2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"It is a poorly designed vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rotors needed replaced/turned three times so far. The first time being at 5,000 miles, second at 21,000 miles, then again at 29,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is unsafe. To have to replace/turn rotors in a car three times under two years is a very poorly designed braking system.
The brakes tend to vibrate causing the entire car to shake regardless of the speed being traveled.
Pontiac-General Motors Company has not been a "customer friendly" company towards my problems with this vehicle.
