1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Looks aren't everything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the car 2 days when I had to replace the Alternator. Expensive, but not something that could have been predicted. I have yet to have problems with the brakes, but I am now having a MAJOR problem with the factory security system. Twice in a week, the security system has armed when I have put my key in the ignition. Has anyone else had a problem with the security system?
General comments?
I Love the way my Grand Am looks and the way it rides. I am disappointed in the problems I am having. I drove a 1987 Cutlass Ciera before this car and never had ANY problems.
