Moral of the story, you're not meant to go that fast in a Sunfire.
When engine is turned on, idles around 1000 rpms. Speedometer doesnt move when going forward, when trying to accelerate rpms will jump between 3000 to 5000 and car will not accelerate at the proper speed. Car was fine earlier in day, parked for 6 hours, then problems began. :confuse:
things that have gone wrong with my car..
1. replaced the CD player
2. back speakers rattle
3. have changed the signal arm 4 times because only the daytime running lights would work.
4. rear defrost wont work
5 have replaced the back tail lights every 2 months burns out and signs of melted light bulbs found.
5. parked car outside grocery store wouldn't start again.. towed it to the shop mechanic put keys in and viola it started for him.. so we replaced the battery.
6. middle of the dashboard light gone out.
7. clock light burnt out x2
8. now my lights come on for about 2 mins when cold and flick off then I have to turn my high beams on and they will stay on but if I hit any kind of bump the flick off again..
I am so tired of this stupid car!!!!
Good,bad or indifferent.
Three years later my car looked so bad that most cars made in the 1980's had better paint jobs than my car. The "sun bleaching" had spread like a disease to cover the entire roof, about 50% of the trunk, and about 50% of the hood, and around all the edges. I took may car back to the dealership and was given a phone number to call for GM. After about 15 phone conversations and numerous more voice mails left with my "district specialist" and 3 case re-openings GM finally told me that they would cover 10% of the paint job, at a shop of their choosing. The estimate for the paint came in around $2,000.
The worst decision I have ever made was in purchasing this vehicle. I am not upset that the car had problems. I know all cars do. What I am upset about is that my car is very clearly defective and GM will do nothing to honor their poor workmanship and make it right. Has anyone had the same issues with the paint? I am to a point of trying a different tactic with GM.
Thanks for looking into this.
