Pontiac 6000 problems
The Pontiac 6000 is a mid-size automobile manufactured and marketed by Pontiac for model years 1982 through 1991 in 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan and 5-door wagon body styles. The 6000 shared the front-wheel drive A platform with the Cutlass Ciera, Buick Century and Chevrolet Celebrity.
The 6000 was manufactured at Oshawa Car Assembly in Ontario, Canada from 1981 to 1988, at Oklahoma City Assembly until production ended, and briefly at North Tarrytown Assembly.
For model year 1984, the 6000 led Pontiac's sales, with a production over 122,000, and was the last Pontiac to carry a numeric designation. The 6000 was offered in a sporty variant, marketed as the 6000 STE, which was named to the Car and Driver Ten Best three times, from 1983 to 1985.
As part of their legacy, together the 6000 and the other A-bodies became enormously popular — as well as synonymous with GM's most transparent examples of badge engineering, highlighted almost indistinguishably on the August 22, 1983 cover of Fortune magazine as examples of genericized uniformity, embarrassing the company and ultimately prompting GM to recommit to design leadership.

Common Pontiac 6000 problems
The Pontiac 6000, manufactured and marketed by Pontiac from 1982 to 1991, was a mid-size automobile that shared the front-wheel drive A platform with the Cutlass Ciera, Buick Century, and Chevrolet Celebrity. Despite its popularity, the Pontiac 6000 was prone to certain issues that owners frequently reported.
- Engine starting problems: Many owners reported difficulties in starting their Pontiac 6000, with the engine cranking easily but not starting when put in gear. The symptoms often pointed to a fuel-related issue, as the engine would stall when revved up, indicating insufficient fuel supply.
- Faulty ignition components: Owners reported replacing various ignition components, such as crank sensors, spark plugs, wires, coils, and the alternator, to address starting issues. In some cases, the ignition switch or water in the fuel could be the culprits. Despite these efforts, the engine would still fail to start completely, suggesting that ignition timing or fuel injectors might be the root cause.
- Radiator leaks and overheating: The Pontiac 6000 was known for chronic radiator leaks, which could lead to overheating and engine damage if not addressed promptly.
- Engine surging and stalling: Some owners reported instances of engine surging and stalling while driving, which could be caused by various issues, such as faulty fuel injectors, a malfunctioning mass air flow (MAF) sensor, or a clogged catalytic converter.
- Electrical issues: Electrical problems, such as faulty instrument clusters or malfunctioning power windows, were also common in the Pontiac 6000.
These issues, while not exhaustive, are some of the most frequently reported problems by Pontiac 6000 owners. Addressing these concerns often requires a thorough diagnosis and replacement of the affected components.

How long do Pontiac engines last?
You should have no problem exceeding 200K with your Bonnevile. I say this mainly because it has the 3.8 engine which is pretty much bulletproof. Just keep up all scheduled maintenance and the Pontiac will be around for years to come. Make sure the transmission is maintained as well.

- Components: STEERING
- Summary: GEN MOTORS RACK AND PINION GEARS HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE1980 WHEN THEY WERE FIRST PRODUCED. I AM A RETIRED FACTORY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FOR GENERAL MOTORS AND I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT. WHEN I WAS IN THE "FIELD" I WAS TOLD UNOFFICIALLY TO MAKE A 'GOODWILL" ADJUSTMENT FOR ANY COMPLAINTS OF RACK AND PINION STEERING GEARS THAT WOULD "LOCK-UP" DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. THE DEFECT IS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF A STEEL SPOOL VALVE PINION IN AN ALUMINUM RACK ASSEMBLY. PRESENTLY THE MANUFACTURERS HAVE CORRECTED THE DEFECT BY INSTALLING A STEEL SLEEVE IN THE PINION SECTION OF THE RACK ASSEMBLY SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A 'TOP HAT" RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. COMPARISONS FORM EARLIER DESIGNS AND PRESENT WILL CONFIRM THIS TO BE TRUE. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE DUE TO THIS INHERENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

It's great to hear that you've had this car for 4 years and put about 54,000 miles on it! It sounds like it's been a reliable car for you and your family, especially with the 2 jumpseats in the back that the kids love.
