2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT from North America - Comments

My engine leaks antifreeze constantly.

Wheel Bearings need replacing every year.

Vehicle does not age well.

Blinkers occasionally stop working, then with a restart of vehicle start working again.

Service vehicle soon lights are always coming on and off.

I have had my Grand AM GT for about 1 year. I purchased it used with 62,000 miles on it. When I purchased the vehicle it was in beautiful shape. The interior and exterior were immaculate. Sure, the mileage was high, but the price was right. I purchased it from a dealer.

Immediately one month after I purchased the car I had a slow anti-freeze leak coming from the gasket area. Also, the wheel bearings on both front wheels went bad. Shortly after I noticed my radio display would scramble repeatedly and would all of a sudden fix itself. Next, my horn stopped working. Next in line are my blinkers, one day they work, the next day they dont.

Also, I have an automatic transmission, but the vehicle seems to shift very hard. Not a smooth operating machine, that's for sure.

Now, after owning the vehicle for about a year I have the "Service Vehicle Soon", "ABS" and "Track off" lights on.

I am dreading to take it to the dealer; everything on this vehicle is at least $500 to fix. It's a nightmare.

There is a condition where the turn signals/ hazard lights may become inopperative, a pontiac dealership will fix this problem for free.

Have you been able to fix the ABS, service and "Track Off" lights yet? I've been dealing with this problem for months, and have replaced the wheel-speed sensor three times to try and correct it. I would be interested to know if you solved this problem.

Have a 99 GT. Many of same problems. Wheel Bearings always an issue with these vehicles. POOR design. I had the same issues wuth the lights. It was related to a bad battery and weak alternator. I never would have known.

To treat your hard shifting problems, switch to synthetic transmission fluid, that should fix the problem. That's what did it for mine.

I love my Grand Am I learned to drive on one and I love the way it drives. Although I have had many crazy problems with it. Ball Bearings in the front, Radio does not work, last year a piece in my door broke and I couldn't buy it because they didn't make the part by itself, I had to buy it in a kit. Over all The fixes are very expensive on my car, because everything is special. Even changing the belt cost me tons of money because the motor mount has to be taken out. I read all the coment's and I have had similar problems.
