I purchased my 2007 torrent new, my service traction control light, traction control off has been coming on since I bought it. The performance and handling were not affected, it ran with no problems. I took it to the dealer to inquire about this problem. I was told it will reset itself and it did, no problem. Beginning of december 2013, I was attempting to merge into traffic moving about 50mph, my torrent had no problem merging before, as I began to enter the traffic there were three dings, traction control off. This time engine power reduced, totally unexpected. The torrent would not accelerate above 15 MPH, it felt like the brakes were holding the vehicle back the engine was revving at 4000 RPM. Turned off car, waited a minute restarted, ran fine. Engine power reduced comes on a daily ba

Bought in 2012, had about 43k miles on it. 2 years ago issue with stabitrack, took to autonomy shop, said it was a fuse. Paid $400* to replace. Over the past several months issues with stabitrack again. One point the traction control turned off and when that happened the reduce power and engine cuts off. This past weekend it happened again but this time when the engine turns on its a loud knocking noice and now the smell of oil. Taking it to a gm dealer because of all the issues. It has 113448 miles on it. I drive 64 round trip in one day back and forth to work. I cannot drive a veichlelike that on the highway. I'm hoping it's something simple but going to a dealer I know it won't be. Since now there is a smell of oil and the looks of something that has sprayed all over the engine area.

On 11-10-16 we smelled gas outside the car after exiting the vehicle. We took it to our local mechanic. The nearest gm dealer is about 20 miles from our home. They checked the problem, found the fuel line on the fuel pump module cracked and leaking. They said we would have a fire soon if this was not repaired immediately. They removed and replaced fuel pump module. We paid for the repair...$592 for part & $200 labor. After repair, I called the dealer to see if this was a common problem with our vehicle. They said, yes, there is a "open service bulletin" for that vehicle with a reimbursement clause. We took the required paperwork to the dealer. They found that the reimbursement clause expired 7-31-2014, but there is no expiration if it is repaired at a dealer. If we had been aware of this p

The key continues to get stuck in the ignition, I brought my vehicle to the dealership a few years ago when it started happening, but it did not display the problem at the time so it can not be fixed. Now the problem has gotten worse where it is happening everytime I turn off my SUV and the key will not release until an hour later, which is draining the battery. I have had to purchase new batteries before needed and car unable to restart because of the drain battery. This has been an ongoing issue for me, which has left me stranded. Several other pontics have had the same problem.

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.

Air bag service light illuminated on the dash. Service air bag message appeared in drivers information center. *tr

For sometime my vehicle airbags have been showing a warning that they are not working and need to be serviced ,I called Pontiac because after researching this I saw that they had a recall on some of these vehicles but they said mine is not affected by this . Well apparently it is because it isn't working correctly and they don't want to be the one to have it checked ,I have to do it at my expense or just wait for an accident to find out. *tr

There has been a strong gas odor. Then it would start "missing" when we were driving it. We took it to our mechanic. He called to order the fuel pump. It was on back order. We had to wait until the part came in almost 2 weeks to have it repaired. It was very costly. *tr

Soon after purchase of vehicle on above date I began to notice a smell of gas outside the vehicle. Recently an independent station indicated they saw gas leak evidence on the gas tank, and before repair I should check for recall, since they had made similar repairs before. I did research to discover NHTSA campaign id number: 12v459000, indicating recall of fuel pump assemblies that have failed and were fire dangers. The gm recall center said there was no recall for my vehicle, and the local gm dealership also confirmed there was no recall according to my VIN. I believe the manufacturer may have limited the recall to not include cars that are in fact defective, and would like for the NHTSA to investigate. *tr

During heavy rain while driving on the highway, the ABS system engaged without any use of the brakes causing the car to pull from side to side as the ABS system applied alternating brakes. This repeated at least 4 times during a 1.5 to 2 hour highway drive. Once off the highway at a lower speed the problem did not happen again. I brought the car into the dealer for service. They could not identify and did not try to recreate the problem. I have avoided highway driving in heavy rain and have not had the problem again. When taking the car in to the dealer for an oil change the other day, they insisted on installing a black box with red button. The system is masking taped to the dash of my car and the button is in my cup holder. I have been instruct to press the red button if the prob

I cut my car on this morning and the service traction control, service stabilitrac, and ABS lights were on. They stayed on throughout my drive to take my son to and from school. I just got this vehicle last night and the dealer said everything checked out fine as car was placed "gm on a roll inspection". It was checked 2 days in a row and I have the paperwork showing as nothing wrong. I check on it today online and it seems to be a common issue with this vehicle. *tr
