2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Love the car, hate that it's having fits now!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car brand new.
I did notice from the beginning that the car made a rattling noise from the front end on really cold days, but other than that it wasn't bothersome. The dealership said that this was just how this car was and that it was nothing to be concerned about, so I've thought nothing of it.
It has been the best car I've owned until recently when the problems began, three weeks ago exactly.
My rear view mirror fell off! I've had a car ever since I was 16 and this has never happened before! I'm 31 now! The dealership said it was a common thing on any car, so, I thought nothing of it, they said it was covered under the warranty and reminded me that my warranty was going to expire within the next 15 days.
Well, on day 17, my "low coolant" light began coming on and going off. It's still doing it today!!
On day 20 my brakes began feeling like they were pulsating.
Hmmmmm, how convenient to have all this happen just a week after my warranty is up.
General comments?
I'm not sure if I'm looking at this list right, but y'all may want to check this site out as to me it appears to be a recall list for 2000 Grand Am's with brakes and coolant leaks issued this year.
