2000 Pontiac Sunfire SE from North America - Comments

If it doesn't crank slow, it's not a battery, did you check to see if you have spark? Did you check your fuel pressure, are there any codes in pcm. We can guess all day long, but it could cost you lot's of money.

AC resistor is busted on mine too. Maybe at the same time as the cig lighter stopped working.

Got a 2001 Sunfire with the service light on, running lights flicker then stay off... got high beam, but now low beam. service chap told me they need to replace the entire wire system for the head lamps. GM is aware of this and isn't doing anything about it. this is why my next car will not be made in America. Cya GM!

I also have a 2000 sunfire I have replaced the Fuel pump 2 times now and I have the blower problem, but now I have a brake light problem has anyone had this one yet please let me know femalefirefighter811@yahoo.com.

Hello, I have a 2000 Sunfire and have had an extreme list of problems.

1. Back speakers don't work

2. Check engine light

3. Service light

4. DRL problems

5. Chugging when accelerating

6. Exhaust problems

All cost me a long amount of time and money.

My advice, don't buy one, or if you have one, sell it.

I have a 2000 sunfire and had the blower problem at position #1 within 1 year - GM repaired it free of charge. Just this year I have had a new problem with the blower blowing the 15A fuse. It started slowly, where a new fuse would last weeks. Now the fuse blows immediately when the fan is switched on. The blower seems OK and the relay (near fuse) is OK. Other than paying $100's to have someone replace the harness, any ideas?

I am buying a 2000 pontiac sunfire gt. It was my brothers, and I just took over the payments. When he was driving it, he hit a bump traveling around 55 mph, and both passenger side wheels were warped. Then after they were replaced, I hit a bump and the rear wheel was warped. The passenger side power window stopped working. The pontiac dealership said like "99 dollars for labor, 140 dollars for a power window motor, and if the regulator on the window was bad it would be around 399 dollars. I found a company on-line that makes power windows. I bought one for 34.99 and I tried to replace it. I do not recommend doing this unless of course you have prior experience. It was very hard, and I had to take it to a mechanic to fix my mess. Less than a year later, the passenger window went out again. Recently the driver side window is going out. The fog lights went out. one of the parking lights went out. The low beam head lamps stopped working. Bright lights seem to work fine. So I changed the headlamps, and that didn't do anything. I giggled the light switch back and forth from low-beam to high-beam and finally the lights came on. Sometimes while driving they go out and will not come back on unless I flick the switch back and forth. Daytime running lights seem work fine. I put a new c.d. player in it, but I had to buy a 100 dollar wiring harness, because of the door chime. Also, if my driver door is open and I leave the key in the ignition, sometimes the door chime will not go off and I have to disconnect the battery cable. I haven't taken my car to a mechanic yet about my lights, so if anyone has any info on the problem please e-mail me at wolverines65@yahoo.com my name is Jamie. Thank you.

The DRL problem isn't only common to the 2000+ Model years. I have a 97' Sunfire 2dr, that the DRL do not work, and the indicator light just blinks while the car is running. The driverside headlamp stays dim, and when the high beams are on, it gets even dimmer.

#1, 2, and 3 on my AC/Heater blower don't work either. So I guess you can say these cars were problematic from the beginning and GM never came up with a solution to improve them.

I purchased a 2001 sunfire this summer, and recently a TC light has come on, it is yellow with a line through the letters, does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it?? Also, I have no sort of warning that my keys are still in the ignition, or the fact that my lights are still when the car is off, how come?? AND... my radio doesn't shut off even though the car is off and no one is in the car...WHY? If anybody has ANY suggestions and/or insight to my car problems, please help!!!

I bought a 2000 Sunfire and one year ago I shut the car off and come back and it would not start. It rolls over, but don’t start there is spark and the fuel pump comes on. I towed it to a friend and it started. Now the same problem has come back for the third time. Any ideas!

I own a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire and am on my 3rd electrical harness. The issue now is fog lights. They do not work and I have no idea how to get them to work. Also, sometimes, when I go to use the left turn light it does not work. You can replace the bulb and it will work again, but who knows for how long? Sometimes months, weeks or even down to days. If anyone can give advice on the fog lights, it would be greatly appreciated. We live in a state where the car must pass state inspection. If it does not pass and we don't know how to figure it out, we will be 'forced' to buy a new car. Of course not GM:) Thank to anyone that can help.

I am having the same problems with non-working daytime running lights and lack of headlights on our 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. If everyone on here would file a complaint about this with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (nhtsa.dot.gov), then maybe GM would finally be forced into a recall situation.

I also have the DRL problem. Bought new headlights and put them in. Still have the same problem. All the other lights on the car are fine. I replaced the DRL with a spare I had and I have the same problem still. The daytime lights are off, the low beams work, and the driver high beam won't work. If it's the wiring harness, I'm thinking of heading to the wreckers and getting one off another cav/sunfire and hopefully that works.

I have a 98 sunfire and the low beams don't work, but I have high beams and running lights. I have changed the fuses and the headlights, but nothing. I heard it could be the switch or a modulator???
