What owners wrote
While driving my car on street I was struck on the passenger side in a intersection when a chevy maxi van struct me when running a red light. My airbag did not deploy and my vehicle was totalled. I sustained body injuries such as back and neck and financial hardship. I have never recovered from these injuries.
While driving to work in my pontiac grand prix gxp one morning I came to a stoplight. Car was running normal. I went to leave the light and the car did not move. The engine would just rev up. I was almost rear ended because when the light turned green I let off the brake and pressed the gas and I did not move. I thought I may have knocked the transmission into neutral but I looked down and the car was in drive. This is when I realized I was the next victim of the GM ls4 4t65e-hd combo kit.
