerous times, and they cannot recreate or diagnose the problem. I have also opened a file with pontiac. This problem is a danger to everyone on the road, especially grand prix drivers. When will this problem be investigated and what will it take for a "fix" to be implemented? As it stands now, the car is unsafe to drive, and the dealership cannot offer an explanation.
Sudden engine failure while merging on highway nearly caused major accident dealer detected failed egr valve and replaced.
