2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from Germany

"It is a good town car, but no more"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I was going down the autobahn (highway) about 140kph (87 mph) and the hood popped off and went into the opposite line of traffic and hit a ford ka. one time I was in town and I slammed on brakes and the brake lights didn't come on and a car slamed in behind me at 40kph (25mph). the seat belts didn't lock and the airbags didn't come out. every time I slammed on the gas real hard the car shuts off the dealership saids that they can't find the problem. I have been to over 4 dealerships now to check on this problem. the brake rotors have to be changed every time the pads do. the radio sucks. the speakers in the back don't work so I had to buy new ones. the doors leak in the rain or when washing the car. the engine blew up because the transmission wouldn't change from 1st to 2nd. this caused me to pay for a new engine and transmission and that cost ed me $2453.54 in American dollars.

General comments?

This car is a great car when it is working right. I hate the steering wheel and I hate the radio. the car looks great. I like the way the headlights and the fog lights look. the speedometer says that the car will go 240kph (150mph) but I have only got the car to go 201kph (126 mph). this was when the car was new. my BMW would go a whole lot faster than that piece of junk that I bought from Pontiac. my BMW will go over 250 kph (155 mph) and it has a smaller engine. this grand am sucks. and when you get over 160kph (100 mph) the car starts to shake and the steering will make your hands go numb. and the wind noise is awful.
