Faults:

My Bonneville now has 95,000 miles.

The steering shaft has been replaced/lubed every 5,000. GM was paying, but now states not a safety issue, so no longer their problem.

Intake manifold gasket replaced twice.

2 window regulators.

Replaced fuel sensor, oil pressure gauge twice, & several problems with dash lights.

Love the car, but seems GM should stand behind their faulty parts.

I now have to lubricate the steering shaft as often as I rotate the tires, otherwise it clunks.

Faults:

Steering column clunking problem started at 50,000 miles. Fixed by dealer, lube kit, has been OK since then.

Oil pressure sending unit has been replaced 3 times. Pressure was pegged high all 3 times. Dealer fixed once under warranty, I have replaced sender twice myself.

Both outer tie rod ends and right front wheel bearing needed replaced at 60000 miles.

Headlights and taillights recently began staying on all the time. Haven't got that fixed yet.

Fuel gauge is always pegged full.

Supercharger belt tensioner pulley (plastic) destroyed itself and the belt last month. Replacement metal pulley was $21.00, plus a new belt for $26.00.

No window regulator problems or trunk leaks so far.

Faults:

Right rear window motor failed with 25,000 miles.

Left rear window motor failed 3 months later.

Obviously, there is a problem with these motors.

Cost me $500.00 for new regulator on the right rear window. Pontiac won't do anything about reimbursement.

Faults:

Both rear window regulators broke and needed replaced. Found a site on line that sold after market replacements for about $110 each. My Father is a Mechanical Technician, and was able to replace them both for me. (Does my brakes for me too)

Steering column needs lubricated? never saw this on any other car I owned. Had the place that does my oil change order the parts for this, still waiting to hear back from them.

Idler pulley bearing froze up and plastic pulley melted. Went to a local auto parts store and got a replacement metal pulley instead, and new belt for about $60. Father replaced that for me as well (always nice to know someone who can handle tools.)

Sun roof air foil was broken on 1 side, so the "dealership" I bought it from (used) fixed it by removing it. think they damaged the insulation strip because now it leaks. Drove through a car wash, every thing was fine until I hit the air dry system, then it was raining inside the car! Read the one about the guy who fixed it using insulation strips from Home Depot, if you could send me some information about how you did that, I would appreciate it, Thank! send info to :rsward1939@yahoo.com.

General Comments:

Fun car to drive, great power, heads up display, good sound system, luxurious, changed out the chrome 18" rims for 20" black and chrome "Hot wheels" rims, thinking about doing a custom paint job as well. (Dad, can I use part of your garage?)

Faults:

Where to start:

Rear window regulator broke on the passenger side; Cost $350.

Constant and persistent water leaks in trunk and front driver's side; Water runs right into the car every time it rains.

Moon roof broke; leaked; wouldn't seal closed.

A/C won't work.

Front wheel bearing bad at less than 50,000 miles.

Clunking sound every time I turn my steering wheel; I was told it was the steering rack??!! How, why? It has hardly any miles on it for 7 years old.

A shimmy with the front tires; Had new tires; balanced, aligned, etc... numerous times. No one can figure out what it is.

General Comments:

I love the looks of the car; I love the comfort and sporty style... but the car is a total lemon. I am so disappointed.

I've had 2 other bonneville's; no major problems.

The head rests are a joke! If you were to get rear-ended, the head rests are set back too far to work!

The cup holders will not hold two cups at the same time!!!

I hope GM looks at these window regulators; the steering issues and the numerous water leaks that I see everyone else is complaining about too.

Where do we turn to make GM look at this stuff?

It is bad publicity to say "I'll never buy another Pontiac again."
