2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 40th Anniversary review from North America
"The car is very nice, though the minor problems get on my nerves"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the lifters in this car go out, and this car only has 81,250 miles on it.
Our window motors have gone out in 3 of the 4 windows.
When the dealer put the door cover back on, he put it on wrong so it rattles.
Paint chips on the hood.
Foggy Headlight after last washing.
Catalytic converter went out.
When the lifters started going out and the engine made a noise, the dealer refused to fix it and said they didn't hear anything.
Engine shakes in park at 4500 rpm.
Foam rings around the speakers in the trunk are coming off.
Seat cover is ripped (dad's fault) he had a screwdriver in his pocket.
General comments?
VERY SPORTY CAR I have only seen 3 like it in 3 years.
It handles well, although when we jump-started my grandma's Oldsmobile and I revved the engine up to juice the battery, it was in park and it redlines at 5500 and the engine started to shake around 4500 rpm.
Handles like a dream.
VERY QUICK.
Lack of power...200 horses is pathetic for a v6 like that.
Interior is beautiful.
Very comfy and roomy... a lot of trunk space for groceries.
Future collector.
NOT a lemon just minor problems.
