2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Nice car - any safety inspections done at the factory??"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the midst of rush hour traffic last night, after owning the car for all of 4 weeks the car came to a sudden stop with a loud clunk and started spewing transmission fluid all over the highway. Apparently some pin? had come loose and punctured the transmission, and now pretty much everything in the front end needs replacing. First time I ever saw a new car literally "fall apart".
Oh - and the heated seats don't work. But that's OK, because the car is at the dealers now, where it is nice and warm.
