2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Now that I have paid off my car all sorts of things are going wrong.
Two weeks ago, I had it into the shop. I needed new brake pads. The caliper was also not releasing.
Now I have to take it in because the head gasket is leaking onto the engine.
There is also a ticking noise inside the car. It sounds like the blinker is on, but it's not. They have to tear apart the steering column to fix it.
Every time that I've gone to my mechanic with this car they tell me that it's a common problem with this car. I hope there are no more common problems with it.
General comments?
I'm just very frustrated with the car. It will be 3 years old in October of this year. It just stinks because I'm having these problems.
