1997 Pontiac Grand Am review from North America
"I will never recommend this car to anyone!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced Alternator twice.
Replace battery once.
Volume knob does mysterious things.
Clock display goes dark once in a while.
Key-ignition switch now broken.
New transmission at 115,000.
New tires, brakes.
Carpet is very worn.
Seats uncomfortable, worn.
Transmission fluid leaked.
Driver side window-roll knob falls off.
Light in trunk does not work.
Gas cap door release sticks often.
General comments?
Though my car has a lot of pickup and power it is very unreliable.
I take a lot of long trips because I am in college and the seats are terribly uncomfortable.
I feel like I have had nothing, but problems with my car. I will never buy another Pontiac again!
