Pontiac Engine Problems
Engine problems in certain Pontiac Vibe and Grand Prix vehicles led General Motors to conduct safety recalls in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Manufacturing defects in these Pontiac engines may result in potentially deadly traffic accidents or engine fires.
2010 Recall
In November 2010, General Motors recalled certain 2005-through-2008 model year Pontiac Vibes for a manufacturing defect in the engine control module. The circuit board may crack, which may result in the engine not starting or the engine shutting off while the vehicle is in use.
2009 Recall
In May 2009, General Motors recalled certain 1997-through-2003 model year Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles equipped with 3.8-liter V-6 naturally aspirated engines for a condition in which drops of engine oil may become deposited on the exhaust manifold through hard braking. An engine compartment fire could occur.
2008 Recall
In April 2008, General Motors recalled certain 1997-through-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles equipped with 3.8-liter Supercharged V-6 engines over a defect that may cause an engine fire. Gasket temperatures in the cars front rocker covers may become high enough to cause early degradation of the front rocker cover gasket and oil seepage.
Here's the full list of Pontiac problems, recalls and complaints for last 15 years.
