Okay so I am usually all about Pontiac but this car has been a pain in my ass and because of the TCC Solenoid failing frequently and the stalling when driving I could have gotten my 12-year-old daughter, my 2-year-old granddaughter and myself severely hurt or even worse!!! That is where I draw the line with this vehicle!!! First starts up runs great once the engine and transmission warm up and you stop at a light or go uphill it stalls cuts out and has no compression causing problems that could have went very badly in my situation. Ended up being yet again the TCC Solenoid located on the inside of my transmission (3rd time) within a year of the same issue and having to get it repaired. Pontiac needs to look at this issue especially on the Quad 4 engines.
