Thread: What Do You DISLIKE About Your Grand Prix?

What do you dislike about the Grand Prix in its stock form? It can be anything from design to cheap parts...anything!

Ill Start. I dislike

-How GM takes a great engine like the 3.8, then uses plastic gaskets and intake manifolds to make such a great motor less reliable.

-How the ABS sensor is in the hub. When the sensor goes bad, or gets wet, the ABS system shuts off, throws the light. Nice, when it rains, is when I'd need ABS and TCS, and a bad hub disables the system. So backwards

-When Pontiac uses nice big promising 4 inch fog lights, then uses a 27 watt bulb?!?!

-When a 01 GP has oxidized and hazed headlight lenses, but an 01 Monte Carlo has crystal clear lights.

door panels and that cheap trim on them

Window regulators

the fact that you have to drop the cradle even for the most basic of jobs like a oil pan gasket

the auto dimming rearview mirrors are crap im on my third one

and the power steering rack is junk i have yet to see a gp with some miles on it with out a leaking rack

Hate to burst your bubble, but mine has 125k on it's original rack without a single leak.

I dislike the fact that's the darn thing's FWD... It'd be soooo much cooler as RWD.

The GT and GTP could have worn different gauge clusters...maybe with Volt and Oil gauges, and a boost GAUGE for the GTP (like the Impala SS) and maybe different number and letter font, and also a 150mph speedo. Let the Grand Prix SE use the gauge cluster were all stuck with...

LOL, i got you beat... I have 170k on my white one without a single leak, my black one has a 150k without it leaking too!

[QUOTE=wickedintent79;and the power steering rack is junk i have yet to see a gp with some miles on it with out a leaking rack[/QUOTE]

Mine has 123,300 miles and i haven't come across that issue.

What i don't like about our cars are the headlights when they get foggy and the lack of volt and oil pressure gauges. Would be nice if it was RWD also. A little more horsepower would be nice too. Oh, and the back seats should fold down instead of just the middle part.

Other than that, i love the GP!

gotta agree the door pannels. i feel the 03 style interior is better than the 04
