Electrical problems for which the dealer could not help. This resulted in 4 starter motors until I finally figured out myself that the green wire was not connecting at the neutral safety switch.
Problems of corrosion of gas line and brake lines started in about 8th year (despite several undercoating treatments).
Front brake rotors wear often, but are not expensive to replace.
Interior lighting is great. Lots of lights.
I still love this car after 14 years!
A/C failed after 5 years, but still have the original radiator.
Handling improved when I replaced the original tires with Michelin.
An excellent aerodynamic style and good interior space for a young family. Too bad GM does not make something comparable today.
The plastic gas tank is nice as it does not corrode.
I don't think Pontiac made a 2001 Tempest- did you get the model year right?
Never mind that, the reviewer seems to think that 2001 was 14 years ago!
