How does Pontiac drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Pontiac drivetrain is damaged?

How often should I come in for Pontiac Torrent differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Torrent’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Torrent can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your Torrent’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Torrent's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Torrent.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Torrent?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Torrent?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Torrent’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Torrent forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair.
