1990 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Gutless wonder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaks from just about everything.
Warped rotors.
Seized calipers.
Alternator went at 100000.
Water pump at 120000.
Turn signal switch at 100000.
Driver seat no longer reclines.
Interior gets worse every day.
Doors freeze shut a lot.
Door handles break in bitter cold.
Power antenna never worked.
Power steering hose replaced at 110.
Power steering pump replaced at 110.
Transmission slips out of gear and gets stuck in gear at high speeds.
Strut bearings on both sides are seized resulting in terrible pull.
I could go on for days.
General comments?
Who ever thinks this is a sports car needs to go try a bmx bike.
Good car for a sixteen year old kid, but you will probably put more money into it than you paid for it.
On the plus side it runs clean (except for oil leaks) but that's about it.
And 4000 rpm it sounds like a dying cat.
