1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"A real lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator went out at 55,000 miles.
The motors in the automatic windows had to be replaced so the window would go up completely.
The gas cap had to be replaced so it would fit tightly.
The transmission began to go out at 60,000 miles.
The key would only fit in the lock on the passenger's side door.
The brakes started to studder at 58,000 miles.
The starter went out at 56,000 miles.
General comments?
This car has had one problem after another.
