1995 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America
"The worst mistake of my life !!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too many problems to list.
The battery was the only thing good with the car
General comments?
Well to start off with heater fan motor went 2 months after I bought the car. Then there was this rattle in the muffler that was getting to be annoying. I took the car back to the dealer to have it looked at and after that was said and done I ended up leaving the dealer with the same annoying noise. The car worked fair for the next 3 and a half years even though it had a head gasket replaced! When I went to get it road inspected it cost me $1700.00!
The stero system in the car works ok , but forget about listening to an AM radio station because the Am stations do not come in (Fm stations do though).The clock built into the radio does not wook either and I am not about to have the entire dash ripped up for that!
I was a sucker and kept the car at that point. BIG MISTAKE!!!
I had to replace the Torque Converter switch, the fuel injectors started to leak, then I had to replace the wiper motor. The list goes on and on and on.
