Fuel strainer clogged. Fuel sending unit malfunctioning. Erratic fuel gauge readings. The automobile has stalled 4 times due to a clogged fuel strainer. I stalled on interstate 10 in ms, alone, and was stranded a total of 4 times in the proceeding 3 days. Even though there is an open investigation into this problem, pontiac service center claims they do not fix the problem free of charge.

For my car being a 2000, I have had more than enough problems with this car. For starters, I had a defect in the side window on the drivers back side, I had the line the antifreeze runs through replaced due to a hole being burnt through if from the battery, I had the molding in my passengers side door fixed twice, then I had a problem with my lights inside and outside not coming on, so the switch was replaced, and that wasnt the problem so then it was back a second time, and the computer was replaced, then they had to order me a new cd player because there is a problem with that as well. Then there was shaking in the car as I drove it, they tested it and said there was not a problem, a week later it was back and had coil wires and other things replaced due to the shaking, then the glass in my drivers side mirror needs replaced because now that isnt working. I am really tired of going back and forth to the dealership and I am hoping something will come out of this. I cant believe that buying a new car can have so much aggrivation, to be honest I am afraid to drive it long distances, considering I drive an hour to work every day.
