1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP review from North America
"A desirable image of the Pontiac GTO."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the switch in the driver's side window.
A new transmission was installed after 70,678 miles.
Water leaks into the headlights, causing moisture when the car is washed or when it rains.
The rear window brake lights have gone out.
The starter and several batteries have been replaced.
There is a shortage in the steering wheel control panel, when I attempt to turn up the radio with the volume control, it goes to mute.
The heater in the driver seat does not work.
General comments?
I love the way the car handles.
The gas mileage is decent considering the car has a powerful supercharged engine.
