1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Extended SE review from North America
"Stay Away"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Low coolant light started coming on at 43000. I had to add coolant at least once a week.
It started overheating at 58000 miles. We have had the thermostat changed, and it still overheats. The source of the overheating still hasn't been determined.
The front brakes squeal.
The radio display panel stopped working at 45000 miles.
The doors stopped automatically locking when the van is put into gear at 58000.
General comments?
This van is very unreliable.
This van is extremely expensive to fix.
