I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE AND HAVE CARED FOR IT EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AND I HAVE HAD TWO MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURES. THESE SHOULD NOT OCCUR AT SUCH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE TOTALS. I UNDERSTAND SOME MODELS OF PONTIACS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUT I WAS TOLD THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THAT EQUIPMENT. I WILL DEFINTELY CONSIDER ANOTHER MODEL OF CAR OTHER THAN THIS ONE WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR BECAUSE OF MY FRUSTRATION.
