1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT review from North America
"HORRIBLE!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first week that I bought my car, the A/C stopped working; there was a flood in my car on the passenger floor, and I had problems with my coolant.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PONTIAC AGAIN!
This is an okay first car, but definitely not worth the money. If I had not purchased a warranty, I would be up to my ears in debt from this junk.
Recently I got into my car, and my door panels were loose. My side window switch fell through the door, my window control switch on the passenger door no longer works, and my rear passenger door chooses when it wants to open for me.
NEVER AGAIN... these problems seem to be re-occurring and should not be happening. Now I am starting to hear a clunking noise every time I start my car in the morning and back out of my driveway.
General comments?
I must say it is very comfortable, but lacks reliability.
It's a shame.
