1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE2 review from North America
"Once you get past the bugs it's an OK car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
IN my past 10k miles of use, I have replaced the transmission, power steering pump and lines, intake manifold, Intake manifold gaskets, calipers rotors and pads (seemed to get rid of the warping problem. I did this right after I got the car and haven't had a problem.)
-My trunk leaks on the right side
-blower resister went
-Stock radio display didn't work and the volume wouldn't go down
-Rear drums screwed up
-cooling hoses broken or leaking.
General comments?
The car is quick and sporty but be nice to it, if you beat on it, it will make you pay out the rear to fix it.
