2000 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America

I replaced both front wheel bearings at 20,000 miles.

There are gas tank issues, the tank will say it's at half, but I will be out of gas.

I have excessive noise, such as loud creaking whenever I put on the brakes.

The car leaks coolant.

Currently in the shop with both rear gaskets cracked.

I purchased my Grand AM in 2003 and within one month of owning the car I had to replace both front wheel bearings. Was driving one day and the car just quit so I had it towed to the nearest shop and thank god the owner was honest, he told me it may be the fuel pump, but he was not sure, he really couldn't find anything wrong with it, well the car was actually reading a 1/4 tank of gas, but was out of gas. I no longer trust the gas gage. When I press the brakes the creaking and clunking is so loud people actually turn around to look at me, but nothing is wrong with the brakes, this I'm told is normal. Now, the last straw today, the low coolant light came on, it did not overheat so I made it to a garage, the bad news $1200.00 for two cracked gaskets, plus $70.00 just for looking at it. Once it's fixed I'm trading it in! Never again will I buy a Pontiac. I have had two Dodges and both ran until about 280,000 before I sold them. I'll stick with Dodge!!
