1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Not a good choice. High maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pump died after warranty expires at 101000 KM. Cause car to overheat and repair cost was too high.
Left on the drive way for a week, I was shock to see the left wheel spring broken.
Security light has been coming On and Off. Car will not start.
Bought anti-rust module, but rust develop near the gas tank. Informed guarantee doesn't cover.
Too many problems.
Fan will only work if set at 4 or 5. Have to replace the Fan Resistor.
Something to charge the battery (Inverter?) failed at 45000 KM.
Rotor disc has to be fixed.
General comments?
Look nice but not good for the wallet. Will consider Japanese car.
