1989 Pontiac Bonneville LE review from North America
"A very sturdy vehicle that I would buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have owned this vehicle I have had to replace the rack & pinion steering mechanism, an alternator, and it appears that a water pump may be next in line.
The front passenger window is often problematic, and that same door will no longer open (these things are understandable considering the mileage on the vehicle).
The biggest problem that I have now is a battery drain, causing me to have to charge my battery every few days or so.
General comments?
Overall, I like this car a lot and only wish that it didn't sit so low.
