Am reporting failed engine on 1994 bonneville for no apparent reason. Have talked to other people who have had rods go out on their engines also and thought maybe someone ought to look into manufacturers liability for producing inferior motor and selling to consumers. Had car in shop 3 or 4 times for a clicking sound and they found nothing up until this last time. Please help on this matter if you can. Don't know who else to contact.

Engine fails without warning, car stalls while sitting warming up or traveling with no warning. When engine stalls, can occasionally be restarted. Have had a computer chip and feul pump replaced and problem still exists. Water pump is now getting very noisy and also will need to be replaced now. While under warranty, we expressed concern over the temperature seemed to be rising and the car not operating smoothly. Reassured there was no problems to be found.

The push rod failed with no other engine warnings while driving at approx. 65mph. Other problems with this vehicle is that I've put 5 alternators in it, the 5th coming at 79,000 miles. That's not normal; all pontiac says is tough! Any problems with the engine that they're not telling me? (dot number: n/a tiresize: n/a)
