2002 Pontiac Sunfire

WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY PONTIAC THAT MY SUNROOF SHOULD BE SERVICED YEARLY TO PREVENT LEAKS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD GM HAS NO RECOMMENDED SERVICE YET EVERYWHERE I HAVE ASKED HAS TOLD ME IT NEEDS SERVICED OR YOU WILL HAVE LEAKS. DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. NOW I HAVE CLOGGED DRAIN LINES AND HAVE WATER LEAKING INTO MY TRUNK, AND THE WATER HAS DAMAGED MY BACK SPEAKERS. ALSO, I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SHIFTER LIGHT. I HAVE CALLED AROUND AND THE ONLY PLACE I CAN HAVE IT FIXED AT IS THE DEALER AND I AM LOOKING AT $130.00 JUST IN LABOR FOR A BAD LIGHT BULB. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR TO YOUR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE A PART, SUCH AS A LIGHT THAT WILL BURN OUT, UNREPLACEABLE BY ANYONE BUT THE DEALERS WHO THEN IN TURN CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES TO DO THE REPAIRS. SO NOW I HAVE WATER IN MY TRUNK NO BACK SPEAKERS AND CAN'T SEE WHAT GEAR I AM IN AT NIGHT ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 42000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE LOOKS WRECKED AND I AM HAVING TO REPLACE FRONT STRUTS AND MOUNTS AS WELL AS RACK AND PINION. I NEVER WRECKED THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE ELSE DRIVES MY CAR! *NM

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LOCKS AND HAS TO BE UNBUCKELED- RECOILED- AND RELATCHED, THUS LEAVING THE PASSENGER UNPROTECTED. THE DEALER STATES THE BELT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I FEEL THIS IS AN USATISFACTORY AND DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEATBELT MECHANISM AND FURNISHED THE SEAT BELT EXTENDER, HOWEVER, THE SEAT BELT STILL LOCKS AND HAS TO BE REMOVED AND REBUCKELED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, LEAVING THE PASSENGER UNPROTECTED. *TT *JB

CONSUMER STATES: BLINKERS MALFUNCTIONED, WHEN TURNING ON BLINKERS AT TIMES THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. THEN, OTHER TIMES, THEY WILL WORK AND BLINK 2 OR 3 TIMES, THEN QUIT. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM. HAPPENED NO MATTER WHAT THE SPEED. DEALER DIDN'T ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT VEHICLE, AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

1. OCCURED WITHOUT WARNING; . LOWER FRONT WHEEL CONTROL ARM RETAINER BOLT LOOSENED ALLOWING CONTROL ARM TO MOVE FREELY, ALLOWING WHEEL TO CONTACT INNER FENDER LINER WHICH LOCKED THE WHEEL CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THERE IS NO POSITIVE LOCKING APPARATUS ON BOLT (COTTER PIN OR SIMILAR) TO PREVENT LOOSENING. BOLT IS ORIENTED HEAD DOWN SO ONCE LOOSE, VIBRATION AND GRAVITY WILL INVARIABLY CAUSE BOLT TO FALL OUT. 3. BOLT WAS REPLACED AND TIGHTENED SECURELY. *AK

MY 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES, WHETHER IN MOTION OR AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN EVER THE CLUTCH IS PUT IN. ISSUE BEGAN IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY WITH ONLY 33,817 MILES, BUT AFTER MULTIPLE TESTDRIVES AND JUST NORMAL DRIVING, THIS ISSUE HAS CARRIED OVER ONTO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE INITIAL DAY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE WAS 10/8/2004, LAST TIME IT WAS IN FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WAS 3/4/2005 AND STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE SERVICE ADVISORS FLAT OUT SAY, "HONESTLY, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX IT." SO, I CONTINUE DRIVING THIS CAR THAT DOES AND CAN STALL OUT GOING 60-70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I AM CURRENTLY 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND HAVE STRESSED AND WORRIED ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR MAJORITY OF MY PREGNANCY.*AK

THE CONSUMER 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE STALLED AND WOULD START UP AFTER BEING OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE. *BF THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE CONSUMER READ ABOUT AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION IN REFERENCE TO AN IN TANK FUEL STRAINER WHICH COULD COLLAPSE CAUSING STALLING. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THIS MAY BE THE CAUSE OF HER VEHICLE STALLING AND REQUEST THAT THE MANUFACTURER RECALL AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *NM
