“I have a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville ssei. I have had this car in and out of the shop numerous times for the check stability system warning and a clunking noise in the left front area. It makes noise primarily in a turn or going over a bump. I have had the front left wheel bearing/assembly replaced as well. The last mechanic was puzzled and frustrated at the fact that he cannot figure our what is making the noise. I believe that this is a defect and GM should issue a recall and fix the problem for the consumer. …”
