1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Junk. Stay away"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes and rotors. Again and again and again and...
Electrical problems-turn signals, blower motor.
Interior parts coming apart - inner door panels, mouldings.
Valves tick for a minute when started.
General comments?
I hate this car and am fighting with the dealer to dump it. I have never had a problem with a dealership as bad as this one. They have cut the rotors 3 times and now they replaced them. But I lease and pay $20 a month for an extended warranty (4 year) and they said they will not cover the brakes anymore - like it's my fault! My mother-in-law has a 95 Altima with 60,000 miles and hasn't touched ANYTHING except the tires and maintenence. Shame on GM for not recalling these junk cars!!!
