2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT1 review from North America
"This car is a piece of crap. DO not waste your money. Buy a Honda and you'll be happier"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I start? The drivers side door leaks water into the back seat where your feet go every time it rains, were talking like 1/2 an inch of water on the floor!
The heat/ac does not work on the 1 or 2 fan speeds.
The turn signal relays constantly click while I'm driving, so annoying!
My brakes/rotors grind.
I have ran out of gas twice because the gage told me I had over 1/4 of a tank of gas.
The dome light has fell down.
My most recent problem is that where the exhaust pipe comes out of the back of the engine there is a flexible joint that has broken so my car is LOUD as heck, kind of fun, but not supposed to be that way!
My cruise control button also sticks when I turn it on.
Also, when I acceleratemy "low coolant" light bings at me three times then the light goes off.
General comments?
I like the way the car preforms. It is all the little crap that goes wrong that I know is not my fault yet I have eto pay for it. Having read through all of your problems I wonder if there is a class action law suit that I can get in on. I feel like I bought a brand new lemon. So far I have had no engine trouble so thank god. I can barely make my car payments let alone have to spend $300 a pop every time some stupid little thing goes wrong. Over all I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy. I never thought I would say this, but buy a Honda or something foreign. No more GM cars for me that's for sure.
