No incidents but there is damage done to the fuel, emission and brake line the fuel and emission lines from the fuel tank use a plastic quick connect coupling just underneath near the rear passenger side tire. The coupling becomes lose and sprays the fuel lines and brake hoses with fuel this washes off the protective layer of the hoses which then corrode and leak fuel and brake fluid, this happened on my 1996 Bonneville can anyone email me if there are any recalls on this car for that reason or if I am entitled to repairs by the manufacturer.

When I purchased my 1996 Pontiac Bonneville sse used I searched for any recalls on it I found 2 one for the intake breaking and one for the anti theft system I took it to local dealer they said it was not applicable to my vehicle now I have had issues with backfiring constantly and have even called Pontiac help line where I was informed that my VIN number was not valid and there were no recalls on my vehicle fast forward a few months and my wife this morning went to the store where the car backfired and the intake exploded into several pieces and large amounts of smoke issued from under the hood now this will undoubtedly cost me a small fortune to repair what am I to do now?

Around Jan 2008 while driving a plastic water hose burst. I replaced it and had no other problem until around Aug 2008. This time the water pump started leaking. I replaced that and the thermostat and radiator cap, but I still kept loosing coolant. Then I found a crack in the radiator which I replace around the end of Aug 2008. I still kept having to top off the coolant reservoir ever two days. About June 2008 I started having trouble with the veh starting, it would seem like it wasn't getting enough gas or flooding. It would be running but barley and it would not accelerate when you press the gas pedal. Finally it would start. It doesn't do it all the time but it's doing it more often now. I've fuel system and injection cleaners with no change. Then I went to NHTSA and found a recall 96V-116 that seems to be the cause of my problem. I went to the local Pontiac dealers and they said that my VIN was not part of the recall and that there was nothing they do. I told them that I would bring back to get a diagnostic test.
