1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"Another GM tragedy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this vehicle from a Mom and Pop dealership with only 1 previous owner. Within the first week I had it the belt needed replaced and the battery went dead.
Now I have this serious clunking noise when I turn corners.
The dealership insists that all Grand Am's have this noise.
My volume knob doesn't work, I need to use the one of the steering wheel.
The driver's side car window doesn't always go up and down smoothly.
General comments?
I really like the look of my Grand Am, but next time I will buy a car that is more practical than sporty.
