1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"We should have saved our money and leased a new car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes constantly wear out. I have had the coil tower go out on the highway on vacation. The alternator. The power steering pump. The fuel pump. The turn signal switch went bad. The heater core core blew. The rotors. the cam shaft seal. The head and gasket. The timing chain.
General comments?
The car is the money pit.
We have put at least 500-1000 dollars per year in maintenance.
We have been sorry we bought this car from the sart.
I find it highly undependable, entirely aggravating, and impossibly costly to repair.
Whenever we go to a mechanic and tell him it's a quad four motor, we get the "oh you poor sucker" reaction.
