2001 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Typical GM car, I guess"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I took this car to the dealership on Monday for oil change/safety check. The little knob that moves the outside mirrors had fallen off down inside the door, so I had that fixed to. Oh, and the left seat belt got tangled up the last time I took it in, so that needed to be fixed as it was hard for passengers to pull it in/out.
On Thursday night I picked it up, paid the bill, drove home. Friday afternoon I took to a few blocks to the shopping center, did some heavy-carry errands, and went to start it to go home. Car wouldn't start. Had to have it towed back to dealership. They don't seem to know what is wrong with it... Haven't seen the car since I had it towed there.
This car was a problem the first year we had it. Turned out there was a defect in the "computer chip" It has worked OK since then. I just don't know why the dealership can't find out what is wrong with the car they are supposed to be experts at.
General comments?
I miss my Tercel, but had to sell it as my husband had cancer and we didn't need two cars. I was still hoping he would live...
