The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac Torrent. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle was vibrating excessively. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the rear sub frame had an excessive amount of rust. The vehicle was not repaired due to the rear wheel assembly detaching from the excessive amount of rust. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

Steering gone out while driving times 3 with 2 replacements and now in shop for 3rd replacement. Nearly hit a lady. Time before, I nearly went over an embankment. Steering column has been entirely replaced twice. The electric steering motor has also been replaced 2 to 3 times as well. Numerous times have lost the ability to steer when in a curve but then later corrected itself and continued driving. ABS light is on most of the time and yes it has been looked at numerous times. Stabilitrac light is on and again, yes, this has been looked at numerous times. Traction control light is also on again. Seat belt sensor light is on and has been for a long time. Now, I really cannot afford repairs once again for something that needs a recall. I have read hundreds of other people also making these same reports in the federal safety agency comments. Please, people are going to get killed if not already. Now, I also see that these steering columns are being sent back to the manufacturer and the same defective modules are being replaced and then sent back out to replace another vehicles defective part while charging the customer full price yet again. A repairman stated to me that the defective part was being replaced with another defective part and was really useless repairs. Will you please buy this lemon back from me. It has nearly costed me and my families life numerous times plus others. Please recall these parts. Please make it possible for me to get a different vehicle. This started in less than a year from the purchase of the new vehicle when we had the first steering column replaced. Would you want your spouse or child driving these vehicles?

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 pontiac torrent. The contact stated that the stability, traction control, and ABS warning indicators kept randomly flashing. In addition, while the cruise control was engaged and traveling on bumpy roads, the cruise control failed and the vehicle decelerated to the point of potentially stalling. An independent mechanic replaced the exhaust gas recirculation valve twice; however, the failures continued. Also, the diagnostic trouble codes failed to illuminate, at times, during the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified and had not issued any recalls. The failure mileage was not available.

I have had this vehicle for a little over a year now. The entire year I have had this crappy vehicle it has done this. Every time I apply pressure to the breaks it pulsates back at me and makes a grinding noise. I have taken it in to a few different mechanics and they all said it was the ABS sensor in the wheel hub. So I replaced the wheel hubs and that made no difference. It still pulsates and grinds every time I stop. The break light and traction control light also illuminate after this happens. This is a serious problem and very dangerous. I live in wisconsin and with the snow and ice this is very dangerous! I have a kids who I drive around in this vehicle!! Gm needs to recall this!

Where to start as it wouldn't let me select more than 3 options. I bought my torrent in 06 with 65k miles on it and figured that a 40k/ 4 year warranty was a good idea. It was!! It all started when I took it to a car wash a week after buying it, well I exited the car wash and had no throttle with gas peddle, I was stuck. Brought it to the dealer and was told the tubes that allow the sun roof to drain were clogged and water backed up and traveled down the left front pillar and fried the throttle sensor. Replaced it and on I went. These tubes blocked up 3 more times in a few years only frying it one other time. Within the first 3 years with less than 80k miles every hub had to be replaced. The front passenger twice, and front drivers 3 times. 2 months after I bought it around 67k miles the drive shaft bearing needed replacing. Around 76k miles the entire drive shaft needed to be replaced. Around 85k miles the transmission needed to be replaced front a worn bearing that destroyed other internal parts. Around 83k miles the front left bearing needed to be replaced again, was told by the dealer that the knuckle may be the source of the problem as chips of material were seen to be falling off behind the hub. Just last week at only 101k miles the front left hub was bad again!! That makes 5 times on that alone. Various other issues include multiple ABS sensors failing prematurely more than once. I get annual alignments, brand new tires anually, have replaced struts and springs and was told by the dealer the entire bottom is rusting out the worst he's ever seen for a vehicle. These were all oem parts by the chevy dealer, not cheap aftermarket installed improperly by some backwoods mechanic. Can I just post this one lengthy complaint or do I need to create one for every issue?

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.
