1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT review from North America
"A bumpy cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My cars started making noise under the hood I took it to the shop, and my mechanic says it's going to cost me $270 dollors to fix.
This car shakes and rattles terribly when I drive over the smallest bump on the road.
My handle on the side use to control the lumber broke easy.
My paint on the mirrors is chipping away.
My check engine light comes on every-time I drive over 60 mph, and then would just suddenly go off by it self after driving it for another week weird!
General comments?
This car has been pretty reliable for me besides the problems I mention it has never left me stranded.
This car is pretty quick too, and handles very well in my opinion.
The car has a sporty style inside and out the cock pit interior and the soothing red instrumental lights are cool!
The car also has a nice sound system.
