1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"A piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My rotors have been replaced twice.
My molding around both front windows has come a part.
My alternator has been replaced.
My battery went out at 65,000.
Intake gasket now leaks and I have to add coolant to the radiator every other day.
Front end shakes terribly when speed above 65.
General comments?
This is the worst car I've ever owned, I will never purchase another one like this if I can finish paying for it. The car wholes no value when I tried to trade it for something newer it's only worth about 3200. By the time I finish paying for it'll be worth $20.00.
