Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When driving gas gauge failed to register correct fuel. This even happened after filling fuel tank.
Intake manifold gasket failure, causing coolant leakage. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed that vehicle was out of warranty, and not covered under recall.
Headlight dimmer switch assembly has failed while driving, causing poor visibility. Also in 6-24-98 , #6 fuel injector had to be replaced at only 15118 miles.
My car has been to the dealer four diffefent times for fuel parts related failures. Jan. 15, 1999, the fuel tank sensor level was replaced. Nov. 3, 1999, the original fuel tank pump/kit was replaced. Manufacturer was notified and paid for parts but not the labor. June 1, 2000, my car was again towed in and the fuel tank pump/assembly kit was replaced. Aug. 15, 2000, my car was again towed and the fuel tank pump/sender kit was replaced. I picked my car on august 18, 2000 from the repair dealer at approx. 5 p.m., and an hour and a half later, my car had stopped running. I had it towed back to the dealer, but they were closed. I spoke with the customer service asst. Center, using the 1-800 number, and they were not very friendly nor did they want to give me any direction. It is suspected that my fuel tank pump has gone out again. Will have to wait until mon. Aug. 21, to talk to someone at the pontiac dealership. Even though I purchased my car from the chrsyler dealership, all of my original warranty was on my vehicle. Plus each time I've had car in shop for these problems, they too, have been under warranty. I am looking into filing a law suit and have requested from the manufacturer that they replace my vehicle.
When fuel level reaches 1/4 tank full, fuel gauge will reset to indicate full tank.
Engine died without warning while driving. Loss of power steering/brakes. Would start but would not stay running. Dealer knew exactly what was wrong. Fuel pump resistor.
Main fuel line clip failed, causing a fuel leak in the engine compartment which resultedin a fire. Please provide further information and VIN#.
