1989 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"OK if you don't mind breaking down once a year"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 alternators.
Ignition switch.
2 electronic control modules.
IAC valve.
Turn indicator control broke off.
Passenger seat belt jammed.
Blown cylinder head.
Jammed electric radio antenna.
Broken shift cable - would not reverse.
General comments?
This car is unreliable, and breaks about one time every year. The level of unreliabilty has been pretty constant since I bought it 12 years ago.
