  • The 1998 was better! - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I have had transmission problems (repl under warr.) & brake prblems (pads repl several times under warr. My 1998 was "the best car I ever drove" in 35 yrs 800,000 miles of driving. The 2000 was NOT as good as my 98! I also miss the lumbar support from 98

  • Too many little annoyances - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I leased this car new in 2000. Within 1 month, I had to take it back for service 3 times: the battery failed, the AC stopped working & the console lights failed. Over 3 years, Ive had to get the AC fixed 2 more times, replace the battery twice (and this is through normal use, I never left the lights on or anything), and various other nitpicky things. There really must be some problem with the electrical system. Its a decent car, and nothing TOO terrible has gone wrong with it, but the accumulation of little things just made owning it a pain.

  • A Rotting Lemon - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Beyond the annual trips to the mechanic to fix a leak or a rattle, we had a to have the entire steering system replaced at 75000, the AC redone soon thereafter. Then the fun started. The dirvers side window motor broke, the drivers side seat mechanics broke, and the door panels are constantly popping out of place. Last week, the light for the radio and clock went out. Now were replacing the radiator and selling it ASAP. Its fun to drive and handles well, if only the roads to the mechanics were more windy we could have more fun!

  • Disappointed - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I love the appearance of my car, but after a while of having it...so many problems to overcome! Transmission is bad, replace brakes all the time, water leaks into the driver side floor, had to replace the intake gasket and the computer part of the accelerator... etc. I was so excited about the car and then all of these things started happening... and of course... no more warranty. I love my car, I just wished it worked like it should and that I could be 100% sure that I will make it when I get in it and go somewhere..ha ha.

  • Never Again - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

    Never again will I own a Pontiac Grand Prix. My 2000 has been nothing but one problem after another.

  • Fun, looks good but poor quality - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Bought the car new. Still like the car, but expensive to maintain. Have had lots of minor problems and some major ones. Water leaks around doors and trunk, lumbar support switch replaced several times, Bose radio led disappeared, heater fan replaced, headlight plastic replaced, power window switches quit working, auto feature on rearview mirror does not work, fuel pump replaced, brake light wiring shorted out, etc. Major problems: Car vibrates when accelerating. Dealer replaced HUBS and axles and motor mounts three times as well as brake rotors. Alignment did not help. New tires did not help. New wheels did not help. I just live with the vibration now.

  • Good Car....for a few years - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    My Grand Prix was great the first 4 years with the exception of trim coming off around the windows or other minor things. Just recently I have been having bigger problems. Door panels are low quality with connectors that break very easily (plastic!). Even more frustrating is the window regulator that failed. The dealership wants $450 to fix - ridiculous! They are poorly designed and can be expected to go bad in time...so beware and dont use your electric windows.

  • I like my car but...... - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    I purchased my grand prix gt a few years ago at auction. It had 101tho. miles. The car looked good and ran well at first but then many big issues began coming up. It seems each time it breaks down its at least 300 in repairs, it makes a gosh awful sequel.The belt was replaced twice and it still squeals? Also my gas gauge quit working awhile back . It also has some electrical glitches because random lights on the panel go on for example the low fuel light goes on all the time as well as the oil and coolant lights (even when all these things are changed) and the open trunk light doesnt work at all. Also the car is rusting pretty bad underneath But for 12 yrs old and counting its a decent car!

  • 2000 GTP - 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
    By -

    Car started out great, suspension soon rode like a 85 towncar, couldnt take a turn at any speed, very "floaty". Dealer said nothing they could do. Went ahead and installed all new suspesion, not a cheap thing. This helped. At 30000 miles, both outer tie-rod end went out. At 38,000 miles, both wheel hubs had to be replaced, due to worn out bearings. Trunk leaked, HUD went out for a while, driver window is intermitent. And now the plastic bolts holding the bumper on are starting to break, causing the car to rattle when going over any bumps. This car has 42000 miles on it. Will be the last American car that I buy for a long time. Unless it is pre 75.
