Why does a 2004 Pontiac sunfire work in reverse but not forward?

Is your transmission an automatic, or a manual? I guess in either case, I'd suspect the shifter cable, or it's adjustment. Of course, something inside the transmission may have failed. Take your car to a good mechanic and have the problem diagnosed.

Your Pontiac sunfire wont shift into reverse when the car is started?

If your car won't shift into reverse, try changing the transmission fluid and filter. Sometimes that will solve the problem. If that doesn't help, there could be a problem with the linkage or the shifter cable. Or, if the car is an automatic, make sure you're stepping on the brake pedal before you try to shift out of park. You may need to have a mechanic inspect the transmission.
