1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"This car has sexy looks and the feeling of driving a very fast car for a great bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced both mufflers, after purchase Km's
Replaced front struts after 3000 Km's.
All brakes needed to be replaced with high end brakes, these braked have since been without problem after 3000 Km'a.
Center counsel lid broken at hinge, to expensive to replaced, this problem was like this at purchase Km's.
ABS relay shorted out displaying ABS light as well as burning fuse box under my hood. The job costed me close to $400 from the dealer.
Had to replace heater core after 2000 Km's of driving.
General comments?
Power locks seem to jam very often.
Oil leaks have been fixed several times however keep coming back.
Car takes forever to blow hot air, and when it does it doesn't blow enough air.
Heat control knobs on car are week and have broken since.
Car looks sharp with after market touch ups.
