problem #4

Bonneville 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

We own a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville. It has had to have a new fan motor, new manifold. And in Dec 2003 we had to replace the rack and pinion, in Dec 2004 we had to replace the rack and pinion. And now it is making the same noise again. In reading on the internet I see that there are many complaints with Pontiac over the rack and pinion issue. They need to make changes to correct this problem.
