2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE2 review from North America
"Poor execution of a good idea.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Braking system on this automobile is horrible. Has been to the dealer 3 times for braking problems (vibration/scraping/grinding). Combination of resurfacing/replacing is a temporary fix only, problems come back within a few thousand miles. Last trip to the dealer, was told not to bring the car back for brake problems again??!!
General comments?
Poor quality/construction of the braking system combined with even poorer dealer support make this a car to avoid.
