1999 Pontiac Grand Prix gtp review from North America
"This car peforms well, but falls apart quickly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car would stop running while driving, from purchase to 5,000 miles, then fixed itself?
Clear coat paint cracked and peeled on hood and top after 2 yrs.
Window mechanism on 2 doors broken off at end...$1800 parts.
Panel below back passenger door fell off.
Water dripping inside car by fan.
Blower fan went out... very short wires under there.. not a fun job...150 for part.
Tcs, ABS and cruise computer went out at 50,000 miles...$900 for new computer brain.
Reflective digital read out freaked out when it got hot after about 2 years...has never been the same since.
Rearview mirror fell off.
$2700 in parts, not 2 mention labor, just 2 get the car in order 2 sell... how much is a 99 worth now?
General comments?
I like the way these cars look, handle and perform.
They get good mileage.
Comfortable also.
