1997 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm not even sure on where to begin with this. So many things, so little space.
The headlight covers do come off, and seem to be within a short time of each other. This is not a cheap fix, since the whole assemamble needs to be bought.
The blower motor module, radio, wiper assemable, drain plug, water pump, alternator, pw control (so I could roll down the windows). The front brakes three times now, and only had the car for 32,000 miles. These are some of the things the have benn replaced. I have no prob with general maintenance, and do except some issues. This is well past that.. and I haven't listed everything...
General comments?
Don't buy.
