1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"Nice, reliable and costly car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I first got the car in the summer of 2003 and had noticed the fuel gauge not working. I later found out that it was the fuel sending unit that needed to be replaced. My car had the on-board computer so I looked off the gallons used. It was a rough winter needing the front hub bearing replaced, all 4 struts and strut mounts and the front ball joints. Now when I turn it makes a clicking noise under the passenger side dash. Driver seat is worn pretty bad. I can feel the metal in the seat bottom and on the side.
General comments?
My car is very a very reliable car. The car is very quick and all the top end power you need from a stock grand prix. Handles well and excellent stopping power.
