“I just currently bought this vehicle in march when I got no lights or anything was on a couple days later my engine light came on and the brake lights came on saying that my track is off also when I try to go over 50 miles per hour the car shakes really bad I took it back to the dealership and they told me they did not have a mechanic to look at it and it happen to me 3 times when I took it there.”
NHTSA complaint #10747803, filed 2015-08, 100 miles“If this is not where I need to send a complaint, please forward this message to the correct persons. I own a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville with only 52,000 miles. I bought this car in may 2004. In june 2004 the power window went out. I was informed that they could not just replace the arm but also the window motor with a cost $300. Then, only 3 months later the check engine light came on and I found out that the ignition module went out which made the ignition coil go out, which made the ignition cables go bad! That was an additional $650! …”
NHTSA complaint #10091326, filed 2004-09, 54,000 miles“My major complaint now is I have a 2001 Bonneville with a little over 24,000 miles on it. The hood is rusting from the inside out and has blistered up the original factory paint on the leading edge. The dealer is talking about repair with no guarantees. Since the problem is obviously an inherent defect with either the steel or the preparation I fear it will continue to happen. My feeling is I should receive, at a minimum, a lifetime guarantee/warranty and preferably a new hood.”
NHTSA complaint #10069600, filed 2004-01“The air conditioner is inoperable, the passengers side vent is blowing cool air, and the drivers side is blowing warm air, consumer was informed that the evaporator was replaced, and the air filler and orifice tube, however that did not resolve the problem, consumer was also having problems taking the air condition out of auto mode, and what was being told to consumer from dealer was that everything was checked including the freon.”
