Sunfire SLX 2.2L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,496 miles

Thank goodness the Sunfire has been axed along with the whole division. Like every other GM, it was only ever designed to last 3 years or 60,000km. After that, everything starts to break down! The blower fan doesn't work at lowest speed, heat only works for 3 min. and then becomes cool (important when it's -25C out), the weatherstripping has fallen off on the driver's side pillar, there is a rattle in the rear wheel/axle, the windshield fluid reservoir is leaking and cannot hold a drop of washer fluid, the starter died, the brake light electrical system went haywire. And the worst - while driving down a steep hill in Winter, the ABS system shuts down after 5 mins. of continuous braking! Too bad the goverment didn't let GM die off like it should have.
