2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"This car is a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I heard a squeaking noise at approximately 25 miles in the passenger side roof area every time the body would flex. The driver's side window creaks when going up or down. The steering wheel does not lock properly. The sunroof clicks when opening and closing. The lights behind the numbers 3&4 on the tachometer go on and off while driving. The car had a pull to the right after about 25 miles as well. The exhaust pipes in the back are uneven. The trunk is also uneven. There is a "bump" on each side of the quarter panel seams near the back of rear window. Found fish eyes on the passenger side of hood.
General comments?
The car is not worth the price I paid for it.
I am quite unhappy with my purchase of my first new vehicle.
The Pontiac manufacturer representative considered my problems "cosmetic" and that they could be fixed without a problem.
I was looking for a dependable and safe new vehicle, not something that had to be in the shop every other week.
