2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Do not buy!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2002 Pontiac Grand Am won't start when security is violated (whatever). Trick is to set the key to ON for 12 minutes, then to off 45 seconds, then start the car; this worked a couple of times. Now that won't even work.
Towed many times. WE HAVE ALL READ THIS BEFORE, sound familiar.
So, I called General Motors 1-866-790-5700 to report this problem and to see if there was a recall. No recall, no help. Paid for a diagnostic done on my car and another tow. Paying for new fuel pump... go figure.
If my car won't start again, I am going to use this vehicle for the only thing it's good for, TARGET PRACTICE. GM said that not one customer has called in with this problem, so they can't do anything for me (don't believe it).
PEOPLE, IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM PLEASE CALL GM at the # above and make a complaint and get a file reference #. It's the only way to get assistance with this defect. If you need help to complain please write to me at hoggie41@hotmail.com
