We're Tracking 27 Pontiac Generations
A generation is a collection of years for a specific model where there isn't much change in the design, parts used, or the manufacturing process. Model years within a generation often share the same problems making them incredibly helpful for predicting problems and overall cost of ownership.

Have a complaint about your vehicle?
The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
