There are a lot of recalls on my poniac Grand Prix SE. They have affected the safety of myself and my child. The steering fluid leaks from the car after something was replaced on a recall a while back. Recently while I was in traffic my car stopped going and overheated a lot. This car always runs hot. It may have something to do with the most recent recall. But this car will no longer even start up. How do I find out if the recalls are responsible for my car breaking down on me? also in the letter I received in the mail said to park my car and not drive it. Yet the didn't have the parts in to replace and fix the issue. Is there a way to be compensated for this. I need a reliable car and really wish I hadn't purchased one with so many issues.

Re: GM recall15757. Concern continuing failure to repair my vehicle (according to GM, parts on indefinite recall). Vehicle was recalled and repaired (supposedly), original recall no. 07035 in April 2008. Recalled for same issue in December 2015 and notice by GM of parts available and solution in February 2016. Took vehicle (3 weeks ago) to Chevrolet/GM dealership. Informed yesterday and today by both dealer (henry brown, casa grande, AZ) and Pontiac customer assistance center that repair parts have not been distributed and are on permanent backorder. I have complied, tried to not park vehicle in garage (even though against tenants/cc's of hoa). GM sent letter in February saying parts were available, repair would take approximately 55 minutes and to contact a GMC dealership to have repairs made. Today they say no repairs whatsoever across the entire nation have not been made because repair parts not available. This do not seem to be an acceptable solution, especially since they notified owners that a second repair had been re-engineered and parts were available. The last letter was sent by jeffery M. boyer, vp, global vehicle safety, GMC. Can you please help!!!

My husband and I was driving my 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix to the gas station.there was a vehicle in front of us so he turned the engine off to wait for a pump.the store employees came running out yelling your car is on fire.we all got out and pushed it back away from the pumps.this could have hurt a lot of people.it was a very tramatic experience!the fire department showed up and put the flames out.it burned the engine, hood, bumper, tires.left me without a car! this car had been taken to the dealer and the recall was fixed the first time there was a recall.why did it take so long to figure out the first recall wasn't going to work.was this covered up too.I got a recall notice dated December 2015.that's the reason I found this site.
