2000 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America
"This car will nickle and dime you to death!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car brand new. The engine light has been on and off since I drove it off the lot, and no one can tell me why.
Less than a year after I bought it, I was replacing the ignition sensors.
It's 5 years old and on it's third transmission.
Twice I've had to replace the upper radiator hose because it rubs against the battery casing and ruptures.
The fuel gauge frequently quits working, so the day after you fill your tank it reads empty.
General comments?
I must say, though, it's great in the snow! Never had a problem there.
But I will never buy a Pontiac or any other GM car again. I was 24 when I bought this, my first new car, and they have lost a customer for life.
