1995 Pontiac Grand Prix SE review from North America
"Not bad because you can fix most things yourself"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Moisture in the rear passenger tail light.
Theft control module replaced. Car would not start at times. Took 2 years to pinpoint the problem.
Constant brake repairs until we put on high end brakes.
Console lid broke off at the hinge.
EGR causing engine light to come on at 80 kmh. $300 to replace EGR.
Buttons broke off seat belt straps. Buckle slips down into where the strap comes out. Also gets caught in door breaking the lenses on both front doors.
Radio knob broke. Glued and fixed.
Alternator replaced twice. At 100,000Km and 190,000Km ($250.00 for part only) Easy to install.
Serpentine Belt tensioner replaced at 190,000km.
General comments?
All repairs can be done by owner. Use Haynes manual.
