I got my car, and I loved it. But after one week of having it, the rotors, ABS, and brakes need to be replaced.
Another week goes by and my plugs needed to be replaced.
My car was fine for a while then, but my steering wheel column came loose in a matter of days and disconnected while I was driving! From there on my car went down hill.
ABS went completely out, blinker socket blew out, brakes were gone already. Then till one day I was drving and lost almost all horse power, and my head gasket blew, once that went, the engine went completely. I did like my car, but if you want a car like that, you better be ready for what you paid for!
In general it was a nice car, it handled good, and rode OK! But, getting another Grand Am with a quad 4 would be stupid. Do not buy a quad 4 engine ever, I think they are junk. Otherwise, a decent car!
Hello, my name is Jason. I am a proud owner of a Pontiac Grand Am. I'd like to say the reason you had problems with the engine is because you bought the car with almost 150,000 miles on it! The car is shot! An good engine only lasts for 100,000 miles... I only have 60,000 on mine and it's running like a champ. I had it for 2 years now and I had replaced the brakes and firing coils once! The car has never given me a problem nor has my friends Pontiac given them any problems. So, I honestly think that your car has been beaten by you, or the engine was just worn out! 150,000 miles is a lot!! You shouldn't even buy a car with more than 50,000...you're just asking for problems with it! Anyone knows that! Thanks for hearing me out! bye!
These cars are difficult to work on an apparently the steering problems are a big issue, and not only for myself. Why would the steering just all of a sudden stop working in so many of these cars?... Well I can think of a single word to sum it all up, LEMON! Not to mention the poor engineering done, and the total lack of practicality made up for by what they thought would be "A better Car". PLEASE!
