1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"I will never buy another car like this again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My trans went out. Replaced it, and then the same day my power steering / rack and pinion blew a seal, and a day after that now my new trans is starting to whine like my old one did, and jerk when it change gears.
It has very very very bad gas mileage. I have to fill up every 3 days.
It eats up brakes like the Cookie Monster eats cookies.
I just changed the oil, and the low oil light still comes on.
My heat takes forever to warm up, and then when it does it starts to blow cool forever.
My antifreeze disappears, and sometimes you can smell it through the vents...
I don't know, my speed hand does not work and my car mileage hasn't changed in two years.
Now my trunk popper won't work unless the car is off, and my auto door lock won't lock when it's put in drive, and unlock when the ignition is off.
If I get another major problem out of it, I'M NOT GONNA FIX IT. IT'S GONNA EITHER BE SOLD OR IT CAN SIT AND ROT.
