Pontiac Sunfire Visibility Defroster/defogger System Windshield Blower Safety Report | Aug 01, 2004
Reported on Aug 01, 2004
| CHECKED OUT THIS SITE BEFORE I DECIDED TO POST THIS AND SAW SOMEONE ELSE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT, AND FRANKLY, I REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD FIND MORE PEOPLE WITH THE COMPLAINT. I BOUGHT THE 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE WITH 22000 MILES ON IT. UPON PURCHASE I NOTICED THAT OUT OF THE 5 SETTINGS FOR THE BLOWERS THE FIRST ONE DIDN'T WORK. HONESTLY, I DIDN'T CARE THAT MUCH AT THAT POINT- ALL THE OTHERS WORKED, SO NO BIGGIE. THROUGH OUT THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, SLOWLY ONE BY ONE ALL THE OTHERS STOPPED WORKING TOO, EXCEPT THE HIGHEST BLOWER. BASICALLY, I WAS EITHER ON HIGH OR NOT ONE AT ALL. STILL, AT THIS POINT, I COULD NOT COMPLAIN THAT MUCH. BUT WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO BOTH MY MOTHER AND A FRIEND THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MOM'S CAR, A GRAND AM, WAS DOWN TO 3 SETTINGS, AND MY FRIENDS VEHICLE, A PONTIAC, WAS ON THE LAST SETTING TOO. WHEN THIS WINTER BEGAN I FIGURED I SHOULD BREAK DOWN AND GET IT LOOKED AT. THE NICE MAN AT THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME IT WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD CHUNK OF CHANGE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THOUGH HE OPTED AGAINST TELLING ME WHAT EXACALLY THE PROBLEM IS, AND I NEGLECTED TO ASK. BUT AFTER HEARING OTHER COMPLAINS I STARTED TO WONDER IF IT WAS A PONTIAC THING. AND THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED A 'SAFTY' ISSUE, IF NOT FIXED IT PROBABLY COULD BECOME ONE. *AK | |
