1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 3.1L from North America
Summary:
Not built for high mileage
Faults:
Battery went dead and the alternator soon followed.
Rear leaf spring splintered on the drivers side.
Fuel pump broke.
2 foot crack in the middle of the windshield.
Drivers door handle broke on the inside of the door. Couldn't open door from the outside.
Rear defroster not fully working.
The latch on the hood gets stuck sometimes so it becomes impossible to open the hood no matter how many times you pull on the hood release lever.
Back passenger side power window button broke and fell inside arm console.
Car jolts when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear.
Leaking lots of oil. Was leaking transmission fluid, but then stopped for some reason.
General Comments:
Very comfortable seats.
The structure of the car is built well so there has never been any rattling.
I have never replaced the shocks on the car and it has a very smooth ride due to the suspension.
I put a lot of money into repairs. I won't be getting another older Pontiac.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

It sounds like this car was abused, because I never had any of these problems except the excessive oil consumption.
