2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Not worth the trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Usual bad brake rotors. Seems fixed, but too early to tell yet.
2. Intermittent Turn signal Operation. No idea on this one.
3. "Service Vehicle Soon" comes on when low beam H/L went out. Why?
4. Terrible radio reception. No fix as of yet.
5. "Loose" rear end under hard braking/cornering.
General comments?
I just hate having to pay payments on something that I have to keep fixing. Guess I'll just have to get something that doesn't have so many little issues. As of now, the car's engine and tranny are great at 54,000 miles. (knock on wood). The lights, breaks, and small electrical issues will drive you crazy. The car is fun to drive if you can get past having to have it fixed at least once and oil change cycle.
