What owners wrote

I complained numerous times before about pontiac, and the theft deterrent system going out five times standing my wife, children, gradndchildren and myself. This time we all were on vbacation and the motor blew up. Pontiac refused to pay the re[lacement cost of $5,500.00. The stupid car should have bee recalled and you did nothing.

When a turn was made, the steering wheel produced a loud rubbing noise. Dealer notified. There were high idle problems. The interior lights and the power locks were replaced. The check engine light had come on and the vehicle had started to run rough, the alternator light had come on and the alternator was replaced.
