2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

I PURCHASED A 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE BRAND NEW IN 2001 THINKING I COULD SAVE MONEY ON GAS..AT AROUND 20,000 MILES THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND MESSED UP THE WHOLE ENGINE. THE ENGINE IS A NO TOLERANCE ENGINE AND WHEN ONE THING BREAKS IT MESSES UP EVERYTHING. SERVICE FIXED THE TIMING CHAIN BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I RETURNED REGULARLY TO THE DEALERSHIP STATING I COULD HEAR A NOISE, AND BEING A WOMAN WAS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I EVEN SENT THE VEHICLE HOME WITH THE SERVICE REP FOR THE WEEK-END AND WAS TOLD HE COULDN'T HEAR A THING. AS IT TURNS OUT AT THIS TIME 62,000 MILES THE ENGINE BLEW AT 55 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF A US HWY ON THE WAY HOME FROM PICKING UP MY GRANDSON. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN IT HAS BEEN AT MY HOME AND IS NOW DEAD...NOT RUNNING...BROKEN..GUESS I...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT ANY SPEED, THERE IS A FLUTTERING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE NOISE CEASES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ROTATED THE TIRES, ALIGNED THE FRONT END, CHANGED THE OIL, FLUSHED THE ENGINE, AND REPAIRED THE REAR ROTORS IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE NOISE. HOWEVER, THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THESE REPAIRS HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

MY 2002 PONTIAC SUNFIRE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES, WHETHER IN MOTION OR AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN EVER THE CLUTCH IS PUT IN. ISSUE BEGAN IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY WITH ONLY 33,817 MILES, BUT AFTER MULTIPLE TESTDRIVES AND JUST NORMAL DRIVING, THIS ISSUE HAS CARRIED OVER ONTO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE INITIAL DAY I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE WAS 10/8/2004, LAST TIME IT WAS IN FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WAS 3/4/2005 AND STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE SERVICE ADVISORS FLAT OUT SAY, "HONESTLY, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX IT." SO, I CONTINUE DRIVING THIS CAR THAT DOES AND CAN STALL OUT GOING 60-70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I AM CURRENTLY 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND HAVE STRESSED AND WORRIED ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR MAJORITY OF MY PREGNANCY.*AK

VEHICLE HAS CUT-OFF OR COULDN'T BE STARTED 7 TIMES. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED 4 TIMES DUE TO ITS STALLING PROBLEMS. *LA PONTIAC HAD BEEN GIVEN 4-5 CHANCES TO FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE MAY 2003. THE MECHANICS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE POWER TRAIN MODULE FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE PCM ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, THE CD PLAYER DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT START. THE MECHANIC(S) FOUND THE FUEL PUMP SHORTED. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. *JB
