1991 Pontiac Grand Am No designation (regular 2 door review from North America

"Outstanding!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Been keeping up with the normal maintenance i.e. spark plugs, shocks, wires, brakes, etc.

Replaced heater core at over 100,000 but less than 200,000 miles.

Replaced ORIGINAL water pump and ORIGINAL fuel pump between 270,000 and 285,000 miles.

Replaced ORIGINAL crankcase censor and ORIGINAL ignition module between 270,000 and 280,000 miles. (Car was stalling unexpectedly after jolting a bit. Thought it was fuel lines, but turns out it wasn't--it was the ignition module and crankcase censor!)

Currently we're on our fourth alternator.

Currently we are on our fourth starter (the third one in a year). (see next problem)

Most recent problem... start car and drive somewhere, shut it off, get back in a few minutes later, it doesn't want to start. Let it sit, it starts fine. But start it up right after shutting it off and it won't start. When it happened, they put in a new starter, but it's still doing it. It's in the shop right now being looked at.

Window problems. Bought it w/o AC so windows are used daily. Windows come off track, window comes out of clips that hold it into the door.

Passenger seat doesn't click back into place unless you force it.

It's losing it's pickup a little over time, but I'd attribute that directly to the mileage!

General comments?

This car will NEVER be traded in for anything. Even when we get a new vehicle, we're still going to run this Pontiac. It must have been a damn fine day when they made this, because overall I'd rate it a 9 out of 10.
