2000 Pontiac Sunfire

On certain vehicles, if the engine fails to start and the driver holds the key in the "Start" position for an extended period, high current flowing through the ignition switch may produces enough heat to melt internal switch parts.  If the switch is damaged, a fire could occur in the steering column, even with the engine off and the key removed.   Correction:  Dealer will install a relay kit to prevent high current from flowing through the ignition switch.

Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 101- Location and Identification of Controls and Displays.  Vehicles exhibit a condition in which the "Generator Low Voltage" indicator light will not illuminate under low voltage conditions. Correction:  Dealers will reflash the vehicle PCM with new calibration software.

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 101 - Control Location and Identification.  The instrument panel backlighting may not function after adjusting the interior light intensity.  If the instrument panel is not lit at night, the driver may not be able to see the controls and displays.  Correction:  Dealers will test the body control module (BCM) for the condition, and if necessary, replace the BCM.
