Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2001 boneville sle. I have had problems with the right tire end rod being replaced at 20,000 miles. I'm having the same problem with the left tire end rod the car has 41,000 miles. Also the sealed wheel bearing needs to be replaced at 41,000 miles. The car is 5,000 miles over the manufacture's warranty and I have to pay for this. I was told by the service manager that Pontiac will reimburse 75% of the cost. The car is only two years old. It should not have these problems!”
