  THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NO GO OFF WHEN THE TWILIGHT SENTINEL IS USED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS OFF IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE. THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING WITH MANUFACTER DATES OF 6/94 -7/94. MINE WAS MANUFACTERED IN 11/94 AND I FEEL IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN NO LONGER USE THE TWILIGHT SENTINEL FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, OR WORSE, THE LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FROM THE BEGINNING INCLUDING REPLACING THREE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS, FUEL PUMP, AND TRANSMISSION. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH ME AND THIS CAR HAS JEOPARDIZED THAT SAFETY TOO MANY TIMES. *AK

  TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHEN I USED THE PASSING GEAR. GEARS BEGAN SLIPPING AND I COULD NOT PASS THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO NEXT TOWN ABOUT THREE MILES IN FIRST GEAR AT ABOT 25 MPH.THIS OCCURRED ON A VACATION TRIP TO FLORIDA. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A PONTIAC DEALER IN MANNING SC SANTEE MOTOR CO. INC. 452 N BROOK ST.ZIP 29102 PHONE 800-948-6080. I DOUBT THAT I HAVE USED THE PASSING GEAR MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES DURING THE LIFE OF THE CAR. IT HARD TO BEKEIVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO THAT EASILY AFTER ONLY 62,00 MILES. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE SERVICE ON THE CAR FAITHFULLY HAVING HAD MY MECHANIC GIVE MY CAR A THOROUGH CHECK BEFORE TAKING THIS TRIP EVEN BUYING NEW TIRES ALTHOUGH I STILL HAD FAURLY GOOD TREAD ON THEM. *AK

  THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, CAR TOOK OFF AND BRAKES WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK, THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL CAR WAS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL. THIS LAST TIME I WAS ON A FREEWAY IN SOUTHERN CALIF. AND THE CAR TOOK OFF AGAIN AND I ENDED OFF THE FREEWAY IN A VACANT FIELD TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS AFRAID OF GOING INTO A RESIDENTAL AREA. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS REPORTED AND THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT AT A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP, AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. THE CAR IS THERE NOW AGAIN AND THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING. THE CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS.ODDLY ENOUGH WHEN I CALLED AAA TO TOW ME OUT OF THE FIELD THIS LAST TIME THE DISPATCHER STATED THAT HER MOM'S BUICK DOES THE SAME THING. GM IS MAKING IT SOUND LIKE THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON, YET ON THE INTERNET THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHER CASES. *AK

• 10/31/2003· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  I HAVE A 1995 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE WHICH I PURCHASED USED FROM JIM CULLIGAN GM PONTIAC IN 1996. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE ONLY ONE MONTH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WAS A BULLETIN ON IT. IT IS OBVIOUS THE DEALER KNEW OF THIS WHEN IT WAS SOLD. THIS GASKET ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 39000 AND 43000 MILES AND A HISTORY NOTE OF IT WAS MADE. GM HAS NOW REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS CHRONICALLY DEFECT PROBLEM AT THE 65000 MILE AND 84000 MILE LEVELS. THE CURRENT GASKET NEEDED REPLACING WITH ONLY 22000 MILES ON IT. THIS TYPE OF PART SHOULD NOT GO THIS FREQUENTLY AND PREVENTS A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THE OIL LEAK OUT AND CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. GM IS TRYING TO SAY THAT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS 84000 MILES ON IT THEY WILL NOT PAY. HOWEVER THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AFTER ONLY 22000 MILES ON IT. IT IS CLEAR THAT GM IS ACTING IN BAD FAITH AND MS DESIREE RICHARDSON AT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MOIZ AHMAD THE AREA SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS PROBLEM. MR AHMAD WILL NOT EVEN GIVE ME THE COURTESY OF A CALL TO SHOW HIM THE DOCUMENTATION I HAVE AND EXPLAIN HIS DECISION. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHO HAVE ALL ADVISED ME GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH EVEN MORE DEFECTIVE PARTS. I HAVE ALREADY TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $300 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THIS INTAKE MANIFOLD ONCE AND AM NOW LOOKING AT HAVING TO DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON MY FAMILY AND VERY UNETHICAL ON GM'S PART TO NOT OWN UP TO THIS WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND BE RESPONSIBLE. YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.J.PIERINO. *LA

  TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. RANDOMLY OCCURS AFTER TRAVELING SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET. HIGHER INCIDENCE AT TIME OF AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. CAN NOT BE RESET BY TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH - MUST COME TO FULL STOP AND TURN OFF ENGINE. WITH RAPID ACCELERATION AND MAINTAINING SPEED AT 55 MPH OR ABOVE "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON. DROP DOWN TO ~50 MPH AND LIGHT COMES ON. GM DEALER CLAIMS NPF BUT PROBLEM OCCURS ALMOST EACH TIME OUT FOR ME. ANOTHER DEALER CLAIMS REPLACEMENT OF TC MODULE NECESSARY - SERVICE TECH TELLS ME IT IS COMMON PROBLEM TO 95 & 96 BONNEVILLES.*AK

• 10/19/2006· TIRES

  SUMMARY: FAILURE OF 3 TIRES ON VEHICLE. I PURCHASED A SECOND SET OF TIRES, YOKOHAMA, FOR MY 1995 BONNEVILLE AFTER HAVING THE ORIGINAL SET FOR SOME TIME. SOON THEREAFTER, TWO TIRES FAILED. THE STEEL BELTS HAD SEPARATED ON THEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS OR SO LATER, THE THIRD TIRE FAILED. THIS FAILURE, UNLIKE THE FIRST TWO, CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED I NOT REPLACE THIS ONE UNDER WARRANTY, DUE TO THE DAMAGE, & THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. UPON DOING SO, INCLUDING A RECOUNT OF MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE,TIRES, AND THE PREVIOUS FAILURES, THE MANUFACTURER INSISTED THE FAILURES WERE MY FAULT. ONE FAILURE OK, TWO, SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT. THREE FAILURES FROM THE SAME SET OF TIRES MAKE ME THINK THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM. *NM

WHEN IT WAS ENGAGED IT WOULD JERK HARD ( SPEED UP THEN SLOW DOWN) I HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS WHEN I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS. MY RADIO LIGHTS DO NOT WORK EITHER WHEN I TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK IT WITH THE POWER LOCKS. *NM

  IN JULY 2000, THE TRUNK SEAL FAILED RESULTING IN SUBSTANTUAL WATER LEAKAGE INTO THE TRUNK. WATER WAS HIDDEN UNDER TRUNK LINING UNTIL ENTIRE WHEEL WELL WAS FULL. ON OCTOBER 1ST THE 1ST TAIL LIGHT LITERALLY FELL OUT. UPON INSPECTION WE FOUND THE SECOND TAIL LIGHT WAS BEING HELD BY ONE PLASTIC PIECE. THE PROBLEM IS THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, BACK INDICATORS, ARE HELD ON BY 4 OR 5 BOLTS AFFIXED TO PLASTIC HOUSINGS. THOSE HOUSINGS HAVE ALL BROKEN OFF AND THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS LEFT HANGING. A DANGER WHEN DRIVING SINCE THEY ARE HANGING OFF THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND A SAAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD THE WIRING FAIL AND NO ILLUMINATE THE TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND BLINKERS. REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHTS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE $250.00 EACH AND STILL HAVE THE PLASTIC BOLT HOUSINGS WHICH WILL UNDOUBTABLY BREAK AGAIN.
