1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"A wonderful first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The W body brakes were the worst thing that GM ever built. We have had many problems with the braking sysytem on this car. Over $2000 probably.
We have had 2 alternators go, 3 rotors, 1 caliper, the trunk rattles, and the emergency brake does not work.
General comments?
This is a great car when it comes to reliability and economics. However, little things tend to go wrong with it. The little things are not major, but can be very annoying.
