Exclamation 2001 Bonneville SSEi A LOT OF PROBLEMS!!!!

2001 Bonneville SSEi, acquired from a dealership one year after its original purchase (circa 2002). Around 200,000 miles. Was driven 45 minutes one-way to and from work. So here are some of my problems:

SSEi was in a prior accident front-driver side bumper was severely damaged.
Title was salvaged when acquired from the dealership circa 2002.
"Idiot lights" are on, which consists of:
Service Engine Soon
TRAC OFF
BRAKE
Anti-lock
Air Bag
Driver-side seat warmer isn't functional
Engine burns oil
5/6 cylinders are functional
Passenger side of front windshield is extremely foggy on the inside
Was told when codes were pulled, the engine will not turn
Was in another accident, front-driver bumper was damaged severely. (same spot as prior accident)

Recently, I have replaced a spark plug in one of the suspected cylinder bays, and now the SSEi seems to hesitate to survive when accelerating and staying idle. Also when the speedometer goes above 25, SERVICE ENGINE SOON flashes, but when dropping below 15, stays illuminated.


Please. Help.

OK, what do you want here? You have an anti lock issue must be scanned with an abs function scannner for a diagnosis. You have an air bag problem, must be scanned with an abs function scanner for a diagnosis. You are burning oil, if the proper pcv is in place you have internal engine problems. What ever cyl. is missing could be part of the oil burning issue, have a bad coil or wire, again addt'l on site diagnosis required. Fogging w/s could be a bad heater core source of possible coolant loss under the heater case must be looked at. As you see from here there is really no way resolve these issues.

What if anything on this car has been checked or replaced?

The SES flashing means that the car has a random multiple misfire..

Need to know what all of the codes are..

Like stated above ABS and AIR Bag issues need to be scanned to see where the problem is..

There are many things that were replaced on the SSEi. Most of the repairs were outside of my ownership. The Bonneville was under my moms ownership since 2002. I've acquired the SSEi earlier this year. We have replaced the following while under my ownership:
Brake assembly
Drive shaft
Brake rotor was re-conditioned
Wheel bearing

Re: 2001 Bonneville SSEi A LOT OF PROBLEMS!!!!

Any idea when the plugs and wires were changed? And what plugs were used..?

I'd say start with all of the tuneup items if they have never been done..

I've replaced a spark plug for one of the cylinder bays. It was running fine for a while, but then the shaking occurred shortly after. I forgot what cylinder it was for but I'll check tomorrow when I have the time. Thank you all for your prompt answers!!

Re: 2001 Bonneville SSEi A LOT OF PROBLEMS!!!!

I had a problem almost like yours trac light was on climate control was lit up but had no numbers the message center was rolling errors. I figured out that if I used the key to start the car that all the errors were there if I used my remote starter no errors untill I hit the brake


It eneded up being the keyswitch wasnt giving power to all of the circuits
