 The first sign of trouble was with the temperature gauge, then the tachometer. most recently the voltmeter and speedometer have started to fail.

 Have a 2004 bonneville gxp around the 24,000 mile mark the car seemed to fall apart. the passenger window sticks, the trunk stays full of water, the passenger side floor pan fills up with water once every 4 months, the coolant temperature gauge stopped working, the tachometer stopped working, the speedometer stopped working, and most concerning the steering joint in the steering column is bad. we contacted the local dealer at the time and they said there were no recalls. i do not feel safe driving my three children around in this car. a forty thousand dollar car should not have these many problems with so little mileage. i just find it hard to believe they have not recalled this vehicle. i am disgusted with general motors. *tr
