1999 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Nice looking, but built to break over and over"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Water leak on passenger side due to rubber seal. Reached by removing the heater fan and pushing it back in place.
- Coolant leak in number 1 cylinder. Ruined engine. Replaced it.
- Strut mounts don`t last.
- Very weak headlights, even with Sylvannia Nighthawk bulbs.
- Now the engine is stalling only when warm. Changed fuel filter; I am not sure where to begin to start changing more parts without spending more than the car is worth.
General comments?
Last Pontiac I will ever own!!!
Just type in stalling problems and view all the results, which proves this is not the exception.
