2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi review from North America
"This is a bad car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 72 miles a hole in the crank case caused all of the oil to leak out. The panels in the trunk had to be replaced because they kept falling off. The steering makes a loud moaning noise and it has been into the shop 4 times for repair. It still has not been repaired. The right side power mirror stopped working. The plastic inside the fire wall on the front ride side fell off. The front driver door and rear driver side door do not line up properly. Finally, the plastic cover to the stereo fell off.
General comments?
The car is very quick and comfortable to drive.
I've yet to go a full duration between oil changes without needing something repaired.
