This car is really falling apart on me. 2004 with 55K. Check engine lights, weird noises, funny thumps. Looks like it'll be better to just replace it at this point.

My 2000 Grand prix has been making a creaking noise when putting into drive. If I put my foot on the break while in drive and goose the engine it makes the noise too. Resently it started making it when excelerating and breaking. Does this sound like the bottom engine mount???

depending on the milage and the delivery date of your car the control unit and the catalyst should have been covered under the 8 year 80,000 mile federal emissions warranty. if you had it done at the dealer they should have advised you i would contact them if you fall under 8/80 if you had it done at an indepedant shop`you maybe out of luck

After researching this issue with my Pontiac Grand Prix (04), I was happy to read about the same problem being experienced with the steering.
 
I also get a "service variable effort steering" message displayed.
 
I took it to the dealership, and they told me it was due to worn front wheel/hub bearings. After replacing both, the problem did not go away.
 
I then took it to Gerald's Tires to get an all wheel alignment, and the mechanic said that it could be a problem with the intermediate shaft in the steering column.
 
Did the dealership charge you for the replacement....was there a warranty issued for this problem.....?

I have the same year car and have the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago. I would appreciate any info on what it might be if you find out.

AC Problems by trell2_01

I have a 1997 Grand Prix and my ac barely blows air in the middle and driver side vents and the air is warm. Only the passager side my ac blows air normal on any speed and its cool air, this is with it being full of freon. Also I have changed the blower motor.

Clunking Clicking under hard acceleration by virtualdave

I have a 1999 GTP with about 175k on it. Just purchased in January. After replacing a few needed things (tires, mufflers, mass air flow, tune up... it runs like new! Now, this weird thing started: When under load, there is a loud clicking/clanking sound coming from seemingly the left front wheel area. It will drive fine in any gear, at any speed - when I go easy on it, but when I put it to the floor, it makes this loud sound and it feels like something is slipping. I can make it happen at 20mph or at 80mph - I tried revving while coasting in neutral and no sound - only when in drive and when I stomp on it. It sounds and feels like something is skipping. UPDATE- i replaced the cv axle yesterday- didn't help. No play in the bearing either. Is it differential related? Tranny?
 
Heeeelllp! I want to save this car.
