2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"A definite reason not to buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car would not start at 11,000 and 15,000 miles.
Freeze plug around the driver's door has expanded times 4.
Radio display lights are jumbled when the vehicle first starts and for the first five minutes of driving.
Many other minor defects a new vehicle should not have.
General comments?
I am very unhappy with this vehicle.
I have never had to wonder if my new vehicle will start in the morning.
