1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE2 review from North America

I too have had many problems with my grand am since I bought it new.

First, the rotors were replaced at 10,00 miles and since then they have been either replaced or "machined out" over five times.

At 60,000 miles, the manifold gasket went up and that had to be replaced. Thankfully I had invested in an extended warranty.

Third, my water pump went out at around 90,000 miles. That was before I even had to change the coolant in the car per General Motors recommendation of every 150,000 miles or five years.

The car also shakes violently at highway speeds. Alignments seem to help till I hit a pothole, but nothing else seems to fix the problem other than replacing the rotors every 5,000 miles.

The blower motor for the AC/Heat has not worked on the first or second setting for quite some time now. That will be fixed soon.

I have contacted General Motors several times over the past few years about the problems I've had with a new car, but according to them, I'm not eligible to receive compensation because the car has so many miles on it now.

If anyone that reads this wants to get people together to sign a petition for a recall or compensation, or to simply hire a class action lawyer, please email me! matthar924@aol.com.

I would never buy another General Motors car again, unless I had a guarantee that if any problems occur on the new car as I've had on my current Grand AM, that they must fix it at no cost to me. Yea right!
