My major complaint now is I have a 2001 bonneville with a little over 24,000 miles on it. The hood is rusting from the inside out and has blistered up the original factory paint on the leading edge. The dealer is talking about repair with no guarantees. Since the problem is obviously an inherent defect with either the steel or the preparation I fear it will continue to happen. My feeling is I should receive, at a minimum, a lifetime guarantee/warranty and preferably a new hood.

I have a 2001 pontiac bonneville. The air bag warning light displays check air bag. The dealer says it has to be replaced for $650. The same day the left rear window fell down and the cost to repair is over $500. Neither the airbag nor the window have ever been used. The car has never been in an accident or off the road. Two parts failed for no reason.
Alternator failed - could not open doors or roll windows down-trapped in car!
The air conditioner is inoperable, the passengers side vent is blowing cool air, and the drivers side is blowing warm air, consumer was informed that the evaporator was replaced, and the air filler and orifice tube, however that did not resolve the problem, consumer was also having problems taking the air condition out of auto mode, and what was being told to consumer from dealer was that everything was checked including the freon.
Driver's side mirror vibrates so much that consumer can't makeout objects behind vehicle. Vibration comes and goes, and its been doing this since car was purchased. Called dealer, and dealer stated that it was a design chracteristic of car, and there was nothing they could do.
