2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Makes me never want to buy an American product again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken window operating system.
General comments?
The driver side window clips broke on my 2002 Grand Am SE. The catch is that one of the clips is connected directly to the window, therefore requiring the entire window system to be replaced which is around $500. When I called a Pontiac dealer regarding this I was told this happens all the time and that it's normally on the driver side window.
Another friend of mine with a Grand Am GT has the same problem. Pontiac is aware of this major defect, but has done nothing about it. I've called Pontiac directly regarding this and so far they have done nothing.
