1990 Pontiac LeMans review from North America
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the alternator twice in a two week span.
The battery died.
The Catalytic Converter fell off.
It overheats fast.
It is leaking anti-freeze and water somewhere.
Headlights went out, due too bad wiring.
Alignment is off horribly.
Replaced brake pads and rotor at 90,000 miles.
It stalls periodically.
General comments?
This car has been nothing, but problems to fix, and when I do have to fix it, the parts are really difficult to find, since they do not make the parts for it anymore. Although it does start, even in the very cold, it is not a reliable car anymore due to all the problems it has had in the past month and a half. It is not a quick or powerful car, due to the small engine. And, it is very fuel efficient. I guess that's what you get for $600.
