Tl* the contact owns a 1996 pontiac bonneville.

All windows except drivers stopped working, all door locks except drivers stopped working. Car was stored for part of winter. I put in a new battery and now I have no climate control. Drivers side is hot, pass is cold. Pass heated seat does not work at all. Sun roof just broke! Steering is making lots of noise, transmission seems to be slipping. Wtf why no recall. How can you purchase a car for 35,000 & it is ?!@#$% before it hits 100,000? My ford has 196,000 no problem, my honda has 235,000 barely a problem. I have owned 4 pontiacs and now im paying thousands to fix the piece of ?!@#$%! Why in the ?!@#$% do my windows not work!! All of them in one day? No door locks, at all? Same day! Now with a new battery, I have 90 deg air on the drivers side & 60 deg air on the passenger side. You try to drive this piece of ?!@#$%!! Now my back passenger side window just fell down!! I have to use a magic marker to pry & hold it up!! We need a major recall on these faulty vehicles. Im a pontiac fan, but ill never buy another one if you cant try and fix this ?!@#$%. My car looks like new but works like it was built by a bunch of idiots!! I am embarrassed to drive this car. It looks better than most 525 b-mirs but I have to tell all my friends that I have no door locks, no air, no windows or anything. Nothing like sitting inside a 135 degree leather bound flagship sweating your ?!@#$% off!! By the time I get to work im a big ball of sweat!! Please stand behind your product. Im seriously looking to spend some of my money to promote a campaign to do nothing but talk ?!@#$%about your products.

I bought my car as a used vehicle and have had trouble since I bought it. I have had trouble with the motor, the air conditioner does not work, the cruise control does not work. When it was engaged it would jerk hard ( speed up then slow down) I have no dash lights when I turn on my headlights. My radio lights do not work either when I turn on my headlights. It is dangerous to drive. I need to know what to do to fix this problem. There is also a problem with the passenger door lock. You can not unlock it with the power locks.

Console door latch failed approximately one year later (same failure). Removed door spring so door now stays closed. Drivers side door lock jams when using key fob, have to use passenger side door. No longer use key fob, door unlocks properly when using the key. Within the past year the paint has began to peel on the top of the rear quarter panels and roof. I had a flat tire and went to retrieve the jack, which is located in the passenger side of the trunk. The jack is stored in a plastic case that is bolted to a bracket. Only one weld was made during manufacture allowing the bracket to break loose. The jack case now just lies in trunk.
