1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Not bad for the money, save some of your big down payment for repairs,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The glass got scratched from rolling the windows up and down.
Replaced seal around gas pump hole, it would leak gas when full (extended warranty).
Divers Power seat doesn't work.
When it is real cold the windshield wiper fluid freezes because of bad engineering.
Had brake problems until I bought after market rotors and pads.
Fan blower settings 1 and 2 doesn't work anymore.
Replaced passenger-side window motor.
General comments?
For several things going wrong with it in 4 years, I don't think its that bad of a car.
The engine is working great still.
I am scared to take my chances on another grand am.
