1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"P.O.S"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very bad oil leak gaskets are going out.
Rear end went out had to get a new one.
Relay fuse blew.
Left window motor went out.
Cd player never did work.
Eating up tires had to replace 4 times in 5 months.
Air conditioner motor went out had to replace.
Battery cable was just sitting on there broke off.
Check engine light came on and has a hole in the air compressor had to fix.
Pulley for the turbo charge broke twice had to replace also.
The resistor went out had to replace that too.
And this has all happened within a year, but here is the dang kicker. My car started on fire today and totalled it. Started under the hood and we think it is the relay fuse box that started it. It was sitting in the garage and I had just drove it too. Only been home 5 minutes before it happened.
General comments?
I would not advise anyone to buy this p.o.s. it is too much of a hassle and nickel and dimes you to death. I will never ever buy another one. They look awesome, but not worth the money and the time. just makes me mad and only had not even 90,000 miles on it. what a pile.
