problem #1

Dec 012004

Grand Prix 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,100 miles
"charging system failure" has appeared at least 12 times on the driver's message console that I have documented. It is also accompanied by the fan blower repeatedly cutting in and out when turned on. This has happened just about every time the fan is turned on. Have taken the vehicle in to have the problem checked at lambert Pontiac-Buick in cuyahoga falls, Ohio, and they stated they ran a computer diagnostic and could not determine what the problem was, and stated there was nothing they could do about it. Also, one time while accelerating it sounded as if the engine were about to cut off, but it did not. Vehicle only has 3200 miles on it.
