the check engine light came on. So i took it back they did something to make the light come off. Than not even 2 months later i had to get front brakes. Now after having thecar less than 6 months I have this rumbling in the front under the dash board, its is very loud i took it to a shop they said its the baljoints. Oh my gosh this car is a piece of crap, and now the brake light just came on today. I am getting rid of this car in Jan 2009. I really want a Dodge Stratus but I am going to get a car fax on it before i buy it and have a high price shop look at as well. i've learned my lesson with this car. I am going to make sure I buy it straight out no car payments for me.
I haven't taken this back to get fixed b/c it sounds costly. Anyone have an idea of how much it would cost?
I just noticed the second problem this morning involving the daylight running lamps. This morning, the icon came on and then flashed a few times (and made a sound, like when you're turn signal is being used) and then went away and the "service" icon came on my dashboard.
I looked in my driver's manual and it says, "a flashing DRL light indicates a possible burned-out headlamp, or that the vehicle may need service to repair a stuck DRL relay."
Does anyone know how to know which one it is? And if it's a stuck DRL relay, how much would that be?
Its an 04 with only 54 thousand miles on it. I technically shouldn't have had to replace the sparkplugs yet.
Anyone else having this problem?
Now let me start with under the hood.
My interior lights, and my radio, both are really strange. When I tighen my battery or charge it for even a moment, they both turn on and work. My radio will have to be manually turned on and off. After about a week, my interior light no longer will work, and my radio needs to be manually turned on still, but is totally reset (presets, clock, ect) and now turns off with the car.
The car has stalling/starting issues. Durning the heat in the summer it would start, but I could only run it for maybe 20 mins. I couldn't let it idle, or keep turning it on and off w.o. it totally giving out on me. It would like take a min to catch to accelerate, even when im gassing it 100%, or if I was driving under about 30. Now its winter and really cold, the car has issues with wanting to start again. It doesn't drive worse or stall but it doesn't want to start. (Starter repaired three times. So far its been running agian for a week. The last two times it was within days of eachother)
My muffler, converter, and alternatior were just recently replaced. Along w. spark plugs. A few other things were replaced trying to fix the stalling problem this summer, but I'm not exactly sure what ones they were.
This week driving it was fine. Until I was reaching the stop sign and my break basically fell to the floor. Now it sounds like its pumping air, nearly will NOT work, and doesn't give any sort of stop untill it reaches the ground. My roommate found out im out of break fluid so put some in and is bleeding my lines tonight so find out if that is working.
>I just dont understand how even if i was running low on the fluid, why my breaks would work just totally fine up until one moment and then totally give out?
uggh. I don't know. 19 year old girl, part time and full time jobs, supporting myself, I can't deal w. all this bs anymore with this damn car. 7 months now and I can't go two weeks w. actually having a car to drive.
Thanks
hoping its just the battery. . .

If its a new battery you have a problem. I have a 2002 and had to replace the battery 6 months ago as well.
Does anyone have matches? Let's all just meet at the Pontiac plant and torch the mother f-ers :mad:
Thanks

I am also looking for a blue bulb for the dome light. I know the replacement bulb is a Sylvania 906, but can't find any cross referencing to find the correct blue bulb.
When you take the key out it makes a clicking noise through the dash.
Any suggestions, my dad will try. I have no job or money. Trying to get by. Sometimes the car would not start in the past. Also there is a constant buzz over my radio so I turn it up to drown it out, maybe it's related or not?
Please HELP!
A few months ago, my 2004 Sunfire started acting up. I'd turn it off, open the door and the radio would stay on. When I wiggled the little toggle on the door frame, it would shut off. Not any more. Nor is there a warning chime if I leave the key in the ignition and open the driver's door and I found out the hard way today that there's no chime when I leave the headlights on. I've sprayed the toggle with WD-40 and Jig-a-loo...no change.
Any suggestions? I could do without another dead battery!
TIA,

Anyone know what the problem might be? (reading around on this forum i'm wondering about fuses(?) bad wiring in sunfires(?) Where are the fuses in a 2005 Sunfire?...... that would be something I could check myself but as far as wiring.....
Thank you in advance. I will appreciate any help!!!!
Started out that when I hit the brakes pedal, all the warning lights on the dash would come on until the brake pedal was released. Get home, shut the car off, and chocked it up to cluster problems that a lot of people experience with these cars. Next morning I come out to start the car and the anti-theft is blinking and car won't start. Call the dealership and they say its the bcm. I'm thinking..probably not since the brake pedal thing the night before..I get a ride to work from a friend since it won't start..Now, I go out this morning, reach up behind the dash and start feeling around the brake pedal..moved some wires around..and it starts..
I'm thinking there is a short in the cluster/steering column harness that caused the antitheft to trigger. Anybody else ever see this?
sounds though like you are starting to experience guage cluster problems like a lot of us are..
If anyone knows what to do, please let me know.

not sure if this is related but the drivers side park light wont work and the bulb is good.....signal light works, just no park light
any ideas?
I've been all over the Internet searching for a problem with a 2005 Sunfire and you and I are (or were) in the same boat. The car does exactly what you describe where the temp gauge (now now the speedo) doesn't reset when the car is turned off.
How did you resolve it? Did you replace the cluster? Did the mileage read from the computer or did it read what the new cluster said? If you needed to get it programmed, how did you go about doing that?
Thanks for responding
Electric issues include: Every dash light coming on and staying on when driving. Very dim driver side headlight. Radio removed by dealer to help with elcetric issues. Ignition switch replaced about two weeks ago.
This is the first time the engine has given me trouble. Any help would be very much appreciated
