1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Total waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every possible thing has gone wrong. At only 37,000 the electrical system in the dash went totaLLY hay wire. At 38,000 the transmission expired. The vehicle eats brakes like no other. The water pump failed at 43,000. The head blew up at 58,000 and is still parked in my drive way looking brand new.
General comments?
This is quite possibly the worst power train General Motors has ever designed. How they continued to sale this vehicle is unbelievable to me. I wouldn't sale this vehicle to my worst enemy.
