1997 Pontiac Grand Am SE review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went out 1st year I had it 1998 car had only 37000 miles on it.
Sensor light replaced this year 2004.
Ignition lock key replaced it was on call back 2003.
2004 I have a very loud sound coming from car while driving it sounds like an old fashion radiator heater that used to be in apartments.
Calipers replaced this year and I am told I need rotors.
The black molding around the back window is sticking up at the corners.
General comments?
This is a very good driving car overall, the manufacture just needs to work on parts that last more than a year.
It's a good car for expressway driving, gets very good gas mileage.
