Pontiac Sunfire Electrical System Safety Report | Feb 18, 2008
Reported on Feb 18, 2008
| SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT STEADY DURING ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION THEN IT JUST STOPPED AT 55 TO 60 MPH. NEXT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL UNTIL THE CAR GOT WARM AND ALL OF MY OTHER GAUGES STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. MY FUEL GAUGE AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND AND JUST STOPPED AND MY RPM DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAID THAT IT JUST NEEDS TO BE RESET AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, AFTER I GOT THAT FIXED I TOOK IT HOME AND 2 DAYS LATER IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT IT MIGHT BE A GAUGE CLUSTER THEY WERE NOT SURE AND THAT IT WOULD BE $500. I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AT THE TIME SO I DECIDED NOT TO GET IT FIXED SINCE THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE ME THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. MY SPEEDOMETER DOES WORK AS LONG AS IT IS WARM OUTSIDE. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL OR YEAR THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NOW A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM FOR THE ISSUE. *TR | |
