I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A PATTERN OF SMALL (BUT ANNOYING) COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2000 PONTIAC SUNFIRE I RECENTLY OWNED. I STATE "RECENTLY OWNED" BECAUSE I GRATEFULLY TRADED IT IN LAST WEEK WITH JUST 56,234 MILES ON IT ON A NEW 2006 SUBARU IMPREZA. I BOUGHT THE PONTIAC NEW IN 2000 AND CARED FOR IT UP UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN PROBLEMS BEGAN CROPPING UP ON IT LIKE SNOWFLAKES IN A BLIZZARD. MY SUNFIRE RAN WELL UNTIL ABOUT SIX MONTH AGO WHEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE A BURNING OIL SMELL FROM ITS VENTS. IT TURNED OUT THAT IT NEEDED A NEW VALVE COVER GASKET THAT WAS CAUSING A MINOR OIL LEAK. ITS EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS ALSO BEGINNING TO RUST OUT. HOWEVER, RECENTLY, A FEW LIGHTS ON THE DASH CLUSTER THAT ILLUMINATED THE CAR'S TACHOMETER AND SHIFTER CONSOLE WENT OUT-NO REASON GIVEN-GARAGE SAID IT WOULD BE A DIFFICULT REPAIR. THEN, ABOUT TWO WEEKS...
I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR BRAKE REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 3 1/2 YRS. AT LEAST 5-7 TIMES. MY CAR IS NOW EXPERIENCING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH A PLUG UNDER THE HARNESS AND WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND WIRING. MY CAR WILL NOT START FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN IT WILL START, ONLY TO BREAKDOWN AGAIN WHEN IT HEATS UP. IT HAS ALSO CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY.IT HAS BEEN TOWED 3 TIMES IN THREE WEEKS FOR REPAIR DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS. I'VE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. THE PLUG UNDER THE HARNESS WAS MELTING THROUGH MY BACK FLOORBOARD, MELTING MY CARPET WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH ON FIRE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MEN THAT I'M EXPERIENCING COMPUTER AND WIRING PROBLEMS. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY REGARDING...
