| Vehicle began having hard starting problems where it will not start though it keeps cranking over and over or knocks very badly then sputters out. this can go on 2 or 3 times before it starts. it is intermittent but seems to occur if the vehicle has been running, is shut off, and restarting is attempted after 15-30 minutes. usually if it sits for several hours or overnight it starts on the first try. dealership has not known what it is but believes it is most likely a fuel system component. | |||

| My 2006 pontiac torrent will not crank on the first time most times. it takes several tries before it will crank. i have had it checked and nobody can figure out what is wrong. sometimes it will crank fine. a few people have mentioned a relay issue. also, brakes have started making a grinding noise off and on. brakes are not ready to be replaced and no issue can be found. the odometer light has gone out and comes off and on. i was told this could be a cluster issue. i bought this vehicle in 2007 from a dealership and have had alot of problems over the last year. over the last month, i have been hearing a sloshing sound coming from the back. it sounds like my gas is sloshing around and i have never heard that before. it seems like it is falling apart and it does not even have 86,000 miles on it. i take care of it and keep the maintenance up on it. i see that alot of other people are having the same sort of issues with the cranking but no recall has been filed because pontiac has not received enough complaints! this is rediculous! i am just waiting for my car to catch on fire from one of the issues or another! i have tried to enter my vin number but it will not take it and it meets all of your criteria. i called the helpline and they said to just skip it. i will enter it here. the vin is 2ckd163f166042391. | |||
