1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"If I only new I wouldn't have bought it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The computer chip was corroded and all the electrical stopped working and the car would shut off the 2nd day I owned it.
The battery, alternator, motor mounts, front axle, bearings all had to be replaced within the 1dt year.
The transmission went at about 105,000 miles and that cost me $2000 this year.
I had to replace the brakes about 3 or 4 times total.
I just replaced the motor mounts again.
The air conditioning compressor is ready to die on me.
My car just failed inspection due to my brake light, blinkers and hazards not working (again).
General comments?
I don't; want to get rid of the car because I put so much money into it I feel as though I am throwing money away.
When things aren't going wrong it really is a good car.
