2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT1 review from North America
"Great looking car with annoying little difficulties"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The speakers have blown twice since I got the car. Dealer replaced them, but it took several weeks both times.
The air conditioning has malfunctioned a couple times. It justs stops blowing cool air.
This is the second GT Grand Am I have had of this body style, both of them have had trouble with leaks. I have had the back carpet replaced in each car, as whenever there is any significant rain, the back floorboard is soaked.
General comments?
This is a nice looking car. I have had two of them, so I like the looks of it.
Both cars have had similar problems, in general Pontiac's seem to have wacky stuff that goes wrong with them.
I might consider purchasing another GM car in the future, but not at this time.
I have also had many problems with G.M.A.C., their financing company. I did not even know how badly they messed up my account until the lender for my new car let me know. (Another American car company, so we'll see how this one works out!)
