Faults:

Cold return line from P.S. cracked,

Rear spring broke.

A.C. failed, but was fixed.

Had to change alternator and battery.

Changed calipers 4-5 times.

Got lucky?? I kept up with maintenance and nothing major has gone wrong! Knock on wood.

Faults:

I had to replace the head gasket at 90K. Then again at 120K, and now I have to do it again at 156K. I found out through research that these 3.4L engines are well known to do this.

Outside of normal wear, the vehicle is a good car. discounting the head gasket ongoing issue, which is expensive.

General Comments:

Handles like a sports car. The model I purchased had everything the GT had, but it was an SE.

Cup holder design not good.

Interior is sporty, like the exterior.

Faults:

So far I've had to replace: ball joints both sides, rotors, axles both sides, struts in the front, bearings on both sides in front, power steering pump, alternator, battery, coil pack, exhaust, radiator and tail light.

I've spent literally thousands of dollars on this car and it is a piece of garbage!! As soon as you fix one thing, another breaks.

Engine stutters, back fires, misfires and stalls especially when idling or backing up. Constant problems, expensive fixes.

General Comments:

This car is garbage!!! These engines (quad 4) are known for many problems. The front end of these cars are junk.

Really the only good thing I can say about this car is when it runs right, it has a lot of power for a 4 cylinder.

Think twice before you buy one, you'll regret it big time.

Faults:

My red 4 door 99 Pontiac GD had no problems for about 6 years when I first bought it. Then in winter 08, all the head gaskets blew at once and that was a $1700.00 fix..

Then the tensioner and belt fried; that was a $450.00 fix.

Then the water pump went, anti-freeze leaking everywhere, smoke everywhere. That was a few hundred dollar fix.

Now I think there is an electrical problem, because if I start it and let it run, I have to roll the window down a little bit so I can reach my hand in and unlock it, because it locks and unlocks by itself, and the trunk will pop open, and the dash lights will go on and off.. even when I am driving it.

I haven't got that checked out because I am sick of putting money into this car. Seems like a lot of people are having problems with their GD.

I have only replaced the alternator once luckily. But today my service engine soon light came on. I am worried to go get this checked out.

Also the car makes a rattling noise.. everyone says it needs new struts. I have put more money into the car than what I paid for it!!!

I will not get another Pontiac!!
