1998 Pontiac Trans Sport review from North America
"Overall handling is great and gas mileage is great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New extra remote key-less entry only lasted 1 year.
Driver side window regulator has been replaced twice. Very expensive to be replaced.
Wiring for front airbags lights are under the front seats and had to be taped together to keep the airbag light from remaining on at all times.
Power window circuit box on drivers side had to be replace. Very expensive to be replaced.
Front seats are very uncomfortable, they lean to one side. Seats fabric has worn badly.
Alternator had to be replaced after 2 years. Very expensive to be replaced.
Brakes squeal even when new.
Vehicle is nice to look at, but very replacement parts are very expensive.
Vehicle is very easy to drive, but very expensive to obtain new or used parts.
General comments?
I will never buy a Pontiac Minivan again.
