2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint on the hood keeps bubbling and chipping off. It started doing this 3 days after I bought it. The dealer has repainted it 3 times now.
Replaced the fuel regulator.
Excessive Runoff onto the rotors, made the brakes vibrate and not stop that easily.
The car cranks excessively until starting or it just stalls out.
General comments?
This car has caused and is still causing me a lot of aggravation and headaches.
I purchased it brand new and it has been a lemon from the first week.
I continue to have problems.
Three years is definitely not enough of a warranty for this car.
