2007 Pontiac Torrent

My car says service stabilitrak and my traction control light is still on whether I hit the button or not I just spent a grand for it to be fixed and it I’m still having the same issue my brakes will lock up or my wheel locks up uncontrollably I have almost gotten into numerous accidents because of it.

Passenger air bag light on and seat belt light

gas tank leaking

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. JUMPED BATTERY TO GET STARTED. STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. SHUT OFF AFTER LETTING RUN TO CHARGE BATTERY. SHUIT OFF. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART AND THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE LAST TIME THE POWER STEERING MOTOR CONTROL AND THE STABILITY CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. ALL THIS WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. VEHICLE HAS 26000 MILES ON IT.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON, IT SAYS, "STABILITRAK OFF" , "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" , "SERVICE AIR BAG" , "SERVICE STABILITRAK".

DASH INDICATOR FOR PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG, WHICH I BELIEVE AFFECTS ALL AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE, 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT, TURNS ON WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED. I CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WAS DONE SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS ISSUED. REGARDLESS OF THAT FACT THE SENSOR HAS FAILED AGAIN AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS SENSOR ULTIMATELY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, THE SELLING DEALER SHOULD ASSUME THAT RESPONSIBILITY.PLEASE ADVISE OF MY RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER.

I'M DRIVING RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I PRESS MY BRAKES TO STOP , AND TURN ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT. I NOTICED THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN GREEN SO I ACCELERATE AND TURN LEFT. WHILE ACCELERATE GENTLY I'M TURNING LEFT I REALIZED MY LEFT TIRE FELT STUCK AND I HEARD AND LITTLE WEIRD NOISE. I PROCEED DRIVING STRAIGHT I PRESS THE BRAKES BECAUSE THERE WAS VEHICLE ENTERING BY TURNING RIGHT AND DRIVING STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKESI CONTINUE DRIVING PRESSING THE GAS PETAL ACCELERATING TO 5 SPEED MY VEHICLE SLOW DOWN . I DECIDED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE JUST DROVE VERY SLOW. I DECIDED TO MAKE A QUICK RIGHT ON THE APPROACHING STREET WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE STOP IT JUST FROZE. I WENT AHEAD AND LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD AND SEE AN CODE THAT'S SAYS STABILIZE TRAC AND OTHER CODES . I PARK THE VEHICLE AND TOOK THE KEYS OF THE KEY IGNITION AND INSERT THE KEYS BACK TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD STARTED SO , I DECIDED TO PARK THE CAR WHEN I DID PARK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE END UP TURNING OFF . I WASN'T ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE ON. THE VEHICLE JUST WOULDN'T START ON. THERE IS A CODE STATING A STABILITY TRAK CODE ON THE DASHBOARD AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE BATTERY. I WAS VERY CONCERN BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER THAT'S 2YEARS OLD AND 11 MONTHS WAS WITH ME AND I HAD TO THINK FAST AND BE CAUTIOUS. I ENDS UP TOWING MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC. THIS IS MY RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR ME AN MY DAUGHTER . IF YOU CAN ASSIST ME WITH MY SITUATION I CAN BE REACH AT EMAIL: [XXX], OR CONTACT: [XXX]. SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY PASSENGER SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. THE IGNITION SWITCH CLICKS CONSTANTLY. THE KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR ENGINE SKIPS WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN OR ACCELERATE. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I'M DRIVING HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN EXCEPT FOR WHEN I'M PARKED AND THE KEYS GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. PLEASE HELP!!

WHEN I START MY 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT, IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. BEGINNING WHEN I START MY CAR TO THE TIME I TURN IT OFF, IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. I FLY THROUGH GASOLINE AND CANNOT FILL MY TAN ANYMORE THAN $10.00 OR ELSE IT GOES TO WASTE. SMELLS LIKE THERE IS A LEAK OR CRACK SOMEWHERE TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT'S A EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR!

Passenger side air bag light is staying off even when an adult is seated there.

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHY MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY, I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE IS FAILING. AFTER A SHORT SEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL. ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE PRESENCE MODULES ARE INTEGRAL TO OCCUPANT SAFETY THEY SHOULD BE GOOD FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REAR ENDED IN OCTOBER OF 2019, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD GLAZES AS SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE CLEARLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALEY BUICK GMC MIDLOTHIAN (9831 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000

FOR THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS MY CAR HAS BEEN SMELLING LIKE GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY GAS CAP NOT SEALING. I BOUGHT A COUPLE NEW GAS CAP'S I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONE FROM ANOTHER TORRENT. IT DOES SEAL BUT SOMETIMES IT COMES UNSEALED. I HAVEN'T HAD THE ISSUE LOOKED AT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. EVERY TIME I'M IN MY CAR I FEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE. IT'S EVEN SCARIER WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME. YESTERDAY I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOOK MY CAR OUT OF THE BAY IMMEDIATELY. THEY TOLD ME I HAD A SEVERE FUEL LEAK AND I SHOULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE MY CAR COULD EXPLODE. THERE IS A MECHANIC RIGHT NEXT-DOOR AND THEY VERIFIED THAT I DO INDEED HAVE A BAD FUEL LEAK. TODAY THEY VERIFIED THAT INDEED MY FUEL PUMP HAD A SEVERE LEAK. I AM HAVING TO HAVE IT REPLACED. FROM RESEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ISSUES LIKE THIS I FOUND THAT GM RECALLED THE 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH CAMPAIGN NUMBER OF 12V459000. THE RECALL IS FOR FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX MY CAR AND GET A NEW FUEL PUMP. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO KEEP MYSELF AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S SAFE IN MY CAR.. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS FOR MANY YEARS NOW BUT DID NOT NOTIFY ALL OWNERS. IT SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL NOT JUST A RECALL FOR A FEW STATES. MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP.

FOR THE PAST YEAR OR TWO MY CAR HAS BEEN SMELLING LIKE GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY GAS CAP BECAUSE IT STOPPED SEALING. I REPLACED IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH A NEW ONE. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET AN ORIGINAL GAS CAP FROM ANOTHER TORRENT FROM FROM A JUNKYARD. THE GAS CAP GOES ON AND SEALS BUT STILL SOMETIMES COMES UNSEALED. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING REGARDING THE SMELL OF GAS BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT OR HAVE ANYBODY LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I DECIDED TO GO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY CAR OUT OF THE BAY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO STOP DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE THERE IS A SEVERE FUEL LEAK AND MY CAR COULD EXPLODE. THANKFULLY THERE IS A MECHANIC RIGHT NEXT-DOOR AND I HAD THEM LOOK AND THERE IS A VERY BAD FUEL LEAK. TOMORROW I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THEM DROP THE TANK SO THAT THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS LEAKING. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ISSUES LIKE THIS AND I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL FROM GM FOR A FUEL PUMPS FOR A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT THE RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 12V459000. HOWEVER, THIS RECALL STATES THAT MY CAR DOESN'T QUALIFY. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME I HAVE READ SO MANY THINGS ON THIS SITE THAT SHOW MANY OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS OR SO THE SMELL OF THE FUEL HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR I HAVE THOUGHTS AND VISIONS OF IT BLOWING UP. IT SCARES ME WHEN I HAVE TO HAVE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME I FEAR FOR THEM. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY CAR LATELY AND WITH MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE FROM A LEAKING FUEL PUMP. I FEEL THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AND OR REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX A DEFAULTED FUEL PUMP THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS KNOWN ABOUT BUT HAS NOT NOTIFIED ALL OWNERS OF A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY GRANDDAUGHTERS SHOULD BE SAFE IN MY CAR.

FOR MY SAFETY I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THIS FAULTY FUEL PUMP COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY.

THE VEHICLE DELAYS SPEED ALMOST TO A CRAWL DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. I SMELL GAS CONSTANTLY. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING. BUT THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG WHEN I GET GAS, GO AROUND CORNERS, AND WHEN IT'S WARM OUT. THE FUMES GIVE MY HUSBAND AND I HEADACHES. I FEAR FOR MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE CAR. THE FUEL LINES WERE REPLACED LAST SPRING TO PASS EMISSIONS TESTING. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED FOR FUEL PROBLEMS IN WARMER STATES. HOWEVER, THE STATE I LIVE HAS EXTREME TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS FROM HOT TO COLD. AND GETS VERY COLD HERE IN THE WINTER. I'M NOT SURE IF THE EXTREME CHANGES COULD AFFECT WHAT PART WAS RECALLED. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. SO AS TO THE DURATION OF THE ONGOING ISSUE, I AM UNSURE. ALTHOUGH, I'VE HAD IT NOW FOR A MONTH.

2007 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH A STRONG GAS ODOR NEAR THE REAR OF THE CAR AFTER PARKED. UPON PUTTING THE CAR ON A LIFT, DISCOVERED GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. RESEARCHED AND FOUND RECALLS ON THIS MODELS IN CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES, BUT, NOT IN ILLINOIS. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT ARE NOT IN THE RECALL STATES. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO AVOID A DANGEROUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THIS VEHICLE COULD BE REGISTERED IN A RECALL STATE AND IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. WAS A DEAL STRUCK WITH GENERAL MOTORS? THE RECALL NUMBER FOR SOUTHER STATES IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE)

ABS, STABILITRACK SERVICE/OFF, SERVICE ENGIN LIGHTS, NO WAY TO FIX!
