1989 Pontiac Grand Prix LE review from North America
"The 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix LE is a great car... All except for the brakes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Grand Prix has a terrible brake system... Rear calipers lock up all the time... I would say I have spent over $3000 dollars on just the brakes, and I've only had the car for three years!
General comments?
The 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix LE is a great car... All except for the brakes.
I had to replace the alternator once.
The power steering pump blew up once... When I would turn on the heater; all I could smell was power steering fluid for a while.
