2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America

"The fastest 3.4 I've driven"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have a 2 door model. The lever to fold the seats up have broke off on both sides.

The rear rotors have been resurfaced.

The intake gasket has been replaced.

When I put the car into reverse, the Anti-lock brake light, service vehicle soon and no traction light have all came on. This has happened four times.

The Monsoon sound system sounded great until the speakers blew after only having it for one month.

I have found (re-occurring) random grease splatters on the drivers side of the car after having it washed. I had the dealer check for any torn grease boots and they found nothing.

The fuel pressure regulator has been changed at 39000 miles.

The anti-lock brake hub relays were all changed at 39000 miles.

Seems to burn power steering fluid.

Poor design to flip down the back seat. You have to open the truck and push against the back of the seat, then get back in the car and pull it down. Not very practical.

The driver's side shocks are noisy.

General comments?

My first car was a 1994 Grand Prix Se and I never had any problems with it.

Then I bought a 1998 Chevy S-10 and that ran like a champ.

I figured that a 2001 GT would be a nice upgrade considering 175 Horse and roomy leather seating, but I have been to the dealer at least once a month for problems that they cannot fix.
