Well the title to this forum is pretty general, so I'll post this as a single post. I was on ClubGP but something happened to my membership, and now starting from scratch here. Hope this forum has better database reliability.

I bought my 2002 GTP new. Now, at 60,000 miles, I have a summary of small problems.


1. Winshield washer fluid pump crapped out.

2. Low Coolant level switch failed in the LOW position, meaning I have a constant "low coolant" light ON on my dashboard.

3. Parking Brake light always ON, I'm not entirely sure the cause of this one, probably the switch that detects it has failed in the ON position.

4. Some kind of alignment problem, she bears to the right slightly, even after new tires, new balancing/alignments, new rotors/brakes, I think I had a shoddy brake job done with my last set of rotors.

5. The spring in the rear driver's side door actually broke off, there is proof of rusting, but not heavy rusting. The door now will not stay open.

6. The power lumbar adjustment in the driver's seat is broken.


Also had a seat heater replaced during the warranty period.

To summarize, I think my Pontiac is showing a few more problems than has been expected at this point on the road.

Up until about 50k miles or so, everything was dandy and I was happy I didn't have any problems. Now it seems everything is falling apart at once.

What is your experience with Pontiac at 60k or 5 years of less than average mileage???
Any worse than mine?

it might not be red is it?? the gremilins like red cars lol

With my car, the only things I've had wrong, that I recall:

-Blower Motor Resistor
-Circuit for rear right door
-Courtesy light for driver's door
-Keyless Entry

A couple of those existed when I got it, '00 @ 88k miles. It now has around 110k.

i bought mine in oct of lastyear with 105 on its, have 125k on it now, and the only problems i had are the maf and physical problems.. u should take that car back to the place u got it and say wtf..

Might be a late blumming LEMON. I have a 2002 gtp and I think I replaced was the blower motor resistor. My heated seat doesn't work, never fixed. Other then that the rest is mods and new tires and brakes. I have 66,000 miles.

All minor problems anoying yes but all easily remidied until about 100k when more serious problems will probably arrise.Welcome aboard .Chico(pops)
