Since I bought the car, I noticed on motion the force on the pedal started reducing. When it happens I repress it again which will become stable at that particular time. Will got stuck while in motion( 55mpr). I took to the dealership they told me nothing wrong with the car, and then I was under warranty. This morning I took it to mechanic, they told me it's electrical problem with throttle pedal and seat.

Within a month of purchasing a pre-owned 2008 pontiac, grand prix from mike smith buick gmc, located in lockport, ny, I realized the sensor for the passenger airbag would turn off and on while I have a passenger weighing over 200lbs in the passenger seat. I notified dealership and made an appt. On sept 22, 2014. My car went in for service on september 29, 2014. The technician informed me he reset the module but no codes were coming up for the electronic control unit and this was too expensive and time consuming to fix and would not be covered under the new york state lemon law warranty. This concerns me as a safety defect and I would like to know if this is covered under general motors corporation.

I was driving on the highway and exiting on a ramp. The ramp was on an incline. My driving speed around 45 MPH. Then, unexpectedly, the speed decreased to 30 MPH and immediately the "reduce engine speed" light came on. Shortly after, my "check engine" light came on. I continued on my exit, pulled over and parked. After car being off for 30 minutes, the car started right back up. The "reduce engine speed" light went off but the "check engine" light remained. I purchased my car in feb 2014 and this was the very 1st incident. In the beginning, this wasn't frequent but as I noticed it happening more often, I began to record each time this happened. The dates I have tracked thus far are 7/7/14, 7/10/14, 7/13/14, 7/27/14, 8/2/14, 8/11/14, 8/12/14, 8/20/14, 8/21/14, 8/22/14, 8/28/14 (happened 3 times throughout the noon at 2:15p, 3:00p & 5:20p), 8/29/14, 9/9/14, 9/10/14 (4 times throughout this day), 9/15/14, 9/16/14, 9/17/14, 9/18/14, 9/19/14, 9/20/14, 9/23/14, 9/24/14, 9/27/14. I have already had $550 repairs done, at least that's what I thought, to take care of the "reduce engine speed" light but it continues to come on. I took it back the same mechanic/body shop and the diagnostic machine showed more/different codes. New repairs would cost another $550-$600. Also, when either of my sons sit in the front seat, the passenger airbag light goes on and off. They are both between 90-95 lbs. This are major concerns because I need to know that we are safe whenever we are inside the vehicle.
