2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE 1 review from North America
"Great Ride Not Worth To Buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power windows broke 4 x's. The dealership replaced the tracks and clips and they still broke.
3 brake jobs with new rotors each time. I even paid more money to get police style rotors (they are thicker and can cool faster and operate better under much heat) and my rotors are warped and need to be replaced some time in the near future.
Lower control arm bushings replaced on both sides 2xs on my passenger side and once on my driver's side. But there is still a knocking noise that the dealership cannot figure out.
Last, but not least, I would be sitting at a red light while my RPM's dip a little low and it sounds/feels that it is about to stall. Fuel pump replaced and I thought the problem was fixed, but I was wrong. I am still having the problem.
General comments?
I will never buy another Pontiac again.
I am afraid that the next one I buy will have the same problems or others that they won't be able to figure out nor fix.
