problem #2

Sunfire Coupe

  • Manual transmission
  • 52,125 miles

Purchased a Used Sunfire in Dec 2007

1.March 2008 -AC blower works only on high. The regulator was blown. Backup lamps won't work. Fog lamps won't work and headlamp only on High. Mechanic saw few corroded wires in front wire harness. Fixed everything for $350.

2. June 2008 - Similar headlamps problem again. This time no lights at all! Mechanic saw a bunch of corroded wires in front wire harness and suggested change in front wire harness which would cost up to $1230!

Totally freaked out right now!

problem #1

Sunfire

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,865 miles

This is the second time I've had the wiring harness go on this car. Once in Sept. 2005, and now 2 and a half years later. Paid $329.76 to have it repaired first time. Why won't GM admit this is a design flaw and do a recall to have the problem fixed???? Dealership better be footing the bill for the new wiring harness.
