2000 Pontiac Grand Am Reviews - Page 32 of 54

Water was leaking into the car from fresh air vent.

The blower resistor went bad due to leak.

Water was leaking into the car from both doors.

A knob broke off of climate control.

The blinker stopped working.

Car does not start easily.

This car replaced my first Grand Am.

I love my car despite it's faults.

I was unhappy to find that my car had leaks in the same locations as the previous one.

I no longer trust that General Motors will built quality cars.

I have had nothing but problems with this car. The drivers side window stopped working at 30,000 miles I paid 700 to get it fixed. The shocks and brakes have been replaced twice at 45,000 miles and at 56,000 miles. I have had to replace my drivers side rim at 45,000 miles that was a 500 dollar job! The ignition also went out at 50,000 miles that was a 270 dollar job. Now I have problems in the tire well 390 dollars and my radiator is shot at 60,000 miles!

This car is a heap of crap! It cost's to much money to fix and is broke down all of the time. Don't buy a Grand Am unless you are willing to spend thousands of dollars fixing it!

I have had water in the rear reverse lights which have been fixed/re-sealed numerous times.

The "turn signal element" was replaced due to a clicking noise happening from time to time without the signal on.

The fuel pump was replaced, followed a week later by the power steering.

The "speed sensor" is now out causing the Service Vechicle Soon, ETS and ABS lights to come on. Also no ABS.

Seeing other comments from people, it seems like there's been a lot of similar problems with this car however it appears that aren't many recalls to fix the same problems.

Love the car as it's a great ride and nice get up and go. At close too 100,000 miles and ($100,000 in repairs) it still gets great gas mileage!

I had to replace the front brake rotors within two weeks of buying the car. Not a big deal.

Also replaced front brake pads.

The car has amazing performance. The 3.4L V6 is super powerful.

The handling is extremely tight and smooth even at higher speeds.

The dash setup is quite stylish and unique. All controls are easily accessible.

The seats could be a little more comfortable. Probably would be if I had the Lumbar controls.

There is lots of room inside the car and inside the trunk.

I have to wonder where some people buy auto parts. I've purchased high quality parts and haven't come close to spending as much as some quoted prices. It also helps to do some repairs for yourself instead of running to dealer every time there is a squeak.

Repeated failure of hazard/turn signal switch. Been to the dealer 5 times to get it fixed and now it's happening again. There is a recall, but GM says that my VIN number is not in the recall.

Faulty suspension when the car was picked up from the dealer. The problem has repeated itself 3 times.

Clear coat keeps peeling off around the rear windshield. Now that my warranty has expired I have to continue fixing this problem by paying out of my pocket.

Heater, AC fan failed to work on settings 1 and 2. Problem occurred 3 times.

Console shows rapid rise in engine temperature when idling even for a couple of minutes. On the 2002 Toyota RAV4 this does not happen at all.

Too many rattling noises from behind the dash and passenger seat.

Even though most of the stressing problems have been electrical and not mechanical I would not buy another GM car again.

If you are planning on buying a GM car make sure you get comprehensive extended warranty, you'll need it. Or try a Japanese car. The RAV4 is very reliable, zero problems and it's at 70,000km.
