1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE II review from North America

Right from day one I have had the rotars cut, replaced as well as the brakes 3 times, until a mechanical bulletin came out that required upgraded rotars and pads that are $150 more than the standard ones and only have a 1 year warranty and aren't made by Good Wrench.

This car is a piece of junk. GM has had a know rotor and brake problem for over a decade. Everyone in the industry would tell you about GM's poor brakes. The drivers car seat has fallen apart over 5 times and been replace. I have replaced the passanger window 2x and in needs to be replaced again as it becomes miss aligned and then gets hugh gauges into the window pane. I have had the radio replaced and most recently a new Rack Pinion Steering replaced. I have lost coolant completely over 4x times now until GM Dealership admitted a problem and tried to replace the intake gasket kit 3x until they finally got it right. I have also had my reverse right light replaced 3x times and I am putting off getting it fixed again. I have also gone through brake lights prematurely. I am know on my 4 or fifth rear brake light. The car looks nice, drives okay, but is poorly made. Also it is a beast on gas I am lucky to get 350km to a 48-50 liter tank, very poor. I recommend staying away from all North American cars as you get better value and reliability from a Japanese recommend, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry. I have read reports and reviews that state no known problems at all!
