I have a 2001 Grand Prix SE as well and I have had nothing but problems with this car. I got it used from my uncle, who is a car dealer, and it had 13,000 problems on it. At 35,000 the engine went. I noticed a knocking in the engine the got louder and louder as time went on. I had the engine replaced! At 37,000 miles my car starts shifting hard. Each gear would shift real hard. So I call up the Pontiac dealer again, and I bring it in. They hook it up to the computer and I guess there were a few bad sensors causing the hard shifting. They told me to drive it like that, and I did. About a week later, I get in my car, start it up, put it in drive, hit the gas and go nowhere!! My tranny died. I had it towed, and they had to replace a lot of sensors and do some work on my tranny. Now, my check engine light is on again. Now they think there is a short in my computer.....
This car has been a complete nightmare...I hope your car doesn't follow in the footsteps of my car.
