| Brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced after 20,000 miles. have had to replace 5 yr batteries 3 times now at my own expense. last time resulted in car needing to be towed and key not being able to be taken out of ignition. tried jump starting and electrical system over heated. my complaint is this i just received a safety recall stating that if the car is hard to start it could start on fire if jump started more then 3 times and if the key is on the on potion to long. they want to install a relay device to prevent fires but why is the electrical ignition problem not being fixed. why do we have to replace the battery every year. the relay device will not fix the original problem it will only fix the fire threat. also side mirror adjustment knob has fallen inside car door and windows will not roll down or up. car will not shift into reverse at times. front tires wore on the inside out and had to be replaced shortly after purchase. *jb | |||

| I have had a new transmission, calipers, gear shift mechanism,2 lighters, alternator,2 sets of window motors, 1 broken motor mount,strut torque wasnt bolted to the car when leased, a radial pull in 1 tire in which i had to pay to have replaced, tire scraping on fender right after leasing, 2 new headlamps,fuel cap, battery, and have had a short somewhere and dealer refused to locate. dealer and pontiac customer division refuse a buy back or trade in. sent package to general motors to make them aware of the situation and they refused the package all together. pontiac tells me their field rep went to talk to john moore and he refused a buy back so in turn, so did pontiac. i just would like a car that runs. this is my second pontiac that has been a lemon. i have all documentaion to prove it. how does a single mom working two jobs get help? its costed me a fortune in missed work.( dot number: tire size: p195/65r15 ) | |||
