#4295 of 4430 Power Steering Issues '94 grand prix by kevinshorter Dec 20, 2005 (6:03 pm)
I have a '94 pontiac Grand Prix. I had the power steering pump replaced 3 years ago. With in the last couple of month my car as drank power steering fluid. It's leaking all over the ground. It doesn't make any kind of powersteering noise but it's leaking all over... Does anyone have any ideas what it could be.

We have a 96 grand prix SE and are considering a new car. I have been reading all types of cars forums on here and so far the G P is standing up to the rest as the best of them! We have enjoyed ours very much with good gas milage for the size, indeed any size--except compact, relibiality and comfort. We have done nothing to it except tires , brakes and oil in 118,000 K miles. We were considering the Vibe, malibu maxx or Impala but think we are sticking with the G. P.!!! My only problem with this one is it's terrible in the winter the butt end wants to come around without any warning. Other people say theirs is good though----m husband says he thinks ours had been in a accident before we bought it and that has affected it. ( it was 2 years old when we got it) How has any of yours been on the slippery roads? Thanks-westbranhmama Replies to this message: kissbabe (Dec 31, 2005 4:16 pm)

Replying to: westbranchmama (Dec 26, 2005 5:56 pm) I have a 97 GP and had the exact same problem 2 winters ago. No one would believe me, they all said theirs went great in snow. I finally parked it because I was afraid I was going to kill myself. Im the spring I took it to the mechanic for another problem and he noticed the stabalizer bar was bent on the rear wheel. I told him about the rear end kicking out from under me on snow. He said that was my problem and he was right, that winter it handled great and still no problems. He said it looked like someone had tied a tow strap to the bar and bent it since there is really no place to put a strap. Have it checked, Im sure this is your problem.
#4298 of 4430 97 GP terrible smell! by kissbabe Dec 31, 2005 (4:25 pm)
Just recently after driving about 5 miles my car starts to stink, its VERY strong. Been happening for 3 days now. It smells like a combo of plastic/antifreeze/hair/and flesh burning. The first time I thought a cigarette had flown back in the window and was buring amongst the garbage on the floor. Its smells inside and outside equally. There is nothing in the oil, it looks clean. I do seem to be using antifreeze but no leak puddles under my car. No critter nests in the exhaust pipe or on the muffler. Nothing burning on the engine. Any ideas or tips to rule out problems?

#4300 of 4430 lighter fuse location?? by johndringo Jan 02, 2006 (11:08 am)
My wife drives a 2002 Grand Prix and recently the cigarette lighter and auxillary power source quit working. I assume that it's probably just a blown fuse but don't know where the fuse is located and can't find it in the owner's manual. Any help? Thanks.   John
#4301 of 4430 Pics of my 1998 GP GTP by razr89 Jan 05, 2006 (5:36 pm)
Please click the link below to view pictures of my car. Let me know which ones you like. Also, I bought the car used. I was wondering if the rims were part a factory package or maybe the previous owner or whatever. It has some gold colored trim as well. pics   Thanks Brett
#4302 of 4430 Dual Heated Seat Switch Plate by gmfan007 Jan 20, 2006 (3:29 pm)
Our '98 GT came with leather and driver's heated seat. No passenger heated seat was offered in '98. There is a single seat heat switch located on the center console and there appears to be room for a second (passenger) seat switch as well. Question: Was a passenger heated seat offered after '98? If so, I am wondering if a matching switch plate (for two switches) is available for the '98 console. Thanks for any help.

#4304 of 4430 2001 Grand Prix GT transmission problem by chele5 Feb 13, 2006 (6:12 am)
I bought a 2001 Grand Prix from the dealership new. This car has had more problems than any other vehicle I have owned (out of 8). Last year the computer read that the EGR valve was having a problem. The check engine light was on, but no other symptoms appeared. I decided to wait to have it fixed and was told that it would eventually cause the engine to stall out. It NEVER did. After unhooking the battery, the check engine light went out and never came back on. I still have not had problems with the car relating to the EGR valve. However, the other problems have been numerous - from the window motor, fuel regulator, the leaking of anti-freeze in the engine, the list goes on and on. Now the transmission is acting up and they said it was a selinoid going bad and it would cost 4-500 to fix it. I called several transmission places and they all told me the same thing that the GM transmissions are junk. They said if this is what the dealership is telling you is wrong with the car and the dealership didn't "drop" the pan, they can pretty much guarantee me that the transmission will go bad within the year if it is not rebuilt. To have the selinoid and transmission fixed I have been quoted $1500 - 2000. They said it will cost me more to have the selinoid fixed now and then the transmission later. Has anyone encountered this? The car now has 130,000 miles on it and the transmission people told me I was "lucky" because most of the GM transmissions go bad at 70,000 miles. Any suggestions? No wonder GM is in trouble - I know people that will never buy an American car again because of how much trouble they have had with them. I'm beginning to see why.
