2000 Pontiac Sunfire review from North America
"The body looks great and that is it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car it ran good for about 2 months than the darn thing kept stalling in the middle of traffic and on the highway! it also kept over heating. I took it to the shop and they said my catalistic converter went, my fuel pump and my sensor. Now my car only starts once in a while! it will turn over and that's it. when it does start, my engine light is on and the other lights keep flashing. My fan in the motor is also not working. When I put a new fuse in it just blows. it also is has a burning plastic smell. My speedometer was blinking on and off. Now it is staying off. My sunfire is always overheating. I can't get a break!My seats are also starting to wear out and the springs are poking out of the back. The plastic covers on everything are coming off. My trunk latch broke. The lights for the sunfire sign in the back burnt out and I can't find the problem. My spark control mogulator is pooched. There are also other problems too numerous to mention. It is a nice looking car and it is good on gas, but with all the problems I am having with it I can barely afford to keep up the payments. I would not reccomend anyone to get a sunfire after all the problems I encountered.
