"A bad experience"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The controller to direct the outlet air from the heat and air conditioning system would operate randomly on its own, and constantly make opening and closing noises. The Pontiac dealer could not fix it in nine attempts, and the Pontiac corporation did not respond to my requests for help.

The driver's heated seat quit working.

The driver's power seat quit working.

The right front fender came loose.

The radio/CD player died and had to be replaced.

While I recognize that the car has a stiff suspension system, the ride is too rough for my preference.

The battery died and left us stranded. It had to be replaced at only 40,000 miles.

Sometimes the driver's power window would not operate.

General comments?

We purchased the car based upon (a) our previous positive experience with a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville and (b) its styling.

History and looks proved deceiving.

Dealer service and the interest of Pontiac to correct the problems were terrible.

We replaced it with a foreign car that has performed flawlessly. We may never buy American again.

I agree, this car looks great and turns a lot of heads, but in reality it is just another poorly engineered piece of junk. My next car will be an import.

Good looking car. Quality inconsistant--Poor paint method for the East Coast-Most GM cars in this area have to be repainted after two years.
