1990 Pontiac Grand Am LE review from North America

What hasn't gone wrong with this hunk of junk! I have replaced the motor mounts, heater core, alternator, starter, radiator, radiator fan, and now, I've been told it has a blown head gasket! This car started running hot on me from the very first time I started driving it. It has put me on the side of the road, as of yesterday, 8 times and I'm sick of it. It seems with these Grand Ams, you pay to have something fixed, then a week or so later, it's something else! And the mechanic isn't totally positive that it is a blown head gasket. And I forgot to mention the speed odometer doesn't work. The thing that goes in the transmission, that makes the speed odometer work, it can take 4 different ones. So if you are hunting for one at the salvage yard, good luck, unless you have yours in hand! The air conditioner went out, or should I say, it works when it feels like it. The radiator fan, even though I had to replace it, it only works hooked straight to the battery. Let's see, did I leave anything out? The Pontiac Grand Am is a worthless piece of junk.

I really don't have anything good to say about this car. In fact, my neighbor has the same car and he's had basically the same problems with his too.

However, the radio does sound good.
