2007 Pontiac Grand Prix

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Grand Prix.

Body PASSENGER CAREngine Electric

The 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Electric is a passenger‑car platform powered by a proprietary electric drivetrain, marking the brand’s early entry into electrified transportation. With 220 owner complaints recorded for the year, the vehicle’s most frequent issue involved exterior lighting, a concern that was also reflected in its four model‑year recalls. In the broader reliability context of the Grand Prix line from 1990 to 2008—where the peak of 859 complaints occurred in 1997 and the lowest of 102 in 1996—the 2007 model’s complaint volume sits roughly in the middle, suggesting a moderate but not exceptional reliability profile for the series.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix registers 220 complaints, representing a decline from the 2004 spike of 454 yet remaining above the 142 recorded for the final 2008 model year. While recalls doubled to 4 compared with 2 in both 2005 and 2006, investigations dropped to zero, and technical service bulletins climbed to 815 as part of a sustained upward trend that peaked at 871 in 2008. The data identifies Exterior Lighting as the dominant complaint category with 59 filings, though the federal record does not specify root causes for these electrical concerns. With complaint volume moderating downward from mid-decade highs but TSBs indicating persistent service needs, 2007 sits late in the model run with manageable but notable maintenance documentation; buyers should verify whether exterior lighting and electrical TSBs have been addressed, making this a conditionally acceptable year if service history is complete.
