Sunfire 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

I had the fuel pump replaced on this vehicle in December 2006. I have been given information indicating this pump is in the suspect group of pumps covered by the delphi recall number 07E-015. I contacted the number listed, and was told that since someone else had entered information on the VIN that they will not tell me anything. They refused to tell me how to have the inspection or reimbursement done. This vehicle was wrecked by my daughter in March 2006, and there is an ongoing investigation of the ABS system also.

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.
