Consumer Description

2005 PONTIAC SUNFIRE GAS GAUGE & SPEEDOMETER HAS FINALLY STOPPED WORKING, AFTER MANY SPORADIC FAILURES. CAN'T TELL HOW FAST CAR IS GOING - CAN'T JUDGE WHEN CAR MAY RUN OUT OF GAS. DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER MAKES THIS ALL THE MORE DANGEROUS. HAD THIS HAPPEN ON THE 2003 MODEL AND HAD TO REPLACE FULL COMPONENT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DANGEROUS AND ONGOING DEFECT IN SUNFIRES AND PONTIAC NEEDS TO RECALL & CORRECT. TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN MODELS SHOWS A TOTAL LACK OF SAFETY CONCERN ON THE AUTO MAKERS PART. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
