1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT V6 from North America
Summary:
A lemon!
Faults:
Bubbles have been appearing under the paint.
The air conditioner leaks on the passenger side floor.
The air conditioner and heater fan is loud and makes a chirping noise.
I had to have the heater blower replaced.
I had to have the gaskets replaced a total of four times so far.
I had to have the manifolds replaced.
I had thousands of dollars in repairs when my oil and coolant ran together and at that point, I had to have all of the manifolds and gaskets replaced again.
The car is sluggish and getting worse; a tune-up will probably be the next problem.
I had a cracked brake cylinder.
I had to have my brake rotors replaced three times so far.
The security alarm is often faulty and goes off for no reason.
General Comments:
I realize that routine procedures are necessary for maintaining a car properly, and I have these procedures done when needed. I am always very faithful in maintaining my car.
However, the repairs I listed above and which I see other people have listed, are simply not in the realm of normal car care.
I have reached the end of my rope with this car, and I can't keep being late to work because the car is always breaking down! Frankly, we all deserve better!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I also have had problems with my grand prix. I have had to replace the alternator, heater blower, my ac also drained on the floor. Now my front power windows do not work and my windshield wipers stop in the middle of the windshield. They still work, but they stop in the wrong spot. This car has been nothing, but trouble.
