1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"POS. period"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Having transmission problems. My car won't shift into overdrive at all. It will shift from 1st to 2nd and that's it. Could this problem be remedied cheaply? There is a SES light on, haven't ran any codes yet. I'm thinking it could be a TCC or possibly the entire Torque Converter. Any help would be excellent...
Other than that the car is a pile. No more Pontiacs and I'm seriously reconsidering any GM models. This is the worst used car I've ever owned BY FAR.
General comments?
It needs struts, tires, alignment, exhaust repair, door handle repair, A/C repair, just about everything in the car needs work. It's ready for the junkyard as it sits.
