2001 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"Alright"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well for beginners, I bought my Grand Am based on looks and how much room it had. My first problem began about six months after purchasing my vehicle, I was on a highway heading to work when my steering column froze forcing me to the side of the road. I had to have my vehicle towed to the dealership where they said I had a cracked steering column.
About6 ths later I noticed a faint gas smell in the car every time I turned on the heat. That was a concern so I brought it in where they proceeded to tell me I had a crack in my gas tank, that is on order and will be fixed soon.
I have had several brake repairs due to failure in brake lines and such.
I don't recommend this car to any one looking for a long lasting reliable vehicle. Looks nice, rides nice, but it won't live up to your expectations for a reliable vehicle.
General comments?
Good for a sporty beach car!
