1999 Pontiac Sunfire SE Coupe review from North America
"She is a cute, but costly car to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I don't recall all the mileage to every repair, But here is a list:
The same #2 plug, uncountable times.
2 batteries.
1 alternator.
4 sets of head light (bulbs)
2 headlight switches (on the steering column)
1 v-belt.
2 seals (right under the top half of the engine, head gasket?)
At least 25 pairs of front brake pads, unknown, still unsolved braking issue.
1 (soon to be 2) sensor on the rear brakes.
General comments?
With every turn she keeps costing me money!!
I think she was/is a lemon!
