Tl*the contact owns a 1997 pontiac bonneville. While driving at 55 MPH the accelerator pedal became stuck and the vehicle sped into full throttle. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but was unable to stop the vehicle. The contact had to shift the gear into reverse in order to stop the vehicle. The failure contained no warning indicators. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop and when the mechanic started the vehicle, it was still at full throttle. The mechanic replaced the transmission.
The intake manifold or the plemium whatever you want to call the thing wore out and all of my engine coolant went into the fuel cylinders and locked my motor down I was headed to macon ga from douglas,ga going to the hospital were they had transfered my brother and here I am in perry,ga broke down because pontiac puts a plastic intake manifold on a motor I feel like pontiac should have to pay for this part being replaced.
