1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Rusts too quickly!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems. Rust on section below doors. (holes on passenger side)
Took it to two Pontiac Body shops where they told me it was not covered because they think it is due to stone chips! I've seen many, many cars much older than mine with no rust there, let alone holes. Now I'm stuck with a car that looks like its in excellent condition with rust holes in it! I can't believe I was not taken care of. And one of my back passenger doors won't open. Had to have truck latch repaired, also.
General comments?
My previous car, a sunbird, had to have both doors replaced because of rust. It was covered, but very inconvenient! So I've had 2 Pontiacs with rust problems? Makes me wonder???
