1996 Pontiac Sunfire GT review from North America
"This car is a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two weeks after I bought the car, the brakes went costing me $500.
During the winter, the gas fumes were coming in threw the heat. The antifreeze was also leaking so that had to be replaced. Cylinder head gasket $900.
The inside panels of the car starting falling off. I still haven't had them put back on.
There had to be a button put in so I could start the car.$65.00.
The gas pedal got stuck down. The belt also had to be replaced. About $250.
The transmission the went.$1,800.
I just had the ignition replaced and it still stalls when I'm at a stop light.$500.
The AC also doesn't work anymore.
General comments?
The car is nice to drive, when it decides to run.
