Catalytic converter had to be replaced at 95,000 km (blew up at the dealership)
Interior moldings are breaking apart or coming loose. Seats and carpet have remained in good shape.
Minor steering problems. Left and right ball joints and other steering parts.
Computer problems are the biggest pain in the #@*. Cooling system light comes on when accelerating. No one can figure this one out. Check engine light comes on frequently. When the humidity is high and there has been rain, the engine sputters, backfires and will not idle.
Most times it eventually recovers and the check engine light goes out.
I have been told that this is a known problem with this car and it's computer related.
The only other bad thing is the suspension. You feel every imperfection of a badly paved road!
After reading many comments on the sun fire GT, I think I have been one of the luckier owners of this car. It has been a reliable, economical and sexy sports car. My plan has been to hold on to this car and use it as a reliable second car. I'm going to the dealership for the last time to try to solve this computer problem and hope that I won't have to sell it.
You feel every bump because you bought the GT model with performance tires and a stiffer suspension.
