1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"The car is turning into a rolling piece of garbage (per our son)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Our son owns this car and was told a few months ago that it has a cracked head gasket. There should be a recall on this, because from talking to individuals (mechanics), we've been told that this is a very common defect in these cars. Therefore, if this is a common defect and the dealership knows of this problem, why isn't there a recall? Please let me know who I can write to or call to force a recall on this.
Another problem is the front passenger window. It won't roll up and down correctly, it shattered, had it fixed, and now it's happening again.
