2008 Pontiac Torrent electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Battery died, and after getting a boost the stabilitrack light track came on. My steering wheel became very hard to steer. Turning was almost impossible. I ran into a curb while trying to turn.
The vehicle air bag sensor in passenger seat is faulty. Shows airbag off when passenger is in seat. The front/passenger door wire harness is too tight which end result is both windows do not work because the harness wires have snapped due to them being drawn so tight.... I have had to replace spark plugs/all wires as well as drive shaft all of a sudden was broken too. Both wheel hubs replaced on front of vehicle ~ service to stabilitrak numerous of times.... Now I'm driving around with a tick in the motor with 120,000 miles on it..... This vehicle has turned out to be a nightmare!!!!! And of course the dealer only wants $498.00 to just hook up the tech 2 to let me know all that is wrong!!!!!!! Wow.....I have taken great care with betsy including all scheduled maintenance to and for what I wish I knew.... Just disappointed!!!
