1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from Japan
"Too many problems with the same things and Pontiac isn't fixing them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had problems with the front brakes since 6,000 miles and had to turn the rotors three times.
Replaced front driver side window regulator/motor at 20,000 miles.
Replaced alternator at 18,000 miles. It seems to be a problem due to the location of the alternator, which is burning it out due to a ventalation problem.
With only 21,000 miles on my car, I had to get it aligned twice.
With hot weather, the rear doors leather/vinyl is bulging out and coming out of the window frame area.
