Thread: Just got my Gran Prix 2 days ago, so its without saying, I'm new here

Just picked up a 2008 Gran Prix 2 days ago, and remembered hearing that there was a lot of fans for them...I have a couple issues with mine, but Im hoping the dealership will help get them ironed out. Otherwise, I will be picking some brains on here!

Welcome from another 08 owner!

Its an '08 base model, but I have to say, I'm blown away at the features that are standard. Its all but fully loaded. I came back to the GM side of life after an almost 10 year hiatus. I just got rid of my 04 Intrepid ES (sad day...Dead motor) and needed a set of wheels. I paid a little bit of the high end if you ask me, almost 11K but I think I am gonna be very happy over the long haul. Since I posted last, I did some research, and a little bit of learning, and think the issues I am having are stemming from a piss poor gas cap. The only other problem that concerns me is the airbag light coming on at random times. Sitting on the passenger seat will not turn on the passenger bag either...Im thinking either a bad sensor, or the switch in the seat itself is bad...I am going to be looking into some mods soon, nothing too off the wall (im a dad, and apparently having a hot-rod as a daily driver is a no no), but definitely looking to have a little fun with this car. Any ideas/knowledge anyone has to lend would be greatly appreciated. I will get some pix up soon, but its winter here in Northeast Ohio, and I gotta wash it before its modeling debut!
