2009 Pontiac Torrent — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 986 evidence records for the 2009 Pontiac Torrent, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

  • Owner complaints (1,250 records, model years 2006–2009) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, air bags (restraint system) and electrical system.
  • Manufacturer communications (4,380 records, model years 2006–2009) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
