| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The oil pressure switch went bad and pumped all the oil out of the engine ruining it within minutes with no warning to the operator. the pontiac dealer said there was no way for me to know what happened until it was too late. if i was not pulled over by a police officer telling me the car was smoking i would not have known until i stopped that i was smoking. i am alarmed pontiac has refused any blame for engineering an engine part to fail and ruin the engine without any prior indication. i had no option to try and prevent this problem. it is a defect in manufacturing to happen at 44,000 miles and ruin my engine.*ak |
