For example, located in the categories section of the blog there are 2 names that jump out at me that will probably never receive another post.</p> <p><a href="http://the-grayline.com/category/saturn">Saturn</a></p> <p><a href="http://the-grayline.com/category/pontiac">Pontiac</a></p> <p>I wonder if we will be seeing any other manufacturers disappearing after the first of the year? </p> http://the-grayline.com/forum/topic/pontiac-g8-recall#post-91 Wed, 27 May 2009 17:46:43 +0000 cldnails 91@http://the-grayline.com/forum/ <p>General Motors is recalling about 35,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from the 2008 and 2009 model years to correct two separate defects.</p> <p>In a defect notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the automaker explains that, in some G8s, "The brake pedal position switch may have been incorrectly programmed. With this condition, the brake lamps may be continually illuminated," leaving drivers behind a G8 unable to tell when the car is actually braking. Also, G8s equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system may have a separate problem. The notice explains, "Certain vehicles may have incorrect values programmed into the tire pressure monitoring system," meaning the system might failed to warn of an under inflated tire.</p> <p>Pontiac dealers will correct both defects free of charge. Dealers will begin contacting owners in early June, but those who wish to make their own repair arrangements may contact Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668. </p> http://the-grayline.com/forum/topic/no-more-pontiac#post-34 Fri, 01 May 2009 22:39:58 +0000 PorscheMike 34@http://the-grayline.com/forum/ <p>It's horrible. They should have made Pontiac a sub-brand/specialty brand for a couple models. I do agree they make too many cars though across GM's different makes. </p> http://the-grayline.com/forum/topic/no-more-pontiac#post-32 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:25:24 +0000 cldnails 32@http://the-grayline.com/forum/ <p>It's sad anytime a legendary brand like Pontiac goes the way of the DoDo. This is especially true with a car manufacturer that just recently generated a ton of buzz with the return of the GTO. Car enthusiasts the world over are already mourning the loss.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/625338">Enthusiast Mourning</a><br /> <a href="http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/for-pontiac-quality-comes-too-late/?hpw">Quality Comes Too Late</a> </p>
