#4392 of 4431 GM warranties SUCK by tjisirishguy May 19, 2008 (3:07 pm)
have 2005 Grand Prix. driving down the road, the right front brake began grabbing. Took car in, had new rotors pads and calipers put on. Driving along, Trac light comes on accomponied by the ABS light. Sometimes it works just fine. Took car back in, said I needed a new front wheel bearing, this IS a major problem these cars have, Replaced wheel bearing, everything fine, WAIT ! Car begins its old tricks, ABS and TRAC come on, peddal pulsating from false signals from the now fixed wheel bearing, this is where these cars detect wheel slippage and/or traction and use the brakes to either stop wheel spin for traction or unlock the brakes when they lock up, they are a connected problem. Car started having problems at 73,000 miles or so.Ofcourse the warranty was gone and the car is not even paid for. I have had chevy's all my life, I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER unless it has a 235 , 6 cylinder, LOL. I have been told I now need a new right wheel bearing...what do you guys or gals think?
#4393 of 4431 watch out` by tjisirishguy May 19, 2008 (3:27 pm)
I forgot to mention, The intake mainifold on these GM vehicles WILL need replaced unless you drain the DEX cool out and use a less corosive Anit-Freeze...Good Luck

#4395 of 4431 hi again by tjisirishguy May 20, 2008 (10:08 am)
I took car in (grand prix) had the connections to the wheel sensors cleaned, this completely stopped the abs/trac light and peddal pulsation for one moth, started again, assuming they need cleened again, poor design, but something you can do yourself, I have spent 350 for a wheel bearing, 541.00 for complete front brakes and all the time, the problem was dirty connections, before you spend money like I did, clean yours, see what happens!..Good Luck, Tj

Replying to: wbeard6 (Jan 12, 2008 10:58 am) I have had to put wheels hubs on my 94 and 90 GP also 1999 Olds Alero, 89 buick regal . They go bad alot on these cars. on myt olds the sensor was built on the hub and went bad a week after putting it on the car. My only thought is to look for a wheel hub with a life time warrenty, can be expensive but will pay off latter.
#4397 of 4431 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix Rough idle by headach Jun 25, 2008 (5:05 pm)
I just purchased a little fixer upper for $900.00. I is a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix LE with the 3.1 Multi Port V6 with only 92000 miles. I have put a new alternator, oil change, tune up, and batt new before i bought the car. The cars is FAST and runs great except for minor problems like the slip in the tranny at 20 mph which has been occuring on my 89 Buick Regal since i bought it with 99000 and it now has 172000 and still is running great. My only problem i really want fixxed is that when the car is under load for example radio, turnsignal, lights, it has a rough almost stalling idle. It only stalled ounce when making a tight turn without moving and hasn't stalled since the alternator. what do u think it could be? I love this car and plan to have it for a while.

Replying to: mikecreen (Nov 17, 2006 12:39 pm) I have a 2004 grand prix and I experienced this problem when I first purchased it. If your tilt steering is not locked into position properly you will have these problems. Check on that if you are still having problems.   good luck

#4400 of 4431 24 hrs of Lemons Race by mick7227 Jul 23, 2008 (5:45 pm)
I am entering a 91 GrandPrix in an endurance race called 24 hours of Lemons. Car had to be purchased for under $500 and then you add safety equipment. Anyway, looking for some advice: - Is there a rear sway bar upgrade or other suspension tricks for this year car - Any tuning tweaks? It has the 3.1 engine and it runs pretty good now.   Any advice on keeping this beast alive for 24hrs? Will be racing at Toledo Spwy in Sep.
