"This car was a total waste of my money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My head cracked at 90,000 miles.

My check oil light comes on a lot.

My ABS light comes on. Don't know why.

The car runs rough.

Too many other problems to list.

General comments?

This car is a piece of junk.

Will get rid of it as soon as I get a chance.

Pontiac should recall all Grand Am's.

I totally agree I have a '97 Grand Am with 124k miles and I have had nothing, but problems with it since the day I bought it with only 68K miles. I have had to replace the head gaskit, heater core, timing components, tons of belts, bults, name it I've replaced it, and now its the alternator and fuel regulator!!! They suck how can a car have so many problems?? How can they continue to sell them.

Ever heard of regular maintancse or perhaps not driving it like's it brand new.

The car was made in 1992 it's lasted longer then GM wanted to. So problems will arise.

Also when a light comes on the dash usually you look into the manual see that it's a common problem and that it costs 20 bucks to fix instead of complaining about it.

I have a 92 Grand Am SE with 100,000miles on it, but it still hauls ass and I have never had to replace anthying execpt the exhaust and the oil on a regular basis. Also "tons of belts" do you have any idea how many belts there are on a car.

I own a '92 Grand Am also, and I really enjoy it. It's a Quad Four, small, but dependable. I especially like the excellent gas mileage. The check oil light came on in my car, too, but all I did was replace the oil sensor and that fixed it. Sure it's not perfect, but I've never had any serious problems with it. I think it's a great first car and I hope to have it until I graduate high school.
