1995 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"Trade it in before 50K"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant leaked into fuel intake system. Upper and Lower manifolds replaced, gaskets, valve covers, plugs, etc. ($1,335.00)
Transmission failed ($2,500)
Computer failed, reports all error codes, will not clear.
Replaced Serpentine Belt.
Replaced Spark Plug Wires.
Replaced thermostat, twice.
General comments?
I really liked the way this car handled and drove. It appeared well-maintained when I purchased it and I have had it serviced regularly.
I can't believe how many expensive repairs have been required in the last two weeks.
