1992 Pontiac Sunbird SE Convertible review from North America
"Great bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within 24 hours the car was stalling at stop signs. Had to have towed to a repair shop. Started on its own within an hour.
Repair shop said the alternator had gone bad. Took it home and replaced the alternator and battery. Still same problem. Called the purchasing dealer and they told us to unplug a wire off the transmission (overdrive?), runs fine now.
Seals on the windows is in bad shape, power door lock on passenger side is bad, back window won't go up (power) without a few attempts. Emergency brake doesn't work.
General comments?
This car is nice inside except for cracks in the door panels at the tops above the arm rests.
Fun and very sporty and was only 3000.00, has a ton of pep.
Great shape interior.
