This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Pontiac - GMC notice G98066 states a possible failure of the linear exhaust gas recirculation (legr) valve. It clearly states the failure except for the loss of brakes. When the valve sticks open vacuum is lost which causes sudden loss of the power brakes. This has occured 3 times. They will only repair or replace the value which is the result but not the cause. I would like two things: 1) a new notice to all owners about the break loss and 2) a correction of the problem ( which I.'m told requires the intake manafold to be removed & cleaned.
Was at stop light and egr valve became stuck due to carbon buildup. Also, vacuum presure to master cylinder was not slowing brakes at low speeds. Have no brake pressure.
