2)pockets behind the seats have for some reason broken and fallen off
the clips that hold them on are weak and will break. new clips are like 4-6 dollars from GM
3)Exhaust leak coming from somewhere
no clue
4)When it rained last week real hard my car has 1/2 an inch of water on the drivers side
ever had teh windshield replaced? seems common with non dealership instealled windsheilds on these
5)My lock for my drivers side doesn't unlock unless I use the key. Keyless entry has pwned me.
actuator. easy to replace.
6)The worst fucking paint ever. Ever.
agreed. it looks great when you lean it up and keep it waxed but it chips like a SOB
7)Been through three alternators.
no clue here. maybe a faulty wire or something. or bad rebuilt alternators
8)Replaced waterpump at 60,000 miles.
thats somewhat normal on LSx powered cars
9)Everything is expensive as hell to replace.
im annoyed by this as well. i was hoping it would be cheaper to maintain than the corvette that i almost bought but no.
Really, the car is an absolute failure. I only have 63,000 miles on it and it's one thing after the other, but I still love it. Why? Maybe I'm a masochist?

i think you just got a friday car. mines been pretty great except for a failed lifter but with all the abuse it gets i dont complain. everythign else has been induced by me driving it like a bat out of hell.

Here is the list of problems I'm currently dealing with the GTO.

1)Whining differential


2)pockets behind the seats have for some reason broken and fallen off
That sucks

3)Exhaust leak coming from somewhere
that sucks even more

4)When it rained last week real hard my car has 1/2 an inch of water on the drivers side

i've had a few kinks with my key lock...doesn't help that some fuckers tried to break into it so i had to get the lock replaced.

6)The worst fucking paint ever. Ever.
not worse than the redline red on my z lol...it's pretty bad

7)Been through three alternators.
i don't know what to say about that

8)Replaced waterpump at 60,000 miles.
whoa...

9)Everything is expensive as hell to replace.
i can see why

regardless, i like the GTO...not as much as the T/A but i think it's a nice car for what is is.

i bought my self a cavalier it should be called (POS)
it had all kinds of problems
suspention was shitty
motor kept breaking down
the inside rattled in bumps
i gave it away an bought a infinity

and the only problem i had with my car is.. i need a new air filter
i say thats nothing compared to gm cars...by the way i have toyota never let me down...if the floor mats are the problem take them off.. on gm for their tank stuff u have to go to the dealership (fail)

We'll I'm glad the actuator is easy to replace, I'm going to take one off a wrecked one up in porter on Wednesday.

You wouldn't happen to know the part number on the clips for the seats would you? If I go to a Pontiac dealership are they going to know what I'm talking about?
