Faults:

The only major things that have went wrong with my car that I had to replace were the alternator, a battery, 3 tires, rotors and brake pads, and new light bulbs.

General Comments:

This is probably the best car I have ever owned. It's very reliable, it's super cheap to fix, and most of the fixing you can do by yourself.

I have put probably 45000+ miles on it since I bought it two years for 500 dollars, and haven't even put that much money into it yet. 2 batteries, a couple of tires (all 3 I blew out myself) an alternator, and new rotors and pads on both sides.

If I had the chance to buy another one, I most likely would.. and if you come across one for cheap, if it is in good condition, BUY IT! If you give it some TLC it will definitely give it back.

Faults:

Both window motors have been replaced along with the drivers side guide bar which broke from it's welding. Radiator replaced old leaked like a SIEVE. Automatic door lock driver side does not work. Front seat adjustment broke now locked in upright position. Screw fell out of steering wheel now locked non adjustable. A/C failed and has to converted to environmentally favored system. ABS light flashes from time to time ,no problem ,probably the bags won't deploy. Alarm system on car went crazy and burnt out two sensors on engine ($$) Oil pressure valve on car had to be replaced. Other than these problems I have been advise that if the water pump goes get ride of car (junk - cost prohibited to replace -pull engine)

I had to replace the head and gasket.

I had to replace the valve cover gaskets.

I had to replace the thermostat, radiator, upper radiator hose, temp sensor, and cooling fan.

I had to rip the carpet out, due to a leak in the dashboard. Everytime it would rain, the carpet would get wet, thus mold grew.

Replaced the muffler.

My mirror got vandalized and cracked, and I had to pay 50 dollars to buy a new mirror, and cracked the new one installing it.

The catalytic converter is going bad.

The alignment cannot be fixed, because the parts are too rusty.

Had to replace the passenger side ball joint.

The passenger side cv shaft is on its way to death.

The brakes lock up for no reason at any speed. On dry pavement going 75 they locked up on me once.

General Comments:

This car is a total nightmare to own and to drive. Do not buy this for your first car, or you will for sure get in an accident. This car has the worst cooling system ever invented. And has brought me to the decision that I will never buy another pontiac as long as I live.
