1996 Pontiac Sunfire lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Water pump leaking half gallon or more of fluid everyday, causing low coolant light to come on. Local dealer wanted 7 hours and $600.00 dollars or more to fix. Catalytic converter failed at accordian-like shock absorber at high speed. Was upset to learn that replacement part was dealer-only item and cost $420.00 dollars plus $40.00 dollar core charge. Wheel studs (three)on passenger side front wheel failed during highway trip in june of 1999. Two more failed during august of 2000. Have been told, could be overtightening issue, but have not had problem with remaining studs on other wheels. This could be very serious safety concern. Interior dome light has intermittent malfunction which causes light to remain lit indefinitely. Has happened several times. Had to turn light off by pulling dome light fuse or disconnecting battery each time.
Harness overheats/melts and shorts out switch, making headlights inoperable. This is my second repair in a year.
Interior dome light wiring malfunctioned, causing a fire. Please provide further information and VIN#
While driving at night, changing high beams to low beams, the switch broke. Also the door latches broke. Problem has been corrected.
While driving vehicle during the day, daytime runing lights would flicker on & off. It does not happen all the time. Had taken to dealer & mechanic had to replace the relay switch & I p cluster.
Manufacturer headlight system malfunction.
