I purchased this car with low mileage and have cared for it exceptionally well and I have had two major equipment failures. These should not occur at such relatively low mileage totals. I understand some models of Pontiac have had recalls for the brake system, but I was told this model does not have a recall for that equipment. I will defintely consider another model of car other than this one within the next year because of my frustration.

For a car with only 80,000 miles on it the transmission should not have failed especialy since it has been in the shop about 8 times since I bought it 2 years ago. The car is always kept up with scheduled changes and never abused but still the car breaks down and GM should consider the 1995 Grand Prix a lemon.

The transmission selector lever is very difficult to put into position. It is very difficult for me and especially difficult for my very small wife. It seems like a severe binding is present, it has become progressively worse over time. Will be taking it to the dealers this week.
