I have a 2002 Sunfire that I purchased on February 28, 2002, and it has already been in to be worked on several times. Both window motors have been replaced, the rotors have been replaced, the passenger seat had to be replaced due to a broken support in the back, the passenger side door lock had to be replaced, the cigarette lighter fuse had to be replaced, and the trunk latch had to be replaced because the trunk would not shut. Runs good but has had so many problems that I would definitely hesitate before buying another Pontiac.

When brake pedal was depressed brakes made a loud noise, and excessive force had to be applied to stop vehicle. This was caused by the rotors continuously cracking. Dealership resurfaced and replaced the rotors. Also when slowing down or at a complete stop, vehicle would stall without warning. Dealership reprogrammed the computer chip. In addition, power windows malfunctioned. They would engage by themselves and slide up/down, and stick in either position. Dealership replaced the motor, but the problem still exists.
