I have had problems with the rear callipers.
Replaced the alternator twice.
Had it painted once because of paint peeling.
Transmission is just starting to slip in and out of overdrive.
The transmission cooler lines leak.
The waterpump almost ruined the timing cover housing.
Interior seats have faded badly and are torn.
Dash has begun to crack.
Neutral start safety s/w bad.
Turn signal lever/cruise broke.
Driver's side manual window regulator replaced, and I'm still having problems.
The Pontiac Grand Prix is a great car to own but be aware of some of the things you may need to fix, especially the paint job.
Overall rating of this car is just great after I was able to get all these things fixed on the car mentioned above, I am proud to say this is like a new car, I recommend the Pontiac Grand Prix to any car enthusiast, it's a great project car even out of the factory.
I think that the Grand Prix is an excellent car, even though it does have its problems. The maintenance of the car balances out with the look and options the car comes with.
Every time I have to fix my car, I cringe because of the expensive parts, but then I look at it and realize what a nice car it is, and that it is worth keeping on the road.
I wouldn't trade my car for a new one any day!
I have just traded my 76' Dodge Motorhome for a 88 grand prix. It is a nice car, but needs a lot of work to it it seems like.
I own a 1988 grand prix, but I have a problem in the engine.
It is knocking in the engine it does not sound like it is the pistins, but I need some info of what I can do to fix the problem so please tell me if I can get my car running again or should I junk it.
I have an 85 Grand Prix, amazing car Fast!!! Unbelievably fast Its got a 305 and well many other mods I have driven her to the ground for the past 2 months straight and she pulls still. Amazing performance. email me at xbonecolecter@hotmail.com.
I have a 1988 Grand Prix it is my favorite car I ever owned. I do hear a knocking noise in the engine from time to time. Sometimes it acts like it wants to stall then catches itself. Also, on hot days I hear the knoicking sound more and it will not always start or even stay running on hot days. Also once the temperature hits 220 it will not run?? Any ideas what this could be??
