All of the paint on the trim molding has come off. After repeated attempts to talk to the manufacturer and told basically to get lost I gave up and haven't purchased another pontiac since. Of course, our family has made three new car purchases since then but none of them pontiac.

The rear axle of this front wheel drive vehicle broke during a low speed curve. This caused the right rear wheel to go sailing off and caused the driver initially to lose control of the car. No oncoming traffic was involved. The car did hit the curb blowing the front tire and then hit a traffic sign. The insurance commpany totalled the car. The manufacturer will not deal with me.

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 pontiacs 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.
