2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT1 review from North America

The starter has never worked as good as it should. When the engine is cold, the car will start right up. When the engine is warm, it sputters and cranks for a while before turning over.

My air-bag light will come on randomly.

My trac-off/service vehicle soon lights both come on randomly.

My transmission is starting to skip.

I just had it towed due to a short in the computer and a drained battery.

I have the 8 speaker monsoon speaker system and the back speakers had to be replaced.

I am only 17 years old and this was my first car, and I must say, it was a decent car for a 17 year old. I really liked the styling and the leather seats. The power sunroof and steering wheel audio controls were not bad options either.

When I replaced my speakers, I noticed that they are covered with some kind of meshy material so you cannot see the actual speaker. When I removed the meshy material off of the old speaker, I realized that the speakers were not blown at all. The tweeter that is glued in the middle of the speakers had become loose.

Also my transmission is starting to slip a little bit and seems to have trouble downshifting out of overdrive.

My starter sputters every once in a while and I can't get any mechanic to figure out the problem.

Other than that, this car is very comfortable, and all of the features of the car work great. the chrome rims add a nice touch to the appearance. The only feature I would add to the car is heated seats.
