2002 Pontiac Sunfire Engine problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 pontiac sunfire. While driving approximately 65 mph, the engine stalled and the track off warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts and was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

This car was bought brand new. Since it's purchase we have had many issues. We had to replace the transmission at less than 20,000 (it was still under warranty though). My power windows have all stopped working and have been replaced (i've had to buy 7 different ones), my cigarette lighter fuse has been replaced twice, I have also had the problems with my headlights and they have had shorts and the wiring has needed replaced on both sides, and last finally my switch on my driver door that turns the dome light on and the radio off has needed changed 3 times now! We have had many problems with this car and I would never recommend this car to anyone!! *Tr

I purchased a 2002 pontiac sunfire brand new in 2001 thinking I could save money on gas..At around 20,000 miles the timing chain broke and messed up the whole engine. The engine is a no tolerance engine and when one thing breaks it messes up everything. Service fixed the timing chain because it was still under warranty. I returned regularly to the dealership stating I could hear a noise, and being a woman was not taken seriously. I even sent the vehicle home with the service rep for the week-end and was told he...

I have numerous problems with the cooling system with this 2002 grand am. First thermostat went. Had thermostat replaced -- car continued to run hot , losing power and shut off.... Have replaced water pump, hoses, and intake valve and problem still existed with car losing pressure and running hot. Also had head gaskets replaced because of this problem.... This car has stopped on me 4 times on the highway.... In checking out other complaints there seems to be problem with the cooling system.... What can I do to have this car repaired -- can a recall be issued.... Professionals are at a loss as to what the problem is???? *Tr

While driving the engine stopped running. The timing chain and gear(s) broke as well as valve train damage. The car only has 41,000 miles but is out of warranty. Gm takes no responsibility.

Dt*: the contact stated while the vehicle is driven at any speed, there is a fluttering noise from the front end. The noise ceases when the vehicle is stopped. The dealership has rotated the tires, aligned the front end, changed the oil, flushed the engine, and repaired the rear rotors in an attempt to stop the noise. However, the noise has gotten worse. These repairs have not fixed the problem.

Air conditioner loud noise while on, abs rattling when stopping in non wet weather. Popping while turning right. Headlamps don't always turn on when switch is engaged. Engine noise as if something is wrong with lifters.*Jb

My 2002 pontiac sunfire stalls at random times, whether in motion or at a complete stop, when ever the clutch is put in. Issue began in the standard warranty with only 33,817 miles, but after multiple testdrives and just normal driving, this issue has carried over onto the extended warranty. The initial day I took my car in for this issue was 10/8/2004, last time it was in for this same issue was 3/4/2005 and still not resolved. The service advisors flat out say, "honestly, we have no idea what is causing this...

I purchased a brand new pontiac sunfire back in 2002. I started having several problems shortly after. My main concern was a foul odor in the vehicle.The odor was so strong it made me sick. I had to ride with the windows down.Which this wasn't noticed until the summer months when the tempatures heat up. It was taken to the dealer to be checked out. On the second attempt they dicovered a leak underneath the car. I was told there was a crack at the seem and they would repair the crack and then replace carpet....

Vehicle has cut-off or couldn't be started 7 times. Also, the vehicle was towed 4 times due to its stalling problems. *La pontiac had been given 4-5 chances to fix the problem since may 2003. The mechanics could not duplicate the problem. The power train module failed intermittently and the pcm assembly was replaced, the cd player did not function properly, and the engine would crank, but not start. The mechanic(s) found the fuel pump shorted. *Sc *jb

While driving, the vehicle shut off without warning. *Jb
