2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"The lemon of the Pontiac line"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The track off light came on all the time. We had it fixed 3 times.
The driver's side window would not roll back up, and had to have a new switch put in.
The main component of the ignition went out, and it had to be towed to the dealer to get it fixed as it would not start!!
We purchased the car at an out of town dealership, and the in town dealership would not service it as we purchased it from a different dealer.
General comments?
It is a sporty looking car and when it runs, it runs great.
Make sure that you check with your insurance agent and get a direct quote. For it not being a GT, it has high insurance as it is a small car.
The radio worked great, it really cranked.
