General Comments:
Well where do I begin. The first day that I drove the car home, it over heated. That was around 30 miles or so. I took it to the dealer and nothing showed up on the diagnostic scan.
The next thing was the battery died. Took it in, they charged it and gave it back to me. Then it over heated again 2x before I BLEW up my motor.
Now remember this is a stock car with less than 4000 miles. I had nothing put on this car, not even a tint. I never even got to enjoy this vehicle.
They put in a brand new motor, which took a couple of weeks, and they gave it back to me and I drove it around for about a 1000 miles, and guess what it, over heated again 2x.
Now I have an attorney and he has requested full refund, and they should be lucky that I haven't charged them for my inconvenience.
I would never buy another PONTIAC, no matter what. Good luck if you're looking for a GTO. Don't waste your time.

Have you been able to find out anything about the spontaneous horn issue? I have an 06 which I really enjoy, but it has a quirk that every once in a blue moon the horn will randomly beep briefly. I took it to the shop, but they didn't find anything, which doesn't surprise me as I cannot reproduce it and it happens only like 1x/month. This is the first I've seen mention of someone else experiencing this issue.
