1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America

Drivers window started moving up and down slower and slower. It finally stopped and I had to have the motor replaced.

Seat belt strap covers have fallen off.

Volume knob on radio has a mind of its own.

I had to replace the alternator once.

I've replaced all the brakes, replaced the spark plugs.

Check engine light loves to come on all the time.

Keeps misfiring, only 3 cylinders are firing when I start up.

Brakes are grinding, even after being checked by two different auto shops.

Loves to pull and tug if you go over 60 mph.

Idles bad at startup. Either too low or it sticks way too high.

Dash squeaks constantly, I found that the radio tends to help out, once I get the volume set.

The fan knob keeps falling off while driving.

Paint on outside mirrors are chipping off.

Radiator level sensor keeps giving me coolant sensor alarms.

Panels on side doors are falling off, vibrates when you shut the door.

Dashboard lights flicker on and off while car is in operation.

Grinds when I try and turn sharp left turns.

Loves to fill the cab with exhaust fumes.

I bought this car so that I could get lower payments and try and get out of a bind. For the maintenance and repairs, I have had to refinance plus now I am going to pay 2,000 for service work on the exhaust and the injectors.

I have more money in it now than what it's worth.

It's turning out to be a big money hog.
