First off, was pushed into this car by the dealership. Did not want a two door, manual small car. Was pregnant and did not want to climb out of a car.
4 months after we got it the transaxle started to slip very rapidly. A day and a half after it started to slip the transaxle had to be replaces costing us over $2500.
6 months after we got the transaxle fixed it went again, had the clutch replaced and everything by the same dealership and this time it cost us $1600 - guess they gave us a discount the 2nd time.
4 more months after we had it repaired the second time it started to go again. Found that it was leaking fluid and then found that the transmission drain plug thing was not put in properly. Replaced the plug ourselves for $15 and added fluid ourselves for $10 and have not had a problem since.
In my personal opinion I would NEVER buy another Sunfire in my life, not even if my life depended on it.
Since we have gotten rid of that Sunfire, we've acquired a Ford Windstar which runs perfect.
Hahaha you will regret the ford windstar comment, they are pure junk, 3 transmissions in 1 year of me owning it I dumped it for a few grand and very glad! I now have a '96 sunfire and its OK, not too special, but better than a windstar by FAR!
Your problem was with the garage, not the car.
