1992 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"I love my piece of garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My spoiler broke about 1 month after I bought it due to a crack and wind. My alternator has been replaced twice since I bought it. The serpentine belt fried. Only half of the rear defrost actually defrosts. The fabric on the ceiling is falling down around the sunroof. The sunroof opener broke with normal use. The sunroof leaks so now I have a car with a swimming pool. The fuel door spring is broke, so I have to prop the lever up. The driver side window is off the track so I have to "help" it go up straight. The window knob broke (due to frustration). The ABS speed sensor doesn't work half the time. The coils sparked out. The brake line burst. It's got nothing off the line. It shakes really bad when I hit 90, with brand new tires on it. Oh, but the Stereo works great!
General comments?
Stereo is awesome.
A/C hasn't failed yet.
I got a swimming pool!
I can hit a mailbox and not care!
