I love my GTO, but I have many problems that the dealer can not duplicate. Here goes...my trunk will not open when I hit the button, I have to be standing at the trunk and pull up as I hit the button...my electrical system is horrible, my radio will all of a sudden blast music and then go back down to a normal volume, my trunk light works when it wants to, along with my back driver side tail lights. My cars fan would run after I turn off the car long enough to run the battery down, but the dealership said this was "normal". the leather has been replaced once, and now that the year warranty has expired its coming apart again...this will be the last GM I buy, and I have owned 3 Pontiac, 1 Saturn, 1 Chevy truck since 97 (all new except my GTO) I can not believe how I can not get any help on my car. The dealership loves to eat me up with fees for looking at the car, and can never duplicate the problem.

The contact owns a 2004 Pontiac GTO. The contact stated that the vehicle was manufactured in australia, and that they should never have been allowed to ship the 2004 defective models to the united stated. He is experiencing suspension failure, in which the vehicle does not drive in a straight line. The vehicle veers from left to right. The contact must use both hands to drive the vehicle. He stated that the suspension and motor were changed. The motor was changed because it was very difficult to shift and it would slip and make noise. There was also transmission failure with the vehicle. While driving over a minor bump at any speed, the vehicle would break down. He also stated that the vehicle had piston slap. When the vehicle was idling, he could hear a ticking noise. The noise was caused by the piston striking the top of the motor head. When the vehicle was taken to the dealer with these concerns, the contact was informed that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The mileage when the vehicle was traded in was 3,600.

Erratic gauge readings. No RPM when started, no speedometer when moving, gas gauge shows opposite of what it really is. Ie full tank shows empty, check engine light comes on, temperature; but no codes present. Coolant gauge reads hot when car is just started....cold.
