When should I come in for Pontiac Bonneville differential service?

Can my Bonneville malfunction warning light be reset at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

All About 2004 Pontiac Bonneville Drivetrain Service

Your Bonneville’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Pontiac, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Bonneville and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2004 Pontiac Bonneville to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Pontiac's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Pontiac Bonneville Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2004 Pontiac Bonneville drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Pontiac Bonneville may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Pontiac Bonneville doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2004 Pontiac Bonneville? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
