Faults:

My car has been the best car, I have had a couple things go wrong with it... at 123,000 miles the radiator cracked, I was told it was a common crack with Grand Prixs, the at 126,500 miles the water pump went out. Other than that my car has been a wonderful car. Except for the stiff seats, but its all workable.

General Comments:

I was really hesitant to buy another Pontiac, since my first one was a junker, I only had my Grand Am for about four months, and that car blew up. but since I got this Pontiac I have been very very pleased with my car and have had absolutely no problems, that car has never left me stranded on the side of the road (unlike my other Pontiac). I guess if someone was to ask me if I was going to buy another Pontiac, I would have to say 'yes,' but I would only buy another Grand Prix.

Faults:

Wiper motors were failing when I acquired the car, dealer replaced due to manufacturer recall.

Mass air flow sensor was cracked when I acquired the car, caused the motor to idle rough and engine to miss, dealer replaced.

Traction control system went haywire when the alternator was failing and not supplying enough voltage.

Canister purge valve failed at 88000 miles.

Steering column makes light clicking noise when you turn the wheel.

Manufacturer recall on steering bearing, manufacturer replaced.

General Comments:

This has been a pretty solid car since I got most of the neglected maintenance items out of the way when I first got the car.

Faults:

When I got the car the radio's volume button was broken, but I had the dealer install a new facotry radio. The battery died so I bought a new one. Other than that, the passenger power window makes noise when going up/down, I think the motor is shot.

General Comments:

I like the car, it handles well in adverse conditions and always got me to my destination. The engine has good acceleration and the car brakes very well. driving in Florida isn't easy (old people) and the car's maneuverability has got me out of a lot of situations. if you take of of your car it will take care of you. it is my first car and I will buy from Pontiac again.

Faults:

One of the problem I have had with the car thus far was that the lens for the headlight fell apart.

General Comments:

This is the first nice car I have owned and I just love it. I like the way that it handles and the acceleration that it has.

The car handles great and has good power for a family sedan. I just wished that Pontiac's Quality Assurance department had greater resolve.
