1991 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"A powerful and reliable car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the altenator twice.
Replaced the water pump once.
Replaced a gasket on top of the water pump numerous times (the coolant eats away at the gasket causing it to leak)
Replaced the battery twice.
Replaced the spark plugs once. (about time for a set of plugs.)
Replaced the fuel filter once.
Replaced the serpentine belt once.
Sometimes the air conditioning blows through the wrong vents. Example: through the defrost vents on top when it should be on the face.
The lever for the emergency brake broke off.
Seat is sinking down on the drivers side.
Most of these problems are expected with a car this old.
These are all very minor problems for a car of this age.
General comments?
This car is very fast. It has plenty of power for a four door. It just keeps on running and running. Everyone I know who has a 6000 loves it. They all have well over a 100,000 miles on them. I wish they still made cars like this.
