Headlights go out intermittently while driving. This has been repaired numerous times, the problem is a splice in the wiring. The high beams were inoperative and the daytime running lights flashed while driving. The dealer replaced the instrument panel cluster. The vacuum actuator was sticking which caused the heater control not to blow on the setting selected. The mufflers hanger broke and the baffles were loose which caused rattling at idle.

The airbags have failed to deploy on two separate occasions and I have statements proving they should of. The fuel injectors damaged in the accident were fixed by newby auto 2 weeks later they were broken again they refused to redo them saying it wasn't the same one they fixed. They also refused to add an airbag check onto the estimate saying there wasnt enough damage to deploy them I have two other estimates totalling my car they refused to look at them and insisted it was ok and they would fix it unfortually they did not and it has had many problems since. Newby auto a Pontiac dealership was located in richfield Utah at the time they had my car they are no longer in business in richfield.

Fuel pump had to replace after only 56000 miles. Dealer says it will cost $600 or more to fix. After it was fixed it still hesitates when you first accelerate. Loud knocking and vibration noise in exhuast when you accelerate or just idling. I will never buy another Sunfire. I can't wait to get rid of this one.

Noise from the exhaust system continually, replacement of the muffler on two occasions and tail pipe did not remedy noise.
