| While on active duty in the army, i purchased a used 2000 pontiac sunfire in georgia. the car began giving me problems only 6 months after the purchase. luckily, i forced the dealership to pay for a warranty because i had to have 3 major repairs within a 11/2 after that. unfortunately, shortly after the warranty was up, i discover numerous other problems with the automobile, including the recall. this car is truly a lemon! i do not believe i should have to suffer with this defective car. i owe over 3 times the value of the car. even though i have all the documentation to support my good care and maintenance, no one will touch this car because it has so many other defects besides the recall (front end suspension issues, fuel tank). i am a disabled veteran now with only a small pension to support myself and two children. this car has been a nightmare since i bought it and fixing the ignition switch is not going to fix this lemon. i have put over $3000 in repairs on this car over the last few years aside from the monthly financed payments of $282 x 3yrs=$10,152 and i still owe $7800. the car is only valued at $2150. and when dealers look at the history of problems behind this car, they don't even want to give me $2000.*ak | |||

| Iin december of 2004 my son was in the backseat putting on his seat belt and an it broke. since then he has been sitting in the middle. about 3 weeks ago the same thing happened to the seat belt. on monday the 21st of march i was putting my other sons car seat in the car and was tightning up the belt and that one broke too. now i have no seat belts that work in my back seat. i cannot beleive that they would break that easily. what if i would have gotten into an accident prior to this i am sure they would have broke. i have the car in for repairs to have the seat belts looked at. i just can not understand how they are made to brake when they are suppose to save your life! | |||
