What 2007 Pontiac Torrent owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Abs, stabilitrack service/off, service engin lights, no way to fix!
There is no recalls on my torrent but my car in power redude mode and I had it fixed then I came back a week later and stabilitytrak and tracking control and ABS lights I fix it and they comes back
Fuel smell after driving. Gasoline leaking from the top of the fuel tank. Stabilitrax system light stays on even after the code was cleared by a certified gm mechanic.
Passenger air bag sensor is faulty. Ignition switch is lose. Gas gauge is not working traction control stability control light are all on. Loses power and doesn't want to move sometimes.
Upon starting the vehicle, the car is clicking, the stabilitrak and traction control lights come on, ABS light comes on, lights flicker and the car stalls. When driving the power steering goes out or locks up making it difficult to steer. It had been continuing until the car has been on for 20 or so minutes but now it's going on for longer. It's very scary and dangerous to drive around.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac torrent. While making a right turn at approximately 35 MPH, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver without warning. The contact mentioned that the traction control warning light illuminated two days later. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000....updated 09/12/16 *bf the consumer stated electric power steering assist motor and steering control module was replaced.
Airbag service light has been on for many months. It is cost prohibitive to have serviced since the dealership says it will cost about $1000 to run it down but that it is probably a sensor in the passenger seat. Stabilitrak service light comes on intermittently while driving but doesn't seem to affect the driving and check engine light has appeared at the same time as stabilitrak light started appearing. Check engine code is egr value needs replaced. My torrent has 144,000 miles. For many months the ignition will not turn all the way off most of the time. Sometimes it turns off fine and other times I have to wait for a series of clicks before it will turn off all the way. I don't know if it is a computer issue or an ignition issue.
The passenger seat modular was replaced 7-20-2015. I kept old modular. Passenger lite would come on randomaly when stopped when moving with someone in seat when no one in seat.had seat reprogramed more than once. Finally had it replaced and it has never done it again...the problem started in early 2015
I purchased this vehicle a month ago and it was working fine. Multiple times since then the stabilitrak light comes on and off at random and my airbag doesn't work on the passenger side randomly. It goes on and off and says service airbag, but of course when I get it to a mechanic, it is not happening at that time so they can't do anything about it. I am worried about the safety in my car. I checked for recalls and there are recalls for the exact same issues I am experiencing with the airbag, but it does not cover my VIN, apparently. There is no rhyme or reason to when these lights come on and when things work and when they don't, it is completely at random.
