1996 Pontiac Grand Am LX review from North America

Drivers side window motor - 47000km.

Alternator.

Oxygen sensor.

Gas tank.

Fuel pump.

Alternator (again - the first one was replaced at the dealership, the battery was also replaced this time).

Tensioner band.

Oxygen sensor (again)

Water pump.

Accelerator cable.

Part of the front suspension (cannot remember what part).

Air conditioner (has been recharged, but that did not work - I will likely have to replace it this spring).

The car is comfortable to drive, but I am not happy with the types (and costs) of the repairs required over the 4 years I have owned it.

I think there is something wrong in the engine, it is now hesitating (from time to time) going up hills.

The low traction warning light comes on and in the warmer weather, the ABS warning light also comes on after the low traction warning light has come on.

The car was purchased two years old from a dealership, and it was the Used Car Sales Managers wife's car, so I assumed that is was properly maintained.

I hope that it will last one more year (without any major repairs).

I have owned two GM cars, a Sunbird then this Grand Am. Previous to that I had owned Honda's for a number of years. I do not think I will be buying another GM car, I will likely go back to Honda.
