My brother works for auto owners insurance, they gave him an 06' Grand prix Base model as a company car, thats all they have are the 04-07 grand prix's Every single one of their fleet cars have had to have their transmissions replaced at about 30K miles. Im not exaturating... EVERY ONE
That scares the hell out of me.... mom has an 05' with 24K miles... And its been shifting hard from park into reverse if you park on an incline.
Not to hijack the thread, but as a recent renter of a new Grand Prix, it doesn't surprise me much that their ATX's are failing at an early age. Watching the ATF temperature on the Driver Information Center soar to 210 degrees F or more during an easy drive on I-20 doesn't make me think they'll be durable transmissions.
my mom's rarely hits 200 degrees, only on the hottest days during road trips... But yes it does pass 200 degrees sometimes. My guess is the trannie in her car will give out at about... 37K miles, right after the warrenty expires
