problem #2

Nov 212014

Grand Prix GXP 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,000 miles

While sitting at a red light, when light changed, pushed on the accelerator and the only thing that happened was the engine rev'd up. Checked all the gears to include reverse with no affect, car just sat. No warning, no unusual shifting issues leading up to complete failure.
