1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT from North America - Comments

My rear head gasket blew at 93,000 miles and then my front head gasket blew at 95,000 miles.

My driver's side window motor is not working.

Now my coolant temperature sensor is not working correctly.

I enjoy driving my car. It is pretty zippy for a compact car.

I also enjoy the gas mileage. I had a gas hog Dodge Dakota before this.

Also I had to replace numerous other things when I purchased the car, like brakes, fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs. I work at a auto parts store and I know that this is regular happenings for a high mileage vehicle so I wasn't upset at those things.

What bothers me is that head gaskets blew out at 93,000 miles when other manufacturer's vehicles way out last that.

If I didn't have so many problems with my Grand Am (especially the expensive ones) I would love driving it. It handles great and it picks up and goes.

I would probably not get another grand am due to the fact that I think they were made to only last 100,000 miles. In other words, it is a throw away car.

I have a white 4 door 1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT and it drives and looks great. I have only had one problem with it since I got it in 1996 brand new. The only problem was the water pump and my car has 83,200 miles on it so I'll see if my car lasts past 100,000 miles.
