1994 PONTIAC TRANS SPORT Electrical System Problems

WENT TO HAVE AC CHARGED, FOUND THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, WINDSHIELD WIPERS (FRONT/BACK) WORK SPORADIICALLY, CONSUMER HAS TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE TO PUSH WIPERS DOWN WHEN STUCK. WENT IN FOR TRANSMISSION WORK FOUND THAT IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE, VAN JOLTS WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN GOING UP LARGE HILLS.*AKI

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN WITHOUT WARNING, IT STALLED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUED TO START, BY WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES, WE SAW SMOKE, THEN IMMEDIATELY FIRE. THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS BURNED BY TIME THE FIRE DEPT. ARRIVED. THE HIGHWAY PATROL CALLED AAA WHO TOWED IT TO MY USUAL GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO WARRANT FIXING. I CONTACTED THE PONTIAC CUST. ASSIST. CENTER AND WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE # AFTER FILING A REPORT. HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY RESIDENCE, WHERE IT IS NOW. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE NO RECOURSE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP VEHICLE WILL JUST GO DEAD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START AGAIN. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN AT COMPLETE STOP ENGINE STALLS, AFTER A FEW MINUTES WILL START AGAIN. *AK *SLC

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK, DEALER SAID THE MODULE HAS FAILED BUT THEY SEE AS GM PROBLEM. THE CONTROLS BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DASH ARE SHORTING OUT CHANGING EVERYTHING WHEN YOU DRIVE. SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED AS THEY BROKE RIGHT OFF. JUST SPENT $560.00 TO DEALER AND ALL I GOT WAS THE SEAT BELT FIXED. *AK

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND DIED. DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS A GROUND WIRE LOOSE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DELAER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK

A FIRE STARTED UNDERNEATH AT THE RIGHT PASSENGER'S SIDE DASH. HARNESS TO THE FUSES RUBBED UP AGAINST THE PLASTIC BRACE WHICH IS LOCATED UNDERNEATH FUSE PANEL AND GLOVE BOX, RESULTING IN BURNING AND MELTING OF THE WIRES. OWNER WANTS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR COST OF REPAIR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE SNAPPED, CAUSING THE GAS PEDAL TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE IS NOT RECEIVING ANY GAS AT ALL. ALSO, THE COMPUTER CHIP SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. CONTACT THE DEALER, AND THEY DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. *AK

MAIN COMPUTER MODULE MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING IGNITION TO FAIL. THIS, IN TURN, FOILED THE PLUGS/BURNED OUT PLUG WIRES/CARBONED UP THE THROTTLE AND INJECTORS. *AK

ELECTRCIAL FIRE BECAUSE OF THE WIRING. PLEASE DESCRIBE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM UNDERHOOD; PULLED OVER; ENGINE ENGULFED WITH FLAMES; ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO EXTINGUISH FIRE; VEHICLE TOTALED. TT
