1991 Pontiac Grand Prix Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THIS IS SENCOND GRAND PRIX I HAVE HAD AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND THE ENGINE CHECK GAUGE LIGHTS ARE ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH 99% OF GRAND PRIX. HE SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WIRING IN BEHIND THE TACK BOARD (THE DISPLAY OF SPEED, RPM, TEMP, ETC.) HE SAID IT WAS COMMON BUT IT DOESNT HURT ANYTHING WITH THEM BEING ON. THE PROBLEM IS THAT GETTING FIXED IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS OR WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL WORK FOR THIS CAR. *AK
