1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"This is the worst car I have ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I understand my car is older, but the repairs have been ridiculous from day one. I had to replace my brakes and wheel bearings within the first six months of ownership.
My TRAC light comes on every time I drive.
One year later, the wheel bearings again. Now my driver's side window only rolls down when it feels like it, and never works after it has rained.
I have a gas leak and an exhaust leak, which yes you can expect with a nine year old car, but it just adds to the frustration, since I once again have to replace my wheel bearings.
My mother owns a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, and has replaced her bearings twice already.
Come on, shouldn't the cars be recalled?
