2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America

I love my car, but I have had a lot of problems with it.. and the biggest problem I have had is it not starting sometimes. I see that many people have problems with it, and let's just say I have a trick that makes it start, if you don't have the money to get it fixed right away.

My car, like once or twice a month, would turn over but wouldn't start, as if the battery was dead. I would have the car towed, and when the mechanics would go out to bring it in, they would try and start it, and it would start right up. They thought I was crazy saying my car wouldn't start. They didn't know what was wrong. Found out one time that it was something with the security system and would have to bring it to the dealer to have it fixed. Couldn't afford it, finally once it happened again, went to different mechanic, called on the phone and asked what was going on? He then told me to go turn the key to where it says on, not try and start it... let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then turn the key back to normal and try and start it. I did that and it started right up for me. My security light would be flashing and once that stopped I knew it was time to start it. Since then I haven't had any problems after getting a new ignition put in. Well I hope that helps anyone with the same problem!
