1997 Pontiac Bonneville SE review from North America
"Pontiac paper weight!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 37,000 miles had to replace the water pump!
At 39,000 miles had two oil leaks, rear main seal, oil pan was warped!!!! Cost of 742.56$$$$, called the dealer, told me out of warranty, had to pay for the repair myself. Atill fighting with GM about bill!!!!!
Now the car is using oil at about the rate of half a quart every 500 miles, and now the fuel pump is making very loud noises!!!!! Does anyone else have any problems!!!!!!
General comments?
Will never buy another GM product again!!! Why doesn't GM back the cars like our foreign counter parts.....!!!!!!!!!
