Front crash against a solid corner of a building, aprox speed crash 45 mph. GM did not want to repair or replaced, instead faced a trial where they committed a fraud and other felonious, all of them proven, still after nearly 9 years still facing civil and criminal charges. GM dealer with false statement still now a days keeps the vehicle, same that still can be analyzed now a days because it has not been repaired. Lots of damage caused by GM, dealers, lawyers and expert witnesses. Regret very much such a poor behavior of GM, I MA ready to supply as much information as needed, photos, reports, and courts documents that proves their felonious. A GM expert witness submitted to the court a false report, and also bought the official expert witness of the court, these felonies have already been proved bythe court, that is why now they are facing a civil and criminal charges, for GM if not quality good is the fraud!!!!!

The contact owns a 2001 Pontiac aztec. While driving 25 mph or greater, the vehicle would accelerate approximately 10-15 mph. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated before acceleration. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed a map sensor. The map sensor was replaced and the air vents were disconnected, however, the failure continued to occur. The current and failure mileages were 84,000.

The odometer light did not illuminate. Contacted the dealer, and was told there was nothing they could do. Also, consumer contacted the manufacturer, and was told the same thing. Problem recurred....consumer maintained that not having odometer visible is a safety violation, an dpontiac should pay for the repairs, which they refused.

Electrical system is continuously going out. Driver is not aware of the speed due to odometer not functioning, nor how much gas is in the gas tank due to fuel gauge failure.
