I complained numerous times before about Pontiac, and the theft deterrent system going out five times standing my wife, children, gradndchildren and myself. This time we all were on vbacation and the motor blew up. Pontiac refused to pay the re[lacement cost of $5,500. The stupid car should have bee recalled and you did nothing.
