1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Good looking, poorly made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the rotors and brake pads 3 time within about 14 months.
The volume control on the radio was defective (as the dealership informed me).
The original battery died out when the car wasn't even a year old.
The stereo display on the car has gone out.
The front headlamps are incredibly inconvenient and difficult to change. If your car is under warranty the dealership charges $400.00 to change.
The transmission and power steering lines have had leaks.
The sunroof often has problems opening or closing.
General comments?
The car is very sharp looking.
It is a very comfortable car to ride in.
The sound system is terrific.
The leg room in both the front and the back is larger than most cars of that caliber.
