"A 'fast' way to lose your money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My water pump failed at 35,800, just under warranty.

The front steering rack failed because of a faulty valve, $1,200 to fix with no option of finding a refurb'ed one. Not covered under warranty.

Front headlight cover just disappeared. $150 bucks to replace.

Fog lights burn out repeatedly.

Front right tire makes a annoying high pitched sound. Dealer said everything was within normal tolerances?

Battery needed replaced (which I know falls under normal usage), but how it broke was strange. It corroded from the inside. The mechanic had never seen that before.

General comments?

I do love this car. It's quick and great looking. The engine is so smooth, but..

I will never buy another one or recommend that anyone else buy one either.

I can't wait to get rid of it.

I myself have a 97'Grand Prix, I've been through all of the incidents which you have posted, such as the headlight lenses suddenly disappearing, I think that my head gaskets blew, because every time I press the accelerator down it seems like the car can't go without shaking. Even right now my car is sitting in the garage with a broken power steering line, a dead battery, and only my fourth speed on my heater works. when you find a solution please post for all of us like you.
